Downhill since previous visits
The hotel is more run down than it used to be, it appears to be entering administration. They have introduced additional hidden charges such as parking, breakfast now costs more if you try and book it on arrival. The coffee at breakfast is now out of a conference pump machine rather than a cafetière. The night staff lady was very rude and the “master suite” blind doesn’t close so if you sit in the toilet you can make eye contact with the guests parking.

I question why I needed to pay £50 to cover "potential damage" to the room ( we are in our 60s!) which we were told, on checkout, that the money is returned to my account "within 10 days". Sounds like a decent way to hold a lot of money on their account across all their rooms. This practice should be prevented. Paintwork was tired.

Had a very enjoyable one night stay to see a concert. It was convenient walk from the station and easy to get to the sea front. I am quite familiar with Bournemouth and this hotel was very good value. The room was spacious and the bathroom seemed quite new and fresh.

The Orchid Hotel! Fabulous :)
Visited Bournemouth for a stress free weekend & stayed at 'The Orchid Hotel for 1 night. Initially had issues trying to cancel a duplicate booking via Hotel.com & wasn't able to get a refund but Chrsyoula at the hotel authorised the refund with Hotel.com and my stress free break started all from there. The welcome was lovely to receive by a smiley Chrysoula. Hotel is nice/clean/pleasantly decorated. Twin room allocated was small however we were of petite stature so no issues. Staff in general are very helpful and accommodating. My phone charger didn't work & a male night shifter provided one straight away. The staff in general were always attentive to our needs. Chrysoula was very friendly & my cousin & I clicked with her straight away. Chrysoula went up & beyond to make our stay comfortable so a big Thank you! We will definitely visit & stay here again. Breakfast is superb! We so wished we had taken pictures as we both felt it was the best breakfast we have seen presented well in a long time. A lot of the major chains do not offer many choices...pineapple/melon cut thinly & perfectly, the oranges were juicy. Hot breakfast was kept heated by a burner under the trays. The hotel stands a short walking distance to the beach and pier. Those who fancy a walk, B'mouth pier to Boscombe Pier is a nice approx 2mile walk along the beach. Weather was perfect considering its October & you must try Chez Freds fish & chips in Westbourne! Shops walking distance so theres something for all!

Mixed experience
We arrived to a modern, clean hotel, and we were fortunate to get a parking spot for £10 for 24 hours. Saturday’s staff were professional and offered great customer service. Our room was modern and clean, with a comfy single bed for our child, and a spacious bathroom, though maintenance issues were noticeable—a missing basin waste cover and a soap dish that was falling off. A major issue was the bedroom door; a large gap at the bottom allowed light to flood in at night, making it difficult to sleep. My husband ended up using cushions to block the light. Breakfast was average, with awkward serving lids and lukewarm coffee from flasks. On Sunday, we encountered an unhelpful checkout experience. When I mentioned the issue with the door, the staff member was dismissive, and her tone came across as passive-aggressive. She also became snippy when I asked if we could leave our car in the car park while we went into town briefly before departure. Fortunately, my husband remembered we still had plenty of time left on our 24-hour parking, so we were well within our rights to leave the car as we had planned. Everyone can have an off day, but a rude attitude towards guests doesn’t feel acceptable, especially in today’s competitive hotel industry. Overall, Saturday was a positive experience, but Sunday’s service left us disappointed.

Staff friendly and helpful. Good location and parking ample. Comfortable beds ( had a family room) and clean facilities. Overall the stay was pleasant but was let down by certain aspects of the hotel being old and tired. Key cards to our room didn’t work - we tried 3 times for our original room but ended up changing rooms as couldn’t get them to work. New room had a TV that didn’t work and again one of the two key cards failed. We also had issues with the heating which we couldn’t get working but house keeping left us with an electric heater which was fine. The hotel in general could do with a lick of paint to spruce it up a bit (paint work chipped on walls and doors) and the lift was out of order ( slightly tricky for my 82 year old mother ) but we had an enjoyable stay those issues aside.

After staying I a few other hotels in the area I found this one to be the best all round I think. The rooms are modern and well decorated it’s convenient for the town centre but quiet too. I would stay again.

Lovely four night stay
Staff were very friendly and breakfast very good. I would say it was three star though rather than four as advertised. We were on the top floor and the lift didn't work for the duration of our stay. The torrential rain meant there was rain water coming through the vent on the ceiling in the bathroom on to the W.C. and floor.
