The property is very dated and would benefit from refurbishment. One of the biggest issues was the lack of air conditioning, which made the room quite uncomfortable, particularly during warmer weather.

Parking was also problematic. The hotel’s parking is limited and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. We were advised by a member of staff that if we provided our vehicle registration number at reception, parking would be free. However, upon checkout, we were informed there was a £36 parking charge. I disputed this, as this was never mentioned when we checked in. In the end, we were unable to secure a parking space at the hotel anyway and had to park on the road for the duration of our stay.

Breakfast was another disappointment. On one morning, staff informed guests that more people had arrived than anticipated, resulting in several basic breakfast items running out, including bread, eggs, beans and other essentials. While I appreciate that unexpected demand can occur, I would have expected the hotel to be better prepared.

Overall, the stay did not meet expectations, particularly given the issues with parking, breakfast availability and the dated condition of the property.

Pool dirty had to go next door hotel for a swim. Bath had hair in it. No plug had to ask for one to have a bath. Shower had no holder so had to hold it in hands to try to shower and wash hair. Next door room were very noisy. Had to pay for parking and breakfast pricey. Cheaper to eat out. Couldn't make hot drink kettle had rust in it. Curtains didn't close properly so was awaken early with bright sunshine.

Was there for 2 nights. Advertised the pool, got there and there pool was closed. (Luckily we were able to use the pool 2 hotels down).
Checked into the room and the room was leaking water from the bathroom. When I spoke to reception they didn’t really care, they said it’s not a health risk so we don’t need to change rooms. They sent a maintenance worker to the room but the leak was still present. Hotel parking isn’t great and someone also hit my car without leaving a note, not the hotels fault but I believe this was due to the narrow parking.

A very tired hotel, unfortunately it needs a complete refurbishment. The price point is very similar to the Travelodge, that is more modern and comfortable.

The saddest sight is the empty and rather dirty swimming pool.

I am surprised that the owner has realised the real estate value and sold the land for apartments?

1. rooms not ready, had to wait, i was then moved and moved again.
2.towel rail too hot and not fixed, after a member of staff checked it.
3. fire bell went off in my room when i was in the bath. when i tried to contact reception the phone didnt work, luckily it went off by itself.
4. no remote for the TV, never got a replacement.
Good stuff:
1 staff were great to deal with, although things not attended to.
2. food was average.
3.Spa and pool were next door hotel but it was fine and i enjoyed it.
4. massage treatments were great for all 3 of us.
Overall I would say 6/10 but could be better with some attention to details.
I would recommend booking directly with the hotel, rather than Hotels.com or another source.

I consider my stay very successful. The atmosphere and service were extremely pleasant. The rooms were very clean, with daily towel changes, bedding replaced when needed, and regular replenishment of coffee and tea.
The only downside was the constant, very loud noise coming from outside the window — most likely from a fan — which lasted from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and unfortunately made it difficult to fully relax.

Room had a view of the sea, but the window was tiny, and couldn't be seen from the bed. Room was generally clean. However, i did an old used teabag behind the dressing table, when looking for something I dropped down the back. The toilet usually took several attempts to flush, and the bathroom taps had to be turned a considerable amount of times for water to come out, both were slightly annoying. Staff were friendly, during the day at least, drinks were very reasonably priced at the bar. On the whole, fine, but... they appear to have spent a considerable amount of money on decorating the bar/lou ge/reception area, yet have neglected some of the cleanliness and function of the plumbing in the rooms. Slightly disappointing, but fine

Our room was lovely and had a partial sea view but was in a nice quiet area of the hotel. It was small but the perfect size as there was only two of us.

I felt the staff, overall, weren't the best, however when we arrived we were greeted by the receptionist who was very welcoming and explained everything we needed to know in regards to breakfast, car parking, etc. However, a different member of staff charged us double for breakfast (it cost £22.00 and we were charged £44.00) and, when I queried this, they told me that no money had been taken out of my account. I then showed them proof of the money being taken and one member of staff took our breakfast ticket and wouldn't let us have it back. I went to Reception later in the evening and managed to get my breakfast ticket back and, after a long battle, managed to get the extra money back. We experienced a similar situation at checkout as we were issued a bill and, when I took this to Reception, I was asked how I wanted to pay. I then asked what I was being charged for, to which the receptionist looked it up and said \"Don't worry about it\". With that being said, however, the staff were attentive and didn't hesitate to respond to any requests - we asked for a fan at around 22:30 and they brought it up very quickly.

Breakfast in itself was good quality, but the selection was quite limited. They didn't restock any food during breakfast so we had to choose from leftovers and other than toast there were no continental options.

The hotel, like Bournemouth itself, has seen better days. However, the room was very clean and warm, bed comfortable and lots of hot water in the bathroom. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was adequate. The use of the spa for free in the adjoining hotel, a member of the same group, was a real bonus. Good value for money.

