The Cumberland Hotel - Bournemouth

The Cumberland Hotel has many good features, especially the downstairs area of the hotel as it is in appearance how it is described on the website. However, I really wish that the same quality had been given in the bedrooms. Even though I asked for a standard room, I have had better quality rooms at a a Ramada/Travel Lodge/Holiday Inn. The lino flooring in the bathroom (which was of fair size) was actually quite smelly. The bedroom which seemed smaller than the bathroom was decorated ok and the beds were comfortable even though my feet were hanging out the end, I might like to add that I am 5'4". The carpet could do with a change but a good clean wouldn't go amiss. Just one last thing.....i stayed in room 116 and there is a constant knocking sound that comes from the wardrobe and never stopped keeping me awake all night and morning.

An excellent hotel, very clean with friendly staff. Our room was very nice, well decorated and clean. The restaurant was superb and very reasonable.A very pleasant stay all round.

location , clean room, good food, good price

quiet room and nice and warm

The doublebeds are to small!

i enjoy the comfort style and just love this hotel, i have stayed here a few times and wow love it

we were there for a function and enjoyed the weekend

hotel is well presented and has a relaxing and friendly atmosphere

Parking on site was convenient There was a very good breakfast.Being upgraded toa double room was a mixed blessing]

The noise of clunking pipes all evening

My partner and I checked into the Cumberland (driving past all the hotels looked very similar, but this hotel I cannot fault). We were welcomed with very friendly and helpful staff. Upon arrival, we were told our room had been upgraded free of charge to an amazing sea view terraced room. It was perfect. Breakfast was lovely, large variety, hot and fresh. Hotel bar, very swanky. Not what I expected, better. It was our anniversary, and my partner proposed to me on the beach. Cumberland made our stay even more better! thank you! We will be coming back to this hotel every time we come back to Bournemouth.

Very very good standard of Hotel. We planned to eat in town but decided to eat in the brasserie for our two night stay. The standard of food was first class. The service was friendly and quick. The decor was excellent and could not fault the comfort of the Hotel. I would recomend this stay to anyone, fantastic value. 9 out of 10 only 1 point from perfection because the room was smaller than expected but excellent value and very clean.

I asked about a bath not a a shower and was told i should have not booked a buget room

The staff were efficient and courteous. The restaurant food and the sandwiches were well prepared and tastefully served.

For such an expensive room, the lack of a satisfactory shower control and the paucity of milk provision (requiring baths and black coffee) was not up to the standard of many more reasonably priced hotels I have stayed at in Vienna, Paris, Berlin and Rome.

Very nice hotel, much better than you would expect in this price bracket. Good buffet breakfast, Nice rooms and comunal bar, function room and lounge areas are great, the staff were very friendly and I would definately stay again.

Soap in bottles attached to walls but I guess this keeps the costs down.
