Let's start with advice, don't put your coat or scarf on until you ENTER the room or you won't feel the benefit!!!! Overall adequate hotel, but I am writing this after having to abandon my room at 5am on one of this winters coldest nights as it is simply too cold to sleep. NO heating is on and it is now 6am, the windows are 1940's missen hut steel ones that don't shut properly and that isn't helping. Never in my life have I ever had to don clothing and march to reception in the early hours to beg for heating and complain, to add insult to injury the main corridor by the lift is like the Caribbean in comparison and despite using the additional blanket I found in the wardrobe I am now considering dragging that out and kipping out there for warmth. Roll on 8am so I can leave and get the heating on in the car. Consider only if its less than £30 AND you're desperate, if its winter bring your own electric heater you apparently WILL need it.

Stayed here for a weekend break with my husband and it was well worth it. The hotel is great value for money and the hotel is in a great location for Bournemouth town centre and Bournemouth beaches and seafront. The staff are very friendly and helpful with nothing too much trouble. The rooms are clean and well presented with lovely hot showers. The food is outstanding .... Fresh, well presented and a good choice on the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Would definately recommend this hotel for a weekend away and we will be returning back here in the summer. Thanks to all the staff at the Best Western Hotel Royale in Bournemouth for a lovely weekend !

We travel to particpate in national sports competitions around England and have been using travel lodge in the last year because we are on very tight budget with no sponsorship. Read mixed reviews from tripadvisor, decided to take a risk and booked this hotel as Premier Inn and travel lodge was more expensive this time and we were participating in a national sports competition in Bournemouth and its so important to get a good sleep the night before the competition.
We had the family room 301, although small compare to some other hotels family room the bunk beds were much better than pull out sofa beds in the Travel lodges. Everyone had a good night sleep, the room was very clean and we hoped this is usual standard but we did email ahead to inform the hotel we have an Asthma sufferer in our group so must be dust free. Previously in another hotel in Sheffield dust in room had triggered off an asthma attack and we needed to seek medical attention so we always check now.
The bathroom was very clean, had enough toiletries layed out for all four of us. The water pressure and dripping tap in bath was the only let down, we still managed to get a shower ok.
There was some traffic noise as our room faced the main road, but as its a quiet weekend in January we weren't disturbed.
The breakfast was good, had enough varieties of cereals and yoghurts for a high energy breakfast but the hot food wasn't all there at the same time, so we had half of what was on offered and saw them bring out the other items just when we had finished. The toaster was a novelty and the younger kids loved it watching the toast going through and it meant fresh hot toast, I love it fresh straight off the toaster. We didn't bother with dinner as it was very expensive, but the hotel is within walking distance to some reasonable priced resturants towards the sea front.
We arrived too late to use the swimming pool, so didnt get a chance to see the facilities, which was a shame.
We didn't mind paying the £2 for parking as its going towards charity but if it wasn't then on principal hotel parking should be free.
We would stay there again if we go back to Bournemouth for another competition, the receptionist was very friendly and she wished us all good luck as there was another sports team staying there for a different tournement.

Myself and my boyfriend wanted a reasonably priced weekend away and Bournemouth and The Hotel Royale turned out to be the perfect break from London city life. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the food was great (especially the puddings) and the location was perfect. During the weekend we went for a long walk along the coast, visited the local shops and cinema and took a drive to The New Forest. The hotel staff recommended places to go and gave us maps of how to get there.
We had a great weekend and can't recommend the hotel and area enough.
