Top Hengistbury Head Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in Hengistbury Head

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good

"I stayed here for 1 night with my husband on my birthday. The staff were excellent, expecially Neil the lifeguard in the pool. Disappointing that the sauna was out of order and the gym very small but Neil arranged for us to go to the Haven the next morning to use their pool, gym, steam room and sauna. We had a lovely room with a super king bed and great sea view. The breakfast was good and the dinner excellent."

Hilton Bournemouth

8/10 Good

"Our stay was very good and comfortable overall. However, I believe the SPA area needs more attention, particularly in terms of safety and cleanliness. Pool Area: The floor around the pool was wet almost all the time and was dangerously slippery. A yellow warning sign had been placed in the area, but there was only one and it was not clearly visible from the entrance. More importantly, warning signs alone are not sufficient. The floor should be mopped and excess/splashed water removed frequently throughout the day to minimize the risk of someone slipping and getting injured. Sauna & Steam Room: The floors in both the sauna and steam room were not sufficiently clean. In particular, the area underneath the benches in the sauna was visibly dirty and gave the impression that it had not been thoroughly cleaned for quite some time. Considering the hygiene standards expected in a SPA facility, I believe more frequent and thorough cleaning is required. Apart from these points, we had a very pleasant and comfortable stay. I am sharing these comments constructively, as some additional attention to the SPA area would significantly improve the overall guest experience."

Bournemouth East Cliff by Belvilla

10/10 Excellent

"I got upgraded to the Carlton next door as it appeared the East Cliff Hotel was having repairs. Very helpful staff. Nice big room. The breakfast was good. A bit noisy in the morning as I could hear the people in the room above constantly walking around."

The Beach House

8/10 Good

"Room was clean upon arrival and cleaned daily which was nice as the shared bathroom floor tended to get dirty quickly. Beds comfortable. Tea and coffee touches were nice. Daily water too. Breakfast had a huge choice for cooked options. Parking available on site which was free."

The Green House

8/10 Good

"Pretty impressed with this hotel and we would use it again. Staff were absolutely lovely and gave us a great welcome. Even offered us fresh milk on arrival for a tea or coffee. We were also informed about a wedding that was happening but this wasn’t an inconvenience. The room was lovely and had everything we needed for one night; although the room was very warm. The only real issue was paying to park and my car was completely covered in bird poo, and I mean covered when we checked out this morning. Not really the fault of the hotel but Parking was limited upon our arrival due to the wedding which was fair enough, however had to squeeze into a space under a tree will avoid next time when we stay. Our daughter is in uni so we will be looking for a regular place. Love the whole eco ethos of the hotel as well."

Forest Park Country Hotel & Inn, Brockenhurst, New Forest

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff, nice hotel, lovely sunny beer garden, a short walk into Brockenhurst and at least half the price of The Pig. Will be back."

Sea Stone Hotel

8/10 Good

"Location"

Laguna Hotel

8/10 Good

"Drop point, taxi. Some time drop us outside near first building near main road, therefore signs to get to reception are no guiding clear, because the area, is big and also at night time arrival can be a challenge."

Holiday Inn Express Poole by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This was only a one night stay but it was great - good room with quiet air conditioning, helpful staff at 11.00 p.m. check-in, and well cooked breakfast with plenty of choice. Can thoroughly recommend this hotel."
