In response to the previous review the Royal Bath is a 4 star but was told by a member of staff that it is a 'SELF ACCREDITED 4 STAR'. Our orginal booking was on a different date and the royal bath were good enough to change our dates to the weekend of the 15th and 16th. That unfortunately was the... More

My wife and I recently stayed at this hotel due to getting a very good weekend deal . I was a little bit apprehensive after having read so many negative reviews about the royal bath but upon arrival in the foyer I was pleasantly surprised at what a beautiful hotel this is , it's got very large comfortable lounge area...

After a long standing booking for a three course carvery lunch for an 80th birthday celebration we were dismayed to be told the day before that it was going to... More

I booked a single room via bookings.com and saw that normally a single room here would more than likely to be inward facing and on the ground floor. I needed a cheapish room for the night in Bournemouth so did not think was too much to ask. I booked a single room at a rate of £70 inc breakfast. I... More

We went to the Royal Bath at the last moment as we found ourselves in need of a room in Bournemouth. We got a good price on the room (at 3 o'clock in the afternoon) with breakfast, but the valet parking at £20 seemed pretty steep - that is per day! Still, we went with it. Nice large room with...

Stayed here for a conference in BIC. Great location, lovely old hotel, historical connections to Oscar Wilde, Marvellous gardens, sea views onto fabulous beach, nice public areas. Breakfasts were fine, some issues about laying of tables but not a 'deal-breaker'. Bedroom was spacious, bit dated but in keeping with the period of the hotel. Bathroom fine and functional. What was... More

I booked a stay for 2 nights over the phone and was not told once that I'd have to pay for parking until we got there. Checked in on the Friday evening after waiting in the car outside the front of the building so we could have some assistance with our bags. None was forthcoming as there was only one... More

The hotel location isn't bad. The staff aren't bad. However £20 to park for one night in the hotel car park was a bit of a let down. The room we stayed in was fairly run down and noise throughout the night prevented a decent stay. The noise was constant throughout. Breakfast was another disappointing thing about this place. The...

We where very disappointed in the food and service for what we thought was a very good class hotel/restaurant. We complained at the time and they gave as another meal but sadly was no better.