Rooms dated, shabby and small. Decor needs refreshing, furniture is old damaged and worn, windows filthy and frames rotten. Bathrooms particularly shabby and hazardous changes in floor levels, and sign warning that if you fail to tuck the shower curtain in properly and water leaks down stair you will be charged for damages. Why is this necessary when the floors are tiled?
Noisy rooms, there seemed to be a number of young people staying in the hotel and a hen party staying in the rooms above us played loud music in their room till after midnight.
The reception staff are pleasant and friendly but in need of training and advice on customer care. Hotel kitchen closed at 8 on Saturday night when menu stated last orders for food were 8:45, and receptionist had previously told us food was served till 9. Insulted to be told that as I couldn’t drive to nearby restaurants, I could walk there in about 20 minutes. As weather was terrible, we ended up eating takeaway pizzas from a box. Not the Saturday night we had planned when we booked a hotel with an Italian restaurant that supposedly stayed open till 9.
Apart from the nice cooked breakfasts, there is little to recommend the Ocean. It’s possible to accept a hotel is old and tired if you have a pleasant stay but staff negligence and poor customer care are not acceptable.

Stayed here as a ‘budget’ option for an unexpected visit, didn’t realise I’d be slapped with a £12 parking fee per night. Was merely told it was on the booking, which it wasn’t. The place is quite in need of some TLC but again, budget. The room itself was okay, clean bed, decent bathroom. But the walls are PAPER THIN, if you find yourself next to some loud night owls, don’t expect to sleep at all. The hotel itself is fine other than parking and a bit tired looking but unfortunately the next door guests made the entire night unbearable, so, poor experience.

My room was on the 3rd floor, but, as the lift was broken, I was moved to Room 7, on the ground floor.
On my last night, there was no electricity at all. Fortunately, I had a torch.
There was no electricity on Sunday morning when I woke up.
At breakfast, the oven was on late, so I missed out on the full English breakfast.
The staff offered me a room on the 4th floor on the Saturday night, which I turned down, as it was on the 4th floor, and the lift wasn’t working.
The staff did provide me with a sandwich and a pot of hot water which I appreciated.

Its not the worst hotel in the world for 3 star but the staff can be tricky, some are ok but some are a nightmare. The food is terrible and very overpriced, service is extremely slow and we actually had upset tummies after eating dinner in the hotel. Thankfully there are other places to eat in the town centre which is a 20 min walk away. Everything felt sticky, tables and chairs. The place needs a really good deep clean. Its located in a decent setting not far from the beach. Twin room was very small and dated but reasonably clean. Plumbing was noisy throughout the night. We didnt sleep well. Paid 170 for two night stay in August which isnt bad. Wish i had soent a bit more on a nicer place though in hindsight.

The plastic empty glasses and cans blew about all day and for hours there were unattended towels on the sun beds which no body delt with. The inclusive evening meal was extremely limited with around 3/4 choices per main . The chicken was over cooked . The roast potatoes had been reheated and frozen veg wasn’t even cooked and still hard . We wanted to extend our stay for a few hours on the day we checked by parking our car on the onsite car park but the main behind reception admitted he didn’t want to help us with free parking even though we were paying guests for the weekend and the proceeded to charge us for a another couple of hours .

I have to say I was so pleasantly surprised, yes the outside is a bit tired but the reception and bar area are lovely, the staff are friendly and helpful and the room was spotlessly clean and comfortable, it had everything we needed, even a fan and heater in the wardrobe for hot/cold weather, beds were really comfortable and it was much quieter than I expected it to be, we had a stunning sea view too, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again

The facilities throughout the entire hotel are extremely run-down. We paid over £300 for a 3-night stay, and both the bedroom and bathroom looked like they hadn’t been updated -or properly cleaned- since the 1950s. It honestly felt like staying at your nan’s house, and not in a charming way. There was also a strong, musty smell that lingered throughout the room, which made the stay even more unpleasant.

Room looked nothing like the photos/room we booked.

Good value but not perfect...

Overall, the Ocean Beach Hotel provides good value for money, except for the high daily parking charge for residents.
The reception, restaurant and house keeping staff we interacted with were all polite, helpful and efficient.
Our room rate included breakfast and dinner. The food was very good generally and especially the fish dishes, although a few dishes had a tad too much garlic and we had a fire breathing chilli con carne one evening.
Use of the facilities in the neighbouring Suncliff and Cumberland hotels is a good point.
We stayed in a room which had been refurbished (it was not clear how long ago). However, the standard of workmanship was very poor with paint splashes on the wallpaper, headboard, mirror, tiles and switches, and most fittings were secured wonkily. These give an impression that the work was done on the cheap.
Finally, the radiators in the third floor corridors were on throughout our stay which made them and the rooms very warm most of the time. Ours had a large desk fan to help cool it.
Our expectations of the hotel were not high but we would probably stay there again given the good value it provides and pleasant staff.

Probably wouldn’t stay again!

We were told on leaving that we had received an upgrade room. The room was on the 4th floor and without air con, it was like staying in a sauna, considering the extreme temperatures experienced during our stay. We also had to pay for onsite parking at £12.00 per night, this did not guarantee a parking space! costing us an additional £36.00. I informed the hotel before arrival that my wife has a gluten-free diet but all that was provided was some gluten free bread! No gluten free cereal was available for breakfast!
