Stayed here for two night in an exec room. I had originally planned to arrive at 2.30am but arrived at 10.00pm- I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had a welcoming package ready for the late arrival. Good points- quite a few. Location good for town and business, marginal for beach and sea. Check in staff excellent, bathroom new... More

Just had a pleasant two night stay in Bournemouth with elderly parents at Royal Norfolk hotel. The rooms we had and some of the combination areas were a little dated but the food and outstanding service more than made up for that. The paintwork its slightly battered here and there but there are some lovely original features. The hotel seemed... More

Brilliant location right in Bournemouth, so can park up and not need the car. Car parking really pricey though, bit of a rip off. Didn't eat there, so can't comment on that. Had a look in 3 or 4 executive rooms and they all seemed of a pretty good standard, as we asked to be moved as our first room... More

You couldn't choose a better location in Bournemouth if you wanted to be near the centre of town and so some quick shopping. The hotel ambiance is of faded charm. It presents itself as a wedding venue and it has a spa next door and a small indoor pool (though it is not large enough for people who want to... More

We stayed at the Norfolk Royale for two nights in May. Our room was on the third floor, overlooking the garden, and was very comfortable. My only criticisms would be that there is no clock in the room, and also no complimentary bottled water. I did feel that £2.50 for a 500ml bottle of water from the mini bar was... More

This is a traditional hotel furnished in a style to match the building, spotlessly clean, with free wifi and with a comfortable king sized bed . Everyone on the staff was friendly, helpful and the bar staff were happy even when we got back very late and wanted a nightcap. The location is fantastic, very close to the beach, gardens,... More

I had to plan a 35 day business trip to bournemouth. Zero'ed down Norfolk based on the location. The location is fantastic. The beach, lower gardens, square and the triangle are all within walking distance. Loved my time spent in the square during the weekend. Plenty activities going on to keep you entertained through the afternoons. You have over a... More

Well appointed rooms, traditionally furnished, spotlessly clean and a very comfortable king sized bed - B&B deal was great value for money. Excellent customer service, everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcomed, nothing was too much trouble. The staff are a real credit to the hotel, I cant believe this hotel isn't higher in the Bournemouth... More

We spent the May bank-holiday weekend here and found the hotel staff very helpful indeed. They happily changed our room for a quiet one overlooking the garden, when I phoned just a few days beforehand, and pre-booked our car parking so that we had a named space on the forecourt. The senior receptionist was particularly helpful and friendly, and in... More
