We had a lovely stay at the Royal Bath Hotel. The hotel is beautiful, clean, and in a perfect location. A special mentio
Pros:

We had a lovely stay at the Royal Bath Hotel. The hotel is beautiful, clean, and in a perfect location. A special mention goes to Timur at reception, who was exceptionally professional, welcoming, and provided exemplary customer service. He is a real credit to the hotel, and staff like him make all the difference. Thank you, Timur!

Cons:

There is nothing i didn’t like

A very relaxing stay by the beach
Pros:

We asked for an upgrade as ts our 3rd visiti since April and been many times before the room was amazing with a beautiful view overlooking the sea,the balcony was a delight to sit and have tea outside.Breakfast as always was very good plenty of choice and not to manic lol will deffo go again as the location of the hotel is perfect .

Cons:

It is outdated and not long ago the spa you didn’t have to pay for but that’s also the attraction of the hotel being the oldest one in Bournemouth,and hardly no children 😊
