Very good location, easy bus to the centre but also you have very nice less crowded beach just about 5 min walk. Quiet location, local shop about 3 min walk.
We didn’t had a view 😅 But I guess you are not coming there to sit in the room.
Also very nice and friendly staff!!!
We had a very pleasant stay at the Heathlands Hotel in Bournemouth and would happily recommend it. The location is great, making it easy to explore the area.
The staff were very friendly and professional throughout our stay. When we checked out, we asked if we could leave our luggage so we could continue exploring Bournemouth, and they kindly agreed — which was incredibly helpful and much appreciated.
Breakfast was delicious and a great way to start the day.
Overall, a lovely stay with excellent service. We would definitely return.

Was greeted by a lovely lady at reception who explained how our key fob worked. Lovely room with everything we needed. Location is close to beach and town. With free parking on site I was able to leave my car there with peace of mind. Only issue is we dropped a pair of socks down the side of the bed, on retrieving the sock it was caked in thick dust. But this will not stop me from staying again if we visit again.
High hopes but very disappointing stay.
On initial check in , the young lady was very helpful and took our bags as we were too early to check in.
When we returned several hours later to complete check in, the receptionist did not look at us at all when talking to us, which made it difficult to understand or hear what she was saying. We were then told that we had to pay £100 deposit- which we were not advised of prior to booking.
Her general attitude was surly and we felt an inconvenience.
We went to use the spa, and were greeted by an equally miserable lady who also made us feel like an inconvenience.
The spa area was very wet and slippery and felt unloved. The changing area looked tired and needed a Good clean.
Breakfast - on our first day we were greeted by a lovely chap called Kian, which felt like a welcomed change to the rest of our encounters with staff. The general the experience was a shambles. Lots of food had run out. We requested an omelette from the chef and were told No. There were no veggie sausages available. Coffee machine kept running out and only gave half a cup full. The food did not appear to be of good quality and was often dry from sitting under the lights and was not hot.
There were very few staff around and there was too much for them to deal with
Our room was fine, the view over looked another building but you could see the sea in the distance
Our twin beds were creaky and noisy
The shower over the bath was pretty useless and kept slipping in the holder
There was not enough tea/ coffee for us both to have the same drink and there was only one pack of complimentary biscuits , which were cheap custard creams. We requested some decaf tea at reception and were given one each.
All in all, the hotel is situated in a good location but we wouldn’t rush back. We hoped it would be a treat but you can get better service at the premier inn or Hampton,so it doesn’t warrant paying more for.
A lovely pub/hotel in a central location in Poole. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, sorting out an issue with my booking easily. No complaints and looking forward to staying here again
Stayed here in March 2026 with my family.
Overall below average experience.
There was only one passengers lift which was out of service and service lift was very small for a stroller and everyone staying on higher floors were struggling.
Outdoor pool was closed due to season but heated pool was also not functional.
Staff was not rude but they were not Marriott level, most of the requests were declined without any work arounds.
I booked a sew view room and it was very compact, other things were manageable but toilet seat was not. It had very less space that you couldn’t sit properly to poop :)
Breakfast options were good.
Based on my experience I didn’t feel it like Marriott and I would not be able to recommend this to anyone.

ผผู้เข้าพักWas all clean and very good ans would defo go there agian it did the job for 1 day and I was happy with the accommodation only thing that can be improved is there was no charger wholes I had to have a plug
88285SueHDouble sea view room with balcony. Spacious bedroom with nice seating area. Clean and in good decorative order. Comfy bed, quality linen. Wonderful, original metal-framed window and French door opening out onto huge balcony. Unfortunately, the sea view tuned out to be when looking left from the end of the balcony and not from the actual bedroom. Kettle needed descaling. Bathroom well appointed, nice towels and quality Elemis toiletries, but would benefit from a really thorough deep clean and a lick of paint.
Absolutely fabulous public rooms, not ‘dated’, as some reviews suggest, but furniture and fixtures appropriately in keeping with the style and period of the building. Wonderful!
Beautiful outdoor pool area and indoor spa. Lots of outdoor seating areas. Extensive woodland to the rear of the hotel. Just a few minutes walk to Knoll Beach, through the hotel’s extensive grounds (which includes tennis courts and a golf course) just over the road. Absolutely no information provided about any of these brilliant amenities, or indeed anything at all, in our bedroom. Also, no information about Wi-Fi, no information about breakfast times, no information about how to even contact Reception on the telephone provided in the room …
The food at the evening meal was exceptional but was let down by the very slow service as staff focused on setting tables for the following day’s breakfast - which turned out to be so disappointing that it was hard to believe that both meals had originated from the same kitchen.
ผผู้เข้าพักStunning hotel, great location. Everything was fantastic. Small thing is room 109 has a small frosted window with no view. When opening it opens to a dirty mucky roof. We did not leave it open as vermin might enter the room. We also mentioned it was a 40th bday but no extras not even a note.
ผผู้เข้าพักHotel is a bit tired and beds were uncomfortable. However good location for a couple of nights and good to have access to the pools. Probably wouldn’t stay again just because of the uncomfortable beds and not good for a bad back.
JJahangir JaneWe stayed here as a couple and had a mixed experience. The hotel has its charms, but also a few drawbacks.
Rooms & Amenities:
The rooms were quite small and felt congested, including the toilet where the commode placement was very cramped. The amenities provided were basic — just soap and a combined hair and body wash. Surprisingly, there was no handwash, no refrigerator, and no hair dryer in the room. On the plus side, the room was clean, and we had no issues with hygiene.
Staff & Service:
The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the stay more pleasant.
Facilities & Atmosphere:
The swimming pool was lovely, and the view from the poolside was amazing, directly overlooking the sea. The lounge area shared the same beautiful view — a great spot to relax in the evening. There was even a small jewelry corner inside the hotel, so beware — you might end up buying a ring or necklace if your partner starts browsing!
Other Notes:
The lift was possibly the oldest I've ever used — it really felt like stepping back into the 90s, which in a way added some quirky character to the place.
Food:
The full English breakfast was genuinely very good — one of the highlights of our stay.
Overall Value:
The pricing was reasonable, but for better value, it would be great if they included essentials like a refrigerator, handwash, and hair dryer in the rooms.
