Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel

Chose this hotel as it was among fine ones (based on reviews) and available for the dates I was travelling. Also, had spa and swimming pool in the premises. A complete disappointment mainly due to cleanliness, to be preside lack of it. It is old indeed but that is not the reason why there is weird smell in the room and corridors. The floors are carpeted and seems that never vacuumed (at least never in those 3 nights we stayed). Any movement in the room and the dust is flying all over the place. We decided to use the pool, there are two, one outside complementary - filthy, things were floating in water - never saw it being cleaned - chlorine, very strong stench, burns the eyes, and I believe it is assumed that it is clean if you apply immense amounts of chlorine. Then we decided to try spa, you have to pay £12 per person (£24 for 2 people) for the duration of the stay - big mistake not worth a penny. We though if you pay you might as well get better service, cleaner pool and saunas. I was showed the amenities but it was only when I changed and tried the sauna, steam room that I noticed how yet again filthy the place is, hairs on the floor, the tiles seemed to be mouldy (dark and not cleaned). I went in jacuzzi, the water was not warm and there was thick foam on the surface (shouldn’t be). Then I checked the other side of the pool and when was getting out of water something stuck to my hand - hair, I check the surface again and noticed things floating (mostly hair). Tiles were dirty everywhere. We couldn’t stay any longer and left.

Excellent experience Definitely I will come back !!!! The bed was amazing relax

Foi muito bom, piscina com água limpa, academia organizado e ainda café da manhã maravilhoso. Vale ressaltar que o quarto do hit Foi um dos melhores que fiquei na minha vida

I should have investigated better before booking - it may have affected my choice had i been aware of the charges for use of parking and the spa. The room itself was comfortable enough however it was unbearably hot , even the water did not run cold. I was less than impressed by the receptionist whose answer when queried was that all hotels in bournemouth are like that being old buildings. I have syayed in several hotels in bournemouth so i am aware that is not the case atall.

This was a good stay! The staff members were very lovely and very welcoming and our hotel was very good. However the rooms we slept in was very hot, and the spa pools were very small so wasn’t “impressed” as such but everything else was lovely. Our favourite was the crystal cave room and steam room. The facial massage I got was good however the products by ELEMIS did not last for a very long time at all. It did go away within 2 hours (and I did not have makeup on my face). Overral the hotel experience was good!

We had a great stay at West Cliff for a weekend with the family. Very kind and helpful staff in reception and spa, and the kids really enjoyed the swimming pool.

The Evening meal was excellent and presentation could not be faulted, served straight from the kitchen 100% hot, none of the “ hot holding “ game played here . The waitress was excellent and polite, she took our order ( for four starters and mains inalll 8 different dishes ) and got them 100% correct without writing them down or using a IPad or ther IT .Think you must have photographic memory

nice hotel for Poole / Bournmouth Area, only stayed teh one night but food was very good

We booked the superior room which was renovated a d had air conditioning. Nice, large and spacious. Spa was good but there was a charge. Plenty of free parking next to the hotel or £12 per 24 hours.
