I mainly liked Cecil Court because it was in a quiet location, with little disturbance from other guests. I was prepared for the 15 minute walk to the beach I stayed in a single room with ensuite bathroom, which was of a good size and comfortable.

A nice clean and well maintained hotel in a good location. Both the shops and beach were within walking distance from the hotel. There were also restaurants and cafes within walking distance and bus stop close by for accessing local bus services within Bournemouth. The room was a reasonable size and comfortable bed. The only thing found was the reception was mainly staffed during check-in times, so there wasn't really staff around to ask questions regarding the hotel.

The staff were extremely helpful when I arrived a few minutes after 8pm. The room was just perfect for a single traveller, the bed was extremely comfortable! Free Wi Fi was a bonus . There was free parking on the street outside. The charge for parking in the hotel car park was really reasonable, although the car park is rather small . It was great for my one night stay. I didn’t get chance to try the breakfast before checking out but would definitely consider staying here again.

Lovely place to stay!

Wonderful stay. Met with a very kind and informative greeting. Rooms clean, comfortable and spacious. Lovely choice at breakfast, both cooked and continental. Choice of breads for toast!!!! Hotel is very central to the town centre, beach and Pavillion, perfect situation.

The hotel didn't appear particularly busy when I stayed so I was able to make use of the limited hotel parking that was available. The cost was £10 Reasonable imo. The location of the hotel is excellent for both the beach and the main town and it's very easy to walk to both. My single room was clean and well maintained. However, as good as the shower was it did take an age for the warm water to come through. The one downside was that you have to remember to tell the reception staff before 8pm that you require breakfast the following morning. Unfortunately I remembered too late and the reception closed at 8pm so I needed to go elsewhere for my breakfast. The Olive Grove cafe down the road did an excellent full English and very reasonable. I'd stay here again as it's handy for the ferry from Poole

The chap behind reception was very welcoming and informative. The bed was super comfy and the huge tv was a bonus! Really quiet room so we slept really well. Generally a really good stay. Only issues we had were the toilet brush was filthy with dirty water at the bottom of the brush and the carpet in the room desperately needs a clean there were coffee spills and marks all over it, but In all a really good stay we will come back. No issues with parking either :)

Slightly daunting check in process with a list of extra costs for everything including coming in late, parking and losing your key. However the room was clean and tidy, the breakfast smelt lovely though we did not book for breakfast. There was a bar there but it was unmanned and you had to request drinks

Good overall

We had a slight problem when we arrived but the receptionist couldn't have been more helpful and sorted it out. Family room was not big but clean, plenty of storage and beds comfy. Unfortunately the cooked breakfast was not good. Everything was over cooked and dry and(in my opinion) seemed warmed up after being cooked a long time previous. However there was plenty of toast and cereal! Location was great too. 10 mins walk to beach and town centre

The room was very warm & I asked if any fans were provided. I was told they don’t due to being stolen previously. This made the night very uncomfortable. Maybe offer fans with a deposit to cover costs will be helpful.
