Great welcome by Micheal, room excellent spacious and clean. Nice new FTV if i got bored. Hotel is a grand old building with a nice breakfast room Bar needs a lick of paint but overall a great week. Best way to start the day the Full English wow. End the day in the small bar. The Silver How is handy... More

Used this hotel for one night after going to a wedding. It was perfect for this, allowing one night stays unlike many others. Free parking was very useful. No restrictions on getting in at night once we had key. The room was big, light and airy with comfortable beds, decent pillows & duvet. Bathroom was clean with complementary shampoo, conditioner...

Stayed bank holiday weekend and had a lovely time, breakfast was good with plenty to eat. Tea/coffee facilities in the room with good quality tea/coffee not cheap brands. Room was very spacious. Plenty of places near by to eat and would recommend Ocean Palace food very good. More

I had a large single bedded room for £38.00. Michael is the smiling receptionist, barman and serves (in chef's outfit) the very nicely cooked £6.00 extra breakfast. The hotel is good value for money. The bar is large and pleasant as is the dining room. There is also a television lounge. The place is well kept, decorated and welcoming. My... More

We were greeted with a warm welcome upon our arrival and this continued throuout the whole weekend. When we arrived at the hotel we were unable to park our car, but the manager simply told us to double park and that he would move the car when a space became available, which we found a lovely thing for him to...

My husband and I were down from Cambridge for a wedding so needed just one night. The Silver How, unlike other hotels, allowed us to book just one night. When we arrived, the owner checked us in and was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is charming with little tables outside and balconies off the rooms at the front.... More

I regularly visit Bournemouth and have probably stayed in 40 different hotels over the years, but I have used the Silver How most often. The reasons - good value- decent sized rooms - nice breakfast - wifi that actually works- easy parking- quiet position, in other words a good all round choice that ticks most of the boxes. More

As soon as I opened the door I was met with a stale, musky smell in reception. I always like hotels to be fresh and clean. The parking was good and it was a short walk to the sea. The room was dated and the bathroom definitely needed refurbishment. More

We stayed just the one night. A great location with free parking and just a short walk along the beach to the town centre. The breakfast was good and the service friendly. The room was fairly basic and a bit dated, but comfortable, however we did not like the carpet in the bathroom. There was a strange smell in the... More
