Clean Room, Tidy hotel,Well maintained,Pleasant staff and a good breakfast buffet Off road parking (Multi car Garage),close to restaurants. Not too handy for the beach unless you like walking but not our reason for staying. Easy access to surrounding areas by car. (97594467)

Paul from Slough, GB (Mature couple) 20 February 2008

We weren't aware that the hotel didn't have a restaurant serving evening meals, which could have been a problem on our first night's stay, being Valentines day. However, we found a good selection of restaurants nearby, and had a very romantic meal in a superb Thai restaurant. (97433512)

positive comments Friendly staff, good accommodation for a very reasonable price, and closeness to town centre & amenities.
negative comments No restaurant for evening meal

We were extremely pleased with the overall stay at the Hotel Ramada Encore and would be happy to return on any future visits to Bournemouth. the whole Staff, Cleaners etc. helped to make our stay so enjoyable!! (97311347)

positive comments The view was excellent and the room was modern, clean and the bed very comfortable. The staff were all very helpful yet not intrusive.
negative comments Just amall observations. somehow the air conditioning had been left programmed to come on at 12.02 midnight which created some hilarity as I struggled to get to grips with the technology surrounding the operation of the unit.The instructions were there but if the guests are not used to such technology then it could be rather confusing and to some I suppose ,Irritating. However in our case it provided us with yet another amusing annecdote to our travel history. The background 'music' was occasionally intrusive but not too bad. Buffet breakfast on one morning was on the warm rather than hot side.

Did not realise the different classifications within the Ramada Group so initially surprised by the minimilistic nature of the room. However, I have to say for a weekend break it was ideal and represented value for money. The Hotel is ideally situated for the Town Centre and also the beach area whilst being sufficiently quiet. The staff were friendly, courteous and concerned to make us feel welcome. The bar was useful for light snacks and drinks. (97981733)

positive comments Basic but clean, tidy and comfortable
negative comments Did not like the wet room. Prefer standard shower cubicle etc. Water gets everywhere

Karen from Taplow Berkshire, GB (Solo business traveller) 16 October 2007

No real dinner facilities - just snacks available but plenty of restaurants nearby. Good modern design and trendy - liked the minimal feel, but good facilities for business travelers. Friendly and efficient staff. Situated in a quieter area - not right in the centre of Bournemouth. (97900169)

positive comments Recently refurbished - stylish, great wet room, good design
negative comments Air con a bit noisy at times

Wendy from Orpington, GB (Mature couple) 04 July 2007

Had not realised that there was no restaurant for evening meals. Would not have normally been a problem but was slightly inconvenient as the weather was awful and we had to go out again in the evening for dinner. One of the downlighters in wetroom was not working on arrival but had been replaced by the time we came back in the evening. Overall very satisfied. (99893647)

positive comments Very clean,large and modern room. Loved the wet room, no soaking wet bathroom floors from inadequate shower curtains.

My mother has limited mobility the hotel facilities were found to be excellent however, there is a hill going down into town which is fine until the end of the day returning to the hotel uphill was a little difficult with a wheeelchair nothing to do with the hotel as such but certainly something to bear in mind for others with mobility problems.

Excellent location, close to both the railway station and the seafront. The hotel felt a little 'sterile' when entered but the staff are nice, the room (no. 318) was a good size and has a very modern feel. The bathroom/wetroom was also great. (99389514)

positive comments Clean lined, modern rooms/decor - great wetroom too!

My brief overnight stay at the Ramada hotel in Bournemouth was a very enjoyable one. I was greeted by the hotel staff with a very big smile and they dealt with my reservation request in a very speedy, professional and warming manner. The hotel had a very high level of cleanliness and my room was in perfect working order, and was decorated in a very warm, contemporary style that I feel would suit almost any couple wishing to stay here. I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone and will definitely be staying here again very soon. (99556778)

positive comments I liked everthing about the accommodation, it was clean, warm feeling, the staff where friendly and the breakfast was great.
