Fabulous hotel & beautiful room, great location not far from sea front. .staff were friendly & helpful. Throughly enjoyed our stay & recommend hotel to anyone coming to Bournemouth.
One amazing hotel from arrived to check out time. Very nice breakfast amazing rooms and a very friendly atmosphere. My thank you everyone at the hotel.
Wonderful little get away. The Hotel was gorgeous, beautifully decorated old victorian building with high ceilings and large windows. Only a short walk to town or to the beach.
Very friendly and polite staff from checking in until we left. Easy parking, the room was lovely, comfy bed and a tasty breakfast. If anything it was too warm for me but we turned off the radiator and opened the windows which very easily solved that. Overall we loved this hotel and would definitely stay here again.
Disappointed to find I wasnāt on the list for breakfast. Had to return with an email proving I was entitled. They blamed hotels.com. Room was a little below standard in places. Shower tray had several large chips, some had been painted over. Needs replacing. Blind was missing from bedroom window, clearly broken and not replaced. Wash basins were a bit well worn, signs of repair. Top of door fame missing into bathroom. Overall a nice stay but top money requires the room to be perfect. Especially when remedial work is required
The breakfast food was of poor quality,terrible scrambled egg. The water in the urn did not boil, so we had to ask the waitress to boil a kettle in the kitchen, the bread was cheap
we would think, you need to supply better quality food.
The good news is the receptionist was most helpful and the bedroom was spacious.
We had a great stay at the Derby Manor - the hotel staff were very welcoming and helpful. Our room was lovely, clean and comfortable. With a 15/20 minute walk to the pier/beach/town the hotel was great for our short stay in Bournemouth. The free parking was a real bonus too. We'll definitely be back next time we want to stay in Bournemouth!
I chose this hotel on the way to Bournemouth but wish I had picked a different one.
Now when I say that I dont mean to put the hotel down or give a bad review.
The hotel is fine, its not run down, is quite smart and was very comfy.
The staff were good for the one night I was there for.
HOWEVER, my one gripe with the hotel is that breakfast starts at 8am in the morning. The time wasn't listed in the description and I wish it had been as I wouldnt have chosen to stay.
I was on a work trip and my work day starts at 8am, if I had been on holiday this time would have been fine, but I wasnt and I had to forgo my breakfast, which in mind cost me £28, for nothing.
So, if youre working away I'd most definitely give this hotel a miss.
