Commodore Hotel Bournemouth by Greene King Inns

We stayed in a family room (7) and chose it for the fact it has 2 separate sleeping areas divided by a curtain so plenty of space for everyone to get a good nights sleep. Each room has a tv. There’s an ensuite and also a separate WC. The decor in the main bedroom very pretty but the other room need a bit of paint to bring it up to the same and it also could have done with a fan. Bathroom spacious with a bath so ideal for kids. Dinner menu was ok. We arrived late and they accommodated us but not a lot of choices in adult menu. Children’s menu was good and healthy. Break fast was excellent - I had salmon and scrambled egg on sourdough and everyone else had a hearty fry up. Coffee good too from the coffee machine. Location is excellent at the top of the cliffs to a sandy beach but a bit out of Bournemouth town. It suited us well. We lived all the dogs frequenting this dog friendly pub. Overall an excellent stay. Although the rooms do need a little paint touch up here and there but expected as reflected in the price.

A nice friendly hotel with a good menu - AND it's close to a Wonderful beach.

Breakfasts poor only had one and decided to eat breakfast in local café which was good better value

Good stay, helpful staff but sometimes the food is not as good as comparable eateries on quality and price... still I would recommend as stayed here quite a few times

Very limited parking. Inside the rooms were tired and could do with an update. Meals were a good standard. All Staff were very friendly and attentive. Overall we had a pleasant stay.

Good restaurant, friendly staff

Unfortunately, we had a poor experience. The first thing noticed was that part of the hotel name was missing from the front of the hotel which we realised was indicative of the overall thoughts whilst staying there. The lift had no lights when using it so you had to remember where the floor numbers were before you entered it. The food in the restaurant was not of good standard, the steak ordered was medium and arrived 'more' than well done, the chicken caesar salad had just four small pieces of chicken. The room was tidy but soap dispensers in the room and bathroom were empty. The toilet failed to flush on several occasions the switch for the bathroom extractor fan was out of reach for average height visitors as at 6'2'' it could barely be reached it over the bathroom door. A shame because the location of the hotel is very good and it had the potential for being a good stay. .

Good location but there does seem to be some staffing issue at the moment re cooking and service

Great stay for the price

The hotel is well situated and the room suited my needs but was very tired and in need of a spruce up. Walls very scuffed, shower curtain had brown stain all along bottom, and door chain didn’t work. Lots of little things which don’t do the hard working and very nice staff justice.
