Stay in the heart of Bournemouth – Great location - show map

One of our bestsellers in Bournemouth! Opened on Queen Victoria's coronation day in June 1838, the Royal Bath Hotel & Spa Bournemouth was the first hotel in Bournemouth. It offers 3 hotel restaurants, a health spa and lovely sea views.

Just moments from the seafront, this classically styled hotel has well-equipped rooms, each including a satellite TV and free internet. Some rooms also offer views of the secluded grounds and across the bay.

Royal Bath's restaurant uses seasonal, local produce whenever possible. Drinks, sandwiches and afternoon cream teas are served in the relaxed Lounge.

For their dining experience, guests can choose from the views at the Garden Restaurant, light meals at the Cafe Promenade or fine dining at Oscar’s, named after regular hotel guest Oscar Wilde.

The Leisure Pavillion allows guests to relax in an indoor pool, hot tub or sauna. There is also a gym and a range of health and beauty treatments available. Access to the spa and leisure facilities is subject to a surcharge.

This is our guests' favourite part of Bournemouth, according to independent reviews.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.5 for a two-person trip.

Only criticism was there was a fairly long wait for check in and the room was also quite dark as it faced into the building and my view was just concrete slabs and piping. Lastly the check out time is 10am, which is definitely earlier than i'm used to! but I'm not really complaining as it was very good value for money still!

parking is public council costing £10 a day,only takes change unless you do it online or £20 for off site valet parking a day. Very out dated rooms in need of immense upgrading beds are rock hard decor tired furniture old and shabby carpets poor condition. Lack of sound proofing too Bathrooms lacking in basic supplies extremely small towels ( not bath towels ) shower screen too small water went everywhere over floor. many guests complaining and had to be moved to other rooms one had water dripping through ceiling. this is an amazing old hotel but really needs total refurb of bedrooms and bathrooms heating consisted of warm air vents (loud) so unable to control. Lighting in rooms was non existent
Massive hotel plenty of areas to relax great location staff happily moved us to another room after first awful night

As it is an old hotel, it was like a rabbit warren. Loads of lifts going to various floors and parts of the hotel. The room directions weren't very clear. We had difficulty in locating our room, We were just about to give up when we spotted the correct lift to use.
The staff were very helpful. Service was excellent. It was central to the attractions. 10 minutes walk to the BIC. We had a bar meal as the restaurants were not open when we needed a meal. Choice was limited but very good and freshly cooked.

Room was extremely warm and I wasn’t able to adjust the heating, it was pretty unbearable too be honest. As I was only staying one night I didn’t report it. Hotel is a grand place but it really does need some TLC and updating. Also I don’t see the need to charge people extra for requesting an early checkin
Location is superb and close to beach and town centre
