Elstead Hotel

Good location (for station), helpful staff, great facilities

Good: food, friendly staff, clean. I would recommend an executive room, as our basic room was small but adequate. The hotel needs a facelift, then it could easily be 4 star.

Perfect for what we needed, a little tired around the edges, but decent well equipped room and fab buffet breakfast. Thought the pool was a tad cold for a hotel ‘floaty’ pool, but we enjoyed it all the same. Easy walking distance to either Bournemouth or Boscombe and plenty of parking. Friendly helpful staff.

Handy for bus into Bournemouth and BIC

I had the most wonderful stay. The hotel is a bit outdated, but that is part of it's charm. Very clean rooms! Restaurant spotless. Staff very friendly. Sue at reception a gem. Housekeeping ladies seem to love their job and the hotel which is beautiful. They take great care and pride in what they do. The breakfast was wonderful. Good quality products and the manager provides a high quality and standard of service. Used the bar late at night and very friendly guy served me. He provided help choosing drinks and knew his stuff. The man who checked me in was very professional and gave me a map of the area and taxi number. The only negative comment I have was the shower had absolutely no power, it was a struggle. But could revert to bath so it wasn't all gloom. Also should add that I got a complimentary late check out. I will return.
