Visiting the Christchurch Food and Wine festival and pretty much decided last minute to stay overnight - found Urban Beach online with one room left at a reasonable price so booked it quick!! Didnt really know what to expect but we were wowed by the whole place. Its a boutique hotel but with a really informal feel based around all... More

We stay in a lot of hotels all over the world and always are looking for a few things: A big comfy bed, great bathroom and a boutique feel as opposed to the awful corporate giants that pass for 4 and 5 star simply because they have a pool a gym and plenty of lifts! This hotel had all of... More

My partner and I stayed at The Urban Beach Hotel for one night further to a friend's recommendation. We were really impressed with the hotel, on booking I could see from the website what room we would be in - and I was particularly impressed with was the Manager being quite honest when I called her and advising that it...

Stayed for one night with my wife and four children. It’s a great hotel in a good location and only a short walk from Boscombe beach. When you arrive it looks like a surfers/beach bar and this theme is carried on internally and very tastefully…… it’s a place that you immediately feel chilled and relaxed in and this is helped...

I first visited Urban Beach 7 years ago and have returned several time since. The experience is always comfortable, friendly, professional and yet personal. Mark and his team all demonstrate tat great customer care separates the good from the brilliant. Breakfast is superb but it's the cocktails that I'll be going back for. Well, those and the boutiquey, classy rooms.

The food and drink was fantastic and the service from staff, manager and the owner was 1st rate. The rooms were really clean and tidy and finished in a tasteful style. If you visit this hotel, you'll... More

Stayed here overnight on a business trip. Friendly staff, very nice room, very good breakfast (albeit not the "best in the world" as the sign outside claims), Will admit that the first impression was not great - it's not located in the nicest-looking street, and when I was there, the terrace was undergoing construction. Once inside, however, this was immediately... More

We stayed for one night at The Urban Beach and really pleased with everything. Warm welcome from the staff on arrival to the buzzing bar/restaurant. Our room was lovely with a really nice and clean bathroom. We had dinner there also which was lovely too. The restaurant is quirky with a rustic feel. Definitely recommend this place and definitely would... More

Stayed here for a weekend to see Mickey Flanagan (also excellent) and was delighted with the hotel. The bar is really good, great atmosphere and lively, serving excellent brasserie / gastro pub type food. Breakfasts are generous and great quality. All the staff are friendly and helpful. There is a nice outside area, which was being refurbished while we were... More
