Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Ibis Styles Bournemouth is appreciated for its spacious and clean rooms, some even featuring a convenient kitchenette. Many guests find the modern and attractive decor appealing, along with the comfortable sitting area near reception. While some have mentioned the pool garden could use some maintenance, the hotel's location near East Cliff and a short walk to the beach, approximately 5 minutes, is a definite plus, making it a good value choice for exploring Bournemouth.

mixed experience at the hotel

large bedbroken liftlow water pressure

the bed was large and very comfy.

The lift didn't work, and it was difficult lifting luggage to the top floor. there was to be an issue with the water pressure in the shower. The higher up the floor levels you go, the lower the shower pressure becomes. at one point, i did not have any water in the shower unit.

I enjoyed how close the hotel was to local shops. Restaurants and cafes were easy to reach. it was SO convenient for visiting the pier and enjoying local beach attractions. The staff were friendly. They helped me with all questions.

there WAS a little confusion about the parking upon arrival. i was told to pay online, but it resulted in a higher charge than expected. it was a bit frustrating.

The room was clean and spacious. i found the interior design quite appealing. the location was convenient. It was only a short walk to the beach. there were also plenty of clean towels available.

The lift was small and felt a bit shaky. the breakfast selection was lacking in quality and variety. i found cobwebs behind the towel rail in the room. It was not great.
