Best Western Hotel Royale

Our 4 day / 3 night visit to both Bournemouth and the Hotel Royale was perfect in every respect enjoying what has been to date the hottest period this year. We were lucky to be staying in room 102 which looks out to the front of the hotel and has a balcony allowing us to sit out in the evening admiring the trees and the gentle cooling breeze without being disturbed by the road which apart from the normal Bournemouth rush hour times is quite. The hotel in general is clean and efficient, catering for both business and leisure users with seating to a small well kept garden area. The hotel offers an indoor pool which we did not make use of , but noticed again that it was well maintained. For us the single best feature of the hotel is the food in particular the evening meal which is of a standard that is hard to put into words as each element of our meals was both well cooked and presented . We feel we must mention Franclim the Restaurant Manager who always had a smile on his face and greeted us with sincerity each night and morning , equally Mark our waiter would always go the extra distance to ensure that we had just what we wished mixing items from the Chinese and English menus. It is with great delight that we would recommend this hotel to anyone who is seeking excellent food combined with a good standard of hotel. . less

Situated a couple of minutes walk from the top of East Cliff 'zig Zag' and you are on your way to the fabulous beaches. This hotel is in a great location for access to the promenade, Oceanarium and attractions a few minutes further on. Property has good sized on-site car parking which although chargeable is a fair £2.00 (June 2017) per night compared to on-street parking and Town Centre. The lounge bar area is presented well, tidy and clean and is modern/trendy - it looks like maybe a recent refurb has been undertaken on public areas. Indoor swimming pool available - great for cooler days or when you've had too much sun. Room was excellent for the price paid, comfy bed, clean and well stocked with Tea, Coffee and Biscuits. Staff are friendly, courteous and professional and do a good job to represent BW brand. Hotel suitable for travellers on business or holiday, solo, couple and friends. The Hotel has a breakfast Buffet Option which is £8.50 advance (June 2017) - this included hot Full English with decent Bacon, (vegetarian sausage option too) plus Continental with salami, ham and cheese, fresh fruit (watermelon, pineapple, banana, orange) as well as dried nuts, seeds and fruits to have with the cereal selection. Croissants, toast, jams and yoghurt too. Taking everything into consideration I would stay here again and thank the staff for a great stay. less

Excellent hotel for the value! Stayed overnight visiting some friends. Nice accommodations and friendly pleasant staff. Just a short walk to town. Food was great! The breakfast in particular was a excellent! Would definitely return for a stay. less

This was a two night business trip and the hotel served it well. It's among a number of hotels on the East Cliff, close to the centre and good for cliff-top views. The breakfast was good and there was a reasonable menu in the restaurant. The indoor pool was bonus - very good value for money. less
