Pros and cons
The communal parts of the hotel are spotless, and welcoming, and staff were lovely too. Unfortunately the family room we were given was in a very tired part of the hotel, and was too warm, had a mouldy smell and the beds had seen better days. We had to sleep with the windows open and awoke to the smell of a long time dead seagull outside the room. Not great, but family members had a sea view room which was modern and comfortable, and A/C, so we were maybe unlucky. Breakfast was great, and the location is fab for the beach.

The hotel had beautiful gardens and a lovely outdoor pool. The inside pool was lovely and warm but there was some maintenance. Sauna and hot tub not working. Our family room was clean and very large but unfortunately the shower didn't work, which was very disappointing.

We didnt like the amount of people descending on the hotel on Saturday we wanted a nice relaxing afternoon around the pool. Wel you could not get anywhere near a sunbed for the place was took over by a load of dancing we love dancing but not when it goes on for hours we were very disappointed we have been coming to this hotel for years but we will not be coming again if someone would have said on Saturday the hotel will be taken over by a load of dancers then it would have been our choice to book the hotel

A decent value hotel only a few mins walk from central bournmouth. Its all a bit run down however and the bar is terrible (drinks left for hours on tables and no juice available whatsoever!). Otherwise, staff try hard to be helpful and its is a welcoming place.

Liked: Room comfort
Suite was dated and in need of redecoration, but with 2 balconies boasted outstanding views. Air con didn't pump out cold air, and even on full fan speed did little to move the air around. Breakfast was delivered to the room and was excellent, other than the fact that this premium hotel no longer serves champagne by the glass! Luckily I added an addendum to the breakfast request that under no circumstances should prosecco be substituted for champagne.

Two night getaway
The view was fab. All the staff were very friendly nothing to much trouble. Food & service good. We parked out on the road which work well for us. The only issue in room was the water pressure for shower, bath etc they tried to rectify but no success. We enjoyed our two night staff. The Hotel could do with a bit of tlc.

All the staff were pleasant and as helpful as hotel policies would allow them to be. We checked in after 6pm and had issues with the bathroom straight away (the stopper in the bath was stuck closed, the cold water pressure was non-existent making showers impossible unles you had asbestos skin, and the toilet did not flush properly). These items were reported immediately, but we had to wait until the following day dor maintenance to come look. Additionally, the in rook facilities lacked a fridge. When we asked for one we were informed there would be a £15 charge to provide the fridge. I was able to get the fridge charge waived at checkout after mentioning the issues with the rooms. Another problem with this hotel, is that their pool is only open from 9:30am to 6pm daily. This is a hotel in a seaside resort town, who would stay at the hotel pool when you have one of the U.K.'s best beaches a 2 minute walk away? We aere hoping to make use of the piol in the evenings after dinner but this was not possible, had we known this in advance, we would NOT have booked this hotel!!!

Great location, friendly staff
I stayed at the Carlton with my 9 year old daughter. We had a lovely time. As others have said, parts of it are a bit tired and some of the communal areas (particularly the outside terraces) were a bit grubby. But we found our room very clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. To quote my daughter "the breakfast was awesome". The location was great, right on the beach, and a short walk to Bournemouth pier. I would stay here again.

Beautiful Hotel with stunning views
We had such a wonderful time, our seaview rooms were beautiful, lovely location right on the beach, lovely indoor and outdoor pools, plenty of sunbeds, lots of seating areas, very friendly staff, so helpful with my disabled dad, really loved this hotel, our bed was so comfortable, plenty of tea and coffee in the room, i dont think i would pay for breakfast again, went at 9am and not much left, you had so much choice on buffet menu but no eggs,hashbrowns, hot pastries, shame because hotel was nearly perfect, thanks for a great stay apart from that, would 100% recommend
