On first artival, the room had a musty odur & was quite small with no air condtioning & the bed seemed to lean to one side on the right, so had to be very careful when climbing into bed.

Known for its sandy beaches and good nightlife, Bournemouth is a popular seaside resort on the Dorset coast between Poole and Christchurch.
The town is centred on the Bourne River, running downhill towards the sea by Bournemouth Pier. This pier looks back towards a promenade lined with beach huts at the foot of grassy cliffs. The promenade continues west to Poole, while a road goes east to neighbouring Boscombe, where anglers often fish from its pier. Overlooking it is a clifftop road housing some Bournemouth hotels with sea views.
Booking.com also offers hotels near the BIC – Bournemouth International Centre in the West Cliff area. This convention centre and music venue is a short walk from the Art Deco Pavilion Theatre, located next to the Lower Gardens. In this popular city park is the Bournemouth Eye, a tethered hot air balloon that offers far-reaching views.
At the park’s top end the river disappears under a large square, then emerges in the Central Gardens. Overlooking these gardens is the Victorian town hall, which used to be one of several spa hotels in Bournemouth. Opposite is a Grade I-listed church, and St Peter’s Church has the grave of Mary Shelley, author of ‘Frankenstein’.
On the outskirts of town, near 4 golf courses and the Castlepoint Shopping Centre, is Bournemouth Airport.
Great beaches for kids, has a little fun fair on the pier.

Most things are within walking distance.
We ate at Harry Ramsdens, fish and chips is a must at the seaside.
Car parking can be a challenge, book a hotel with a carpark.

Me and my fiance went with friends for our sten Do (stag&hen). It was pleasant weather, relatively affordable, good food & entertaining mini golf. We also went to the mini market Sunday morning which we all enjoyed. Would definitely recommend as it was not too busy.

Bournemouth is a very nice town with beautiful sandy beaches. There is plenty of choices for lunch and dinner.
It is a bit out-of-date and looks like its glory days are gone though, as there were many closed shops at the city centre and the feeling was it looked a bit sad and abandoned.

The problem with Bournemouth is it is rather run down there are a lot of homeless people sleeping in doorways i think there were rumours of rats in the park but the bus system is brilliant we did go to swanage and Poole shopping overall I would go to Bournemouth again but would not walk about in the dark
We had a one night stay (should have been 2 but our ferry was cancelled) . Staff were very friendly,,bed was comfy & the breakfast was lovely. Beach was very close & the hotel even kept our cases safe as we weren't flying out until late in the evening. I've seen some reviews about the decor being dated but I felt that it was a real authentic English seaside experience. Will most definitely return & for longer next time.
This hotel is perfectly situated for an easy walk to music events at O2 Academy Bournemouth. The staff were very welcoming and efficient, the hotel was quiet even though many guests were staying there. The breakfast buffet manager was friendly and the food offering was very good with everything well laid out and to a very good standard. Good hot shower and beds were average but fine for a night. Free parking was great.
Absolutely perfect gem of a place !
Breakfast exceeded that of any top hotel and taking into account service and quality would out do any five star hotel . Victorian luxury at its best !.
This hotel is run by a lovely couple with a passion and pride for there job putting customers first .
There are many plans still to come and we will definitely keep our eye on this Bournemouth gem .
Booked for joint birthday celebration and theatre visit so we wanted something near the centre of Bournemouth plus parking, which is very expensive in the town car parks. The room was very warm and comfy, the staff were great and the breakfast was extremely good and plentiful. Easy stroll into town & all that it offers. This hotel was a great little find & I'd definitely book again.
Had a great stay at urban beach great location the room was outstanding bed was so comfortable I've stayed in Bournemouth lots of times in different hotel and this was the best hotel room for the price and just a 10 minute walk to the beach and a 10 minute walk to the town couldn't ask for know more will definitely be coming back to urban beach.
Very friendly and competent staff. Checking in and out was easy and quick. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast buffet was very good. The hotel is in a very good location as it is really very close to the beach and about 30min walking distance from the train station.
good location, they have a nice lounge with entertainment, its proper value for money, especially when you only need the room to sleep in. its the first time ive seen a clean kettle in a hotel. the bathroom floor could be improved but its overall a great stay
Arrived much earlier than planned and we were able to park at the hotel, along with being able to check in early, which was a real bonus. The hotel is small, but ideally placed to explore Bournemouth, close to both the town and the seafront.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable. The hotel is only one street back from the beach and within easy walking distance to Bournemouth town centre and beaches. I would definitely stay there again.
The hotel was well situated very near to Bournemouth beach and pier. There was onsite parking. There was a lovely family sized room with comfortable spacious beds, en-suite. Health and wellness centre with gym, pool and sauna.
The hotel was in easy walking distance of Bournemouth beach, pier and town center. It was also a good price (£105) for a night for two people in August. Also liked it was pet friendly and had it's own car park.
Bournemouth is a terrific location, and the Royal Bath Hotel- the first hotel built to accommodate visitors to the area in 1838- is in a near perfect location, close to the Pier and overlooking the East Cliff
The hotel location was great for the beach or to walk into Bournemouth centre.
The bedroom was spacious and light and in manor with the style of the building.
Tea and coffee facility in room was good.
Ideal for a weekend break. Metres from the beach and all amenities. Room has all the extras you need/want (fridge,kettle etc.). Will use this hotel if/when I ever return to Bournemouth.
Hands down one of the best properties I have stayed. The home felt like a home. It’s cosy decorated to a high standard. Please stay here over any hotel when you visit Bournemouth.
Very clean, budget hotel with comfy beds and hot powerful shower.
The manager & staff are super helpful here - happily rebooked my nights when work in Bournemouth was cancelled.
