The staff were great. The hotel was spotless with great breakfast. Bed was very comfy

With its seafront setting, the Park Central Hotel offers the perfect location for both business and leisure travellers. The Bournemouth International Centre is adjacent to the hotel, while the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre is just a 2-minute walk away. The unique rooms, each with their own individual and modern feel, offer stylish and luxurious accommodation. Each has a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi and toiletries, while some boast views of the coastline. Alongside the Park Central is the hotel’s Crab at Bournemouth fine dining, seafood restaurant. Here you can enjoy fine cuisine prepared by Michelin star trained chefs. Bournemouth's sandy beaches and coastal restaurants are a few minutes’ walk from Park Central and the town centre is less than 5 minutes away by foot.
