No breakfast available despite being listed as such.

Previous reviews mention staff but there were none.

Room was fairly clean and comfortable.

Entry via key code which means the same code for the main door and the room door - has someone unlock my room when I was in it. Not very safe and very poor for the money.

Would not recommend.

The photos on the web site are deceiving it might look good but in reality the decor is very poor. It needs a freshen up the whole place looks really tired. No staff on site only the maintenance man who was very helpful. Would not recommend.

A very warm welcome and a lovely room. Bed was comfy and the hotel was quiet for a good night's sleep. A short walk to the beach and pier, and also not too far to the town centre. My only negative was the bathroom is tiny. I would definitely consider staying here again.

Surround area needs attention - clear up and cleaning. Internally the theme and colour schemes are great but the rooms are tired and need some TLC. The breakfast and breakfast room are excellent, however there has been a reduction in the amount of chocolates provided in the room and at reception compared to our previous visit.

Lovely stay

Perfect location for what I wanted to be able to do. Room was ‘cosy’ smallish but I was travelling alone so not an issue. Price was reasonable and took that into account so not a complaint just an observation. Parking not as difficult as I expected (midweek). Very warm welcome and I felt everything had been thought of in advance.

Very helpful staff and very helpful with breakfast options , eg gluten free, vegetarian, etc. Indian next door, Thai round the corner and pub dinning on corner, Italian across the road, french in the Marriott past the Thai, all very handy, plus town centre down hill, not far. Room cosy and clean, onsite parking available. We will be happy to return here

Beautiful place to stay by the sea

We had a wonderful stay, a welcoming arrival and any queries we had were dealt with both before our stay and during our stay. There is limited parking at the hotel and involves a bit of tetris parking, however I cannot see how this could be resolved given the location and size of the hotel. The Chocolate Box was one of a few hotels that included some on site parking, there is a paid car park near by as well , you just need to be prepared in advance of the possibility of not getting parked on site .
The bed was extremely comfortable and room was nicely furnished. I didn't notice any noise from outside or other guests either.
It was an easy walk to the sea front and town centre. I'd definitely consider staying here again.

EXCELLENT SHORT STAY

Very comfortable bed & room. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had ground floor room and were very happy that we didn’t have stairs to climb. Breakfast was excellent, very well cooked and served hot. Only criticism I could make if I had to make one is, no bar and no possibility of snack or sandwich during the day or evening which would have made it 5* in my view. Manuela on reception was brilliant.

Such a lovely hotel

The hotel is at a great location. Just a few minutes to the beach and a few minutes to the center indeed. The owner of the hotel is such a lovely lady who bakes irresistible fabulous croissants and tasty breakfast dishes. The room was so clean and they put chocolates and various tea/coffee/hot chocolate options in the room. If I go to Bournemouth again, I will definitely stay this cozy and lovely hotel.

Very friendly and well located hotel.

Very nice stay, extremely quiet room and a lovely breakfast.
The only slight negative was the very small en suite bathroom but we selected the room because it overlooked the garden and was amazingly quiet for being in the centre of Bournemouth.

Lack of off road parking

Hotel was generally good inside, parking was a complete shambles, 8 spaces for 14 rooms is not off road parking for each room. We got into the car park 1 day out of 3, having guaranteed parking was the reason we stayed here. False advertising!!

I didn’t feel I was in a hotel, I felt I was a guest in a lovely house with my family. The staff are amazing and smily all the time and were very helpful. The room was quiet and big and the chocolate was a nice gesture.wifi was strong. If I go to Bournemouth again I definitely will book the chocolate box hotel.

Chocolate Box of Sweet Surprise

What a lovely little B&B. We were greeted with a pleasant aroma of Chocolate as we entered and the a very very warm welcome from the owner. Easy check in and simple instructions regarding access.
Room was well proportioned and well equipped and comfortable.
Highly recommend this B&B if you are visiting Bournemouth.
Sadly we didn’t sample the breakfast but if the smell was anything to go by then we certainly missed out. Will definitely stay here again.

An experience

The Chocolate Box Hotel is fun. Very well-positioned for the West Cliff facilities and with some of its own parking, it's a venue with a lovely atmosphere. The staff are kind and very funny, keen that everything should be just right for you. Breakfast was good (mine vegetarian) and I was glad I didn't over-indulge on the free chocolate on offer. I would happily stay again.

Short Stay

Service I can not fault the staff were amazing, friendly always on hand and with a smile. The gentleman who was around during breakfast was incredibly funny and so friendly every morning and was the highlight of our stay, I hope he gets recognised! Cost for the hotel was a little bit too high in all honesty, but happy to pay that for the service, only aspect that stopped me from putting a 5* review was the quality of the room, it was clean and always refilled every day with tea, coffee and chocolate however some minor works needed and a little TLC.

Tight but might (book again)

We liked the Chocolate box very much but the only thing that spoilt it was the TINY en-suite. We are larger than average people and found it very tight. I think the owners have tried to put a pint into a half pint glass. The staff were very friendly and jovial. We would stay again if we could secure a room with bigger shower room facilities. Thanks to Flo and the rest of the staff.

Lovely place to stay

Booked this lovely little hotel quite last minute, to have an overnight break with a friend. We booked a twin room. When we arrived the car park was fairly small, but space for everyone. The room was really well designed, nicely decorated and had everything we needed. Lots of thoughtful extras for example bowls of chocolate’s at reception, and truffles in our room.

Breakfast the next morning was really lovely. Such friendly staff, and literally couldn’t fault anything.

I would 100% stay here again if I find myself in Bournemouth.

Lovely welcoming staff and pretty decor of the hotel.The top floor room was pretty and a very comfy bed. The downside was a fan that was next to useless , a shower that was scaled up and didn’t function properly and a room door that constantly banged whenever a rare breeze or another hotel door was opened.
There were no toiletries in the bathroom and had to phone the hotel to get some as no staff seen at reception.
I know air con is cost prohibitive but surely Dyson type air coolers would be reliable and good all year round .
A pleasant night despite the constructive moans Thankyou

Will definitely be back, great stay

Great hotel, amazing value, king size bed although I’m sure it was a super king. Very spacious room with sofa. Lovely design, very clean, fluffy towels too. Although bathroom was on small size the shower was very large. Very welcoming and friendly staff and easy check in. Breaky was included in price and was a good spread and very tasty. Excellent value in one of the few modern and contemporary hotels in Bournemouth, just a few mins from the beach and 10 mins from the pier, and with free parking.
If I had to be critical it’s that the car park was small and spaces were narrow. After returning from an evening out, I couldn’t get the swing on the car and had to leave it on the street over night. That said, there was technically a space for all occupants and it was safe overnight, I moved it in the morning after breakfast.
Will definitely be back!
