It is a bit of a walk from city centre. The room was acceptable, except that the lights were inadequate for reading. The manager said that was a government requirement for energy savings, but I didn't experience this problem anywhere else. They wouldn't let me check in early but did store my bag until check-in time which was helpful. More

The good stuff - location, other amenities nearby, parking on site. Not so good - having a window that doesn't shut properly for a room on a main road is a problem. Throw in the noise generated by other guests returning to the bar and/or standing singing / shouting outside the front of the hotel till gone 5am doesn't help... More

As I strolled through the reception area, my first thought was that it was perfect. When my stay was over this thought hadn’t changed in the slightest. The hotel exudes a warm pleasant atmosphere and the approachable nature of the staff meant I was always greeted with a bright smile, no matter what time of day. Always willing to help... More

The decor in the rooms during our recent stay was very modern and clean. Cannot fault the room for this. Location is ideal for the beach and shops, all within walking distance.

Then the 'en suite' - what... More

Having stayed in many budget hotels in my time, this is definitely one of the best and worth every penny spent. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and made our stay very... More

Had great weekend in Bournemouth. We stayed at the West Cliff Inn. Well ran establishment with very helpful and friendly staff. Had no complaints. We were looked after. Modern, clean and comfortable rooms. Would definitely recommend staying here! More

I traveled from Pisa to Bournemouth last January to visit friends and they advised me to stay at the West Cliff Inn. I must say it was the best advice I have ever received in my life. The staff at the West Cliff Inn were all very friendly and extremely helpful. I used to get a drink every night before... More

I too had money deducted from my card which I did not know about. To be fair we did cancel our booking after we had made it, however, when we phoned to inform them of this they did not at any stage say there would be any charge. In fact they stated the exact opposite and then charged my card... More
