We were fortunate to only have 1 night at this horrible excuse for a hotel on our way to Jersey and Guernsey. It's a shame it is so poorly managed and maintained because it could be a nice property...when they ran out of food for the evening meal after the chef left, the manager said the the guests that had...

We stayed at this hotel for a week and quite frankly it was excellent. We had booked half board through Travelstyle, and for the price we paid one could not expect anything better, it was very good value. The room was small but clean, as was the hotel. The breakfast and evening meal were buffet, and were very good quality.... More

Comedy of customer service errors. Booked into the wrong rooms and had to pay extra, hard horrible beds...70's decor and probably not had a lick of paint since. Worst of all we weren't told breakfast finishes at 10 or that was the checkout time...poor hotel. I have now stayed in two Britannia hotels and both were in pretty bad shape.... More

Not the best stay in a hotel and sorry to say not many positives.... Started by entering a very tired looking reception that was not very clean, allocated a room and we did not expect great things as we did get a good room rate... or so we thought.. The lifts... advertised as Maximum 2 People - the sign needs... More

I spent 6 nights in the Britannia Bournemouth and would like to share my impressions with you. It is not a lousy place as you could think reading the other reviews. It is not great either, but I believe the hotel generates main business through internet deals and I honestly can say that I was satisfied with the value for... More

Good location and easy to find. The hotel advertises free parking but has a very limited number of spaces for the size of hotel. We had to park on the street which is free from 5pm to 9am. The staff at reception were polite and friendly but were having a joke with each other which might have annoyed some customers... More

Struggled on arrival to find parking ended up on the street, having to move car before 9.00am or face parking charges, even though website says parking available. General decor very poor, tired and shabby. Bedroom clean, bed comfortable, but other than that not a particularly welcoming experience. Shower minute and need of a good spring clean.Worst part - paper thin... More

Me and my Boyfriend booked this hotel last weekend. After a 3 hour drive we where happy to arrive. Once checked in we went up to our TINY 1980s decorated bedroom which was dirty and to be honest looked like it was falling apart. After speaking to the very helpful man on reception he was happy to show us another... More

The room was pleasant and clean and the bed was comfortable.The evening buffet offered a very good selection and was perfectly cooked, similarly the breakfast buffet was excellent.
