Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Ibis Styles Bournemouth boasts a modern and recently refurbished interior, particularly downstairs with its Starbucks and boho touches. Guests appreciate the good-sized rooms, some even upgraded to family rooms featuring a fridge, microwave and cutleries, along with comfortable beds; though a few guests have mentioned the rooms can get warm. Its location is also a plus, with the town centre within walking distance, offering convenient access to shops and the beach - just be mindful of the steps down the cliff. Some found the breakfast selection disappointing.

high prices unexpected parking

The parking fee was unexpected. It was supposed to be free on site, but i had to pay £20. the swimming pool and restaurant were not available, only breakfast was. prices at the bar seemed high. a beer, gin and tonic, wine, and coke cost £30. instant coffee in paper cups with crisps and cake was £10 the next evening.

Great Location and Comfy Stay

convenient location spacious room helpful staff

The hotel location is convenient. It's a short walk to the east cliff, the pier, and the town center. Our Super Room was spacious and included all necessary amenities. The staff provided assistance when required, and I appreciated their politeness. The swimming pool was warm and enjoyable for a relaxing swim after a long day (I really needed it!).

I found the air conditioning in the room took a long time to cool the space. This was a minor inconvenience, but it did affect my initial comfort upon arrival. I hope they can address this to ensure faster cooling .
