Breakfast- we did not have breakfast because of our commitments But we did have a family party at the Commodore, food excellent, quickly arrived all together, service excellent Room- excellent large room with double aspect and views to die for. We have used the pub several times in the past excellent, but not stayed before

A fabulous view, because the weather was less than friendly we liked to look at the view but with only one chair for one of use to sit on the bed was not the most comfortable for us elder visitors, another chair would have made it perfect, there is room for one.

professional staff, fantastic view, great room very clean & tidy but a little tired, just needs a little TLC, and a professional paint job on the window sills and skirting boards. Fantastic food 😋. Lift was small and a little worrying!! Definitely a good 8/10. Recommended.

Lift was supposed to be for four people, no chance!! I am a big boy rugby player, the size of two, just about got me in on my own. Definitely not wheelchair accessible. Room doors need to be slammed, very noisy at all times of the night and day. Need to invest in soft close doors and a bit of TLC on the paintwork in the rooms.

We had room 8. Large room with twin beds, tea & coffee in the room. Bed very comfortable. Good sized bathroom, with hand wash & shower gel provided. Room was clean but paintwork in need of new paint. Beautiful view of the sea from one of the windows in the room, other window overlooked the nearby street.Restaurant & bar downstairs, serving decent pub food. Very small car park, there is off street free parking but check the signs for when you are allowed to park. Hotel & outside very quiet overnight but woken by squeaky floorboards from other rooms early in the morning. Quaint tiny lift, this was right by our room, thought the pinging sound it made would disturb us but only heard it in the morning when already awake.

Soundproofing not great. Duvet too hot.

You cannot beat the location of The Commodore and many rooms have sea views. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the bedding and towels are always lovely and clean, the breakfast has something for everyone and the cooked breakfast was delicious. We had our evening dinners during our stay there too, which new were very pleased with as well.

It’s not really a dislike, more of a comment on what we noticed whilst at the hotel, and that is the inside looks tired and needs some TLC along with the fixing of the sign for The Commodore on the outside

The location is ideal for the sandy beach & surrounding areas although we stayed mainly to visit relatives for a family event! The double room had everything we needed a sea view comfy bed shower over bath ( best of both worlds ) large TV screen and good selection of tea/coffee so altogether a very good value room! The breakfast was excellent and plenty of it- I had the veggie cooked option and husband had traditional cooked breakfast along with a good choice of continental buffet with plenty of choice The food menu in the pub below looked good but we didnt try it ( if anything like the breakfast will be very good!) But we did have a nice cold pint each! Handy parking onsite Staff friendly and prompt service with a smile - we will definitely be going back in the future for sure! :)

Nothing not to like :)

Great selection of breakfast items both from the menu and the continental buffet. Location was perfect literally just a 2min walk down the ramps to the perfect beach. Bed was comfy and the restaurant downstairs did the usual pub grub stuff. The TV in the room had actual access to free streaming channels which is a genuine first for us!

I won't hold it against the staff or the hotel but being on the front there is sometimes a lot of traffic and noise, late night patrons from the bar and the occasional gang of loud youths hanging about near the beach often blasting loud music gone midnight. Also basically no parking so be prepared to drive in circles until you find a spot that might be a good few minutes walk away with your luggage!

Clean, comfortable. Good staff and management generally. We had stayed before a few years ago and it was better than previously.

Couple of blips on food front. Asked for paprika to be omitted from prawn cocktail but it wasn't. One night saw a man on a table near me eating a lovely juicy steak, nice and medium rare. So I ordered one the second night, medium rare, only for it to come very well done, a bit burnt and shrivelled and nothing like his. Very disappointing. Did tell the manager, who apologised, but no discount forthcoming. Despite the trend of sourdough bread, I do not like it, so we went for breakfast elsewhere.

Great location, fab views. Comfy beds. Tasty breakfast, cooked to order.

There are a few areas that require a bit of filler & a paint touch up. Also some privacy film on the bathroom window would allow natural light instead of the blind being down all of the time as it’s overlooked. These are small jobs that would make a better impression. Not something that hinders a good stay though!

All staff friendly and professional, including kitchen staff and housekeepers Hotel in fantastic location to beach Our room had sea views from both windows. Lovely Sunday roast and superb breakfast during our 3 night stay Southbourne high street within walking distance from hotel. Lots of restaurants, coffee shops and bars. Also charity shops to browse in Regular bus routes to Bournemouth centre and Poole quays

Hotel decor is tired and in need of a revamp however this didn’t detract from a very enjoyable stay

Location was great, across the road from the beach. Great sweeping views of the sea. Lovely breakfast, gave me my own small heater for the nights, wonderful large soaker tub, tons of hot water. Ample tea pot and selections of teas and coffees in the room. Enjoyed their Pub atmosphere, staff were acceptionally caring and competent. Excellent value for money. I will stay there again.

Liked everything, even the small elevator.
