Feedback about Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently highlight the hotel's fantastic location, a short walk from the beach and close to the town centre and Bournemouth Pier, making it easy to enjoy the area's attractions. The spacious, well-decorated rooms often come with modern light-colored furnishings, and some offer great sea views.

Fantastic stay!

clean suite comfortable bed delicious breakfast

I had a junior king suite with a sofa bed and sea view. The room was clean, and the bed felt very comfortable. I saw the ocean from the bed. Breakfast was delicious, with a great variety of choices.

I paid a fee to park at the hotel. It was £12. I expected this fee to be included in the room rate.

tasteful decoration spacious room numerous choices convenient location

The room had tasteful decoration and was spacious. The breakfast buffet had numerous choices, all fresh and delicious. I discovered the restaurant and bar served meals superior to the Ivy. Hotel proximity to the beach, town center, and family made it a convenient location.

The car park had limited spaces. I was advised car registration was registered with reception. I then received parking fines, but the hotel confirmed they would investigate.
