“Need a better gym”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

I try and stay in hotels with gyms and pools to give me something to do of an evening when I'm away working. The gym in this hotel was poor. I small room with no natural light, cramped, with broken equipment. It was so poor that after my first use I went running along the front instead. A much better option.
The meeting room we used was much better, nice and light, with tea and buscuits in constant supply. I also had a lovely big room on the corner. I enjoyed the stay but expected more of a gym with the place calling itself a spa.

Thank you for taking the time to write a comment about the Hotel.

I am disappointed that the gym was not as expected, the swimming pool area and spa is in the lower level of the Hotel and unfortunately it is impossible for us to provide natural light. But we do try to recompense this with good lighting a flat screen TV and many mirrors.

I am pleased you enjoyed your run on the beach; the Hotel is ideally positioned for your benefit here.

And similarly I am delighted you liked the meeting room, which I suppose you could justify the constant supply of biscuits after your cardiovascular endeavours.

Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss this further.

“Great Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012
4
people found this review helpful

Room upgraded from single to double at no extra charge. Pleasant check-in experience, however I wasn't advised by reception that due to the low number of guests breakfast was to finish early in the morning. There was apparently a notice on the end of the reception desk that wasn't pointed out to me. So when I came down the following morning, I thought I was slightly late as the the cereals had been cleared away. However, a very helpful waiter had a word with the chef & arranged for me to have the breakfast I would have had anyway.

When I questioned this at reception after, I was told no one had complained and there was a notice on reception ,when I said this wasn't pointed out to me she said "well you got breakfast didn't you."

The hotel has a great location about 5 minutes from the beach. Ideal for last minute getaway.Clean rooms and good value stay when booked through Booking.com. at below the rack rate.

Room Tip: Ask for a quiet room

“Good value & great location.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed at the Queens Hotel & spa for three nights from the 05/01/12 on a B&B basis & found the place much as expected. Our room (209) was spacious & clean & we felt was above average for a 3* hotel.

We ate all you can eat self service breakfasts in the Hotels' spacious restaurant which surpassed our expectations for choice.

A large 2 coach party arrived on the 06/01/12 but in no way altered our enjoyment of the Hotel or its' facilities.

We used the swimming pool & small jacuzzi just the once during our stay & whilst the pool was as expected the whole poolroom was dripping with condensation which no doubt is causing some mould growth on the rooms' coving & ceiling.

The Hotels' location was perfect for us - just a 5 minute wander to East Cliff overlooking the beautiful sandy beach & maybe 10 /15 minutes stroll into Bournemouth town centre.

Thank you for taking the time to write a comment about the Hotel.

I am delighted that you enjoyed your visit to the Hotel, and particularly the excellent breakfast we provide.

The swimming pool area experienced an increase in condensation which can be attributed to the severe cold weather, exacerbating the moisture levels. I am pleased to say the swimming pool area is now operating at ideal levels with the swimming pool water temperature 1 degree lower than the air temperature, thus minimising humidity and resulting in a pleasant environment.

Thank you for your comments about the Hotel’s location – it is perfect for many people!

Thank you for taking the time to write a comment about the Hotel.

It is a pleasure to read your kind words. I am delighted that you enjoyed your visit to the Hotel. The swimming pool is 57 ½ metres square which is plenty large enough to swim lengths.

We do have corporate or now as we call them superior bedrooms, they are good quality and thank you for recommending them.
