Gary United Kingdom

Amanda United Kingdom

They were happy to serve breakfast early to suit me. Much appreciated.

John United Kingdom

We had a lovely three night stay in The Kingsley Hotel. Sue immediately made us feel very welcome. It was my 30th birthday and Sue left a bottle of prosecco and some flowers in the room which was so very lovely. The location of the hotel is great; less than 10 minutes to Boscombe beach. Breakfast was delicious and my 1 year old daughter was accommodated very well with a highchair and offered her own meal. The room was very clean and perfect in terms of space for three of us. We ate at three local restaurants, all within a 10 minute drive, and these served very good food. I would thoroughly recommend staying at the Kingsley hotel, especially if you have a family. Sue's hospitality and friendly nature definitely made our stay that extra bit special. Would love to come and stay here again next summer!

Chloe United Kingdom

Excellent, friendly service. Sue even washed and dried all my clothes for free and had them back to me in a couple of hours!

Anonymous South Korea

Lovely welcome by the owner when we arrived after a long trip. Hotel was in a good location and was perfect for what we needed. Hotel itself, like many others is a little “dated” but the owner really made a difference with how the room was set up with towels displayed etc. Very clean. Great breakfast and was great meeting her 😀

Paul United Kingdom

Sue couldn't do enough for you. A very enjoyable stopover. Breakfast was lovely. Will definitely stay there again 10/10!

Gillian United Kingdom

Perfect hosts really helpful and friendly would recommend to anyone and will definitely be staying here again

  • Dear Ms. Sue, It'll be my first time in Bournemouth, (going to work as live-in carer the next day after my stay). How much would a taxi cost (approx.) from your lovely place to BH1 3DS? I wouldn't mind walking, but I have a big suitecase and it is probably going to rain. :-) Thank you Katalin

    Hello Katalin. I think the taxi fare should be between £5 -£6. I can check for you in the morning to be exact. Kind regards Sue Baker. The Kingsley Hotel
