Lovely hotel close to the beach

We had a lovely 4 night stay. Staff were very friendly, polite and knowledgeable of the area. Situated near the beach, it was about 2 min walk to the beach and another 5 mins to the pier. We used the pool and facilities which were nice and clean. Breakfast was lovely and staff quick and attentive to clear dishes away.

It’s functional and ok

I was here for one night in a single room in the lodge. The room was on the top floor at the front of the lodge. The bathroom facilities are tiny, but functional. The door to the room let in a lot of light from the hallway, meaning I had to place a towel at the bottom of the door to be able to sleep. Air con was great though, with a nice quiet setting for night time. I used the pool first thing, which was busy with other early risers but beware! It’s about 20 degrees c! In the end I used the showers in the changing room because it looked cleaner than the room, albeit a push tap so took ages to rinse. I had a meal the night before, it was nice but a very hearty portion of pasta with roasted tomato and burrata: I couldn’t finish it Parking was questionable - some of the spaces are very narrow; thankfully an event was loading up when I got there and they helped me reverse into a space - without them I think I would have struggled. Definitely not a place for a mini break, but for work, it’ll do.

Satisfactory stay

The staff and location were the highlights of our stay but the Connaught Lodge is tired and needs refurbishment. Bed was clean and comfortable but the furniture is drab and the bathroom cramped. Good quality toiletries provided. Had issue with key card and getting into my room which was not resolved so glad only stayed one night. They advertise free parking but only if you book direct and the price matching offer on their website was not available when calling hotel so better to use booking agent as hotel is not worth the advertised rate on the hotel’s own website. Would not return as disappointed with Bournemouth as a town which has rapidly gone downhill since my last visit about three years ago. Not a safe place to walk around now.
