Avoid at all costs.

We really wanted to like this hotel but it is extremely tired and overpriced. A dried out chicken burger by the pool is almost £20, they even charge you £1 extra to put a slice of cheese in it. Hotel is advertised with an indoor pool, this is in the even more tired property next door and seems like it hasn’t been cleaned since the hotel opened. There is literally a black rim of dirt round the entire edge of the pool. It is just such a depressing place to stay and the prices of the rooms are actually laughable per night. The water pressure in the shower is not strong enough to wash your hair, the room also has no amenities whatsoever, At a push this is a 2 star lodge, certainly not a 4 star hotel. If you really must stay in Bournemouth which itself is equally as depressing, we highly recommend you stay somewhere else. We wouldn’t stay here again if you paid us to stay.

We arrived around 5.30PM with a private wedding in full swing at the property - weddings are fine but this one erupted into a full scale fist fight in reception just as I arrived - my girlfriend was terrified and didn’t want to get out of the car. We pulled past reception and waited for the fight to end and when I went in to check in I asked what had happened and the staff just played dumb as if nothing had happened. It was loud in reception and some boisterous men were still there making loads of noise and all the staff were concerned about was taking more money from me. Very unimpressed and if I could have found a room elsewhere I would have - I even left early and only actually stayed one night despite having booked the room for 3 nights - not impressed at all - the reception staff did not care one bit

Great family trip - wonderful friendly service

Wonderful Family Stay – Highly Recommend! We had a fantastic two-night family break at the Cumberland Hotel. We booked a family room with a king-size bed and bunk beds, and used Tesco Clubcard points which was a great bonus. We arrived just before check-in, easily found parking, and were warmly welcomed. Although our room wasn’t quite ready, we were invited to use the outdoor pool – a real treat on a sunny day! The pool was clean, well-staffed, and perfect for families. Huge thanks to Ali and Sophia, who looked after us for the whole trip with big smiles and great service. Our sea-view family room was spacious, spotless, and freshly decorated. The view from the balcony was stunning, and the in-room fridge was a brilliant touch for families. The bathroom was modern, though the shower pressure could be improved. Breakfast was another highlight. The buffet was hot, fresh, and constantly topped up. Franck, (age 82 was a gem) who served us, was an absolute star – even warming pancakes for our girls! The Friday night fireworks was amazing! A great bonus: guests can use facilities at other Oceana hotels. We enjoyed both outdoor pools and even used the indoor pool next door. Classic, friendly service like this is rare – every member of staff was lovely, a real credit to the team. We had a brilliant holiday and can’t wait to return!

The worst hotel in the country and possibly world

A filthy, old hotel run by people who clearly show what they think of their customers by the experience they provide. Worst hotel experience of our lives. On arrival, we asked if we could get free parking, as we had booked several expensive rooms for two nights. The reception manager, extremely unpleasantly then greeted us and told us that her job is to make as much money as possible and as we booked our rooms several months ago, she thinks we did not pay enough and she could sell the rooms for double what we payed, so no free parking, £12 per night for us. Thanks. Everything is filthy, old and tired. Here is what you DONT GET - so be prepared. - No safe in the room - No water in the room - No fridge in the room - No soap in the shower - Water pressure too low to use the shower - One rusty iron and board PER FLOOR that spits out brown gunk - No MIRROR in the room, other than a tiny thing above the desk - A broken old hairdryer - Windows full of condensation and mould - Flat battered old pillows - Screaming, doors slamming and babies crying with a smell of weed throughout the night (ZERO SOUNDPROOFING) A once was something slightly special hotel many years ago before budget airlines took people to Spain milking its 70 year old reputation by providing a sub standard experience to its unsuspecting paying guests. Not a 2 star hotel let alone a 4 star. Reporting them to every authority, the owners should be ashamed of themselves.

Very comfortable bed and pillows. Seating in main lounge too low for my mobility but other areas ideal. Seating in Ventana restaurant, too low again. For a four star establishment, bedroom furniture needs updating and lining in my bedroom curtains very badly ripped and needs replacing. Breakfast has superb choice and the one evening meal we had was really lovely. Great bar and choice of drinks. Good staff all round.

Disappointing start

We arrived at 1450 to find our room not ready. This was not a problem as we were slightly early. I was advised it would be ready in ten minutes. We went to the bar and purchased two drinks We returned at 1520 to be told our room was still not ready. We hovered at reception hoping to get into our room. . A different room was offered to us , which was accepted as it was then five hours after leaving our home. It didn’t feel like a good start .If the cost of the drinks were reimbursed it would have gone some way to appease us

Old facade, but rooms have been refurbished to a good standard. The rest of the interior has retained some of its 1920's charm. Staff are helpful and hotel is well positioned with wonderful sea views. Beware that if you book through Expedia parking at the hotel is not free. I would in future book direct as the hotel will match the Expedia price and you can take advantage of the free parking which saves £12 a day.

Avoid this hotel like the plague! Very old dated decor & furnishings throughout. Not a 4 star hotel - max 2.5. I booked a single room and ended up on the 4th floor, no air con. My friend on the 2nd floor had air con. I had paid more. I was brought a filthy, noisy, fan to use. The room stank of cigarette smoke and the carpets were rank. At breakfast there was no member of staff at the entrance (I appreciate this can happen) so I walked in. Five minutes later a waiter approached me with a payment machine and said 'how would you like to pay?' I had prepaid breakfast so this was incredibly rude. I should have been asked for my room number. Staff at the bar are very slow to serve guests but helpful once they do. There is an assumption at this hotel that guests will smash up the room and not pay for things. The manager actually said as much to me when I checked in. I would not recommend this hotel despite the sea location and pool.
