The Marlin is an impressive detached hotel in a great location in Bournemouth, with only a 5 minute walk to either the centre of town or to one of the beautiful beaches. The inside of the hotel can only be classed as bordering on boutique style, with a grand hallway, beautiful furniture with a very elegant feel. The room I... More

We stayed at Marlins for one night before getting the ferry from Poole to Jersey. We booked it because of the reviews on trip advisor and our stay lived up to expectations. Friendly welcome, lovely room and the full English breakfast was the best I've ever had. Would highly recommend. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Bournemouth... More

I stay one night a week in a hotel in Bournemouth for work purposes and my requirements are very specific - for as close to £30 as possible, I need a good quiet night's kip, a decent breakfast with some healthy options, a hot shower and a clean room. I also need to be close to the beach for a... More
