The Royal Exeter hotel
Nice hotel with an adjoining sushi bar. Sadly, we were not allowed to eat in the restaurant, as there were only two groups. The chef bought our breakfast to our room. It was delicious, but I’d have preferred it at a table. The staff were all friendly and the place was lovely.

Another perfect stay
Absolutely lovely in every way. I go to the Royal Exeter once a month and I feel as if I am returning home each time: from the lovely personal welcome from the reception staff, the comfort of the bed and the linen quality (far superior to some higher rated hotels locally) and the fab breakfast. The super secure parking is another bonus. Can’t wait to be back!

We slept well!
We were visiting BIC so the location is perfect. We were wary about getting any sleep once we read some reviews but can genuinely say the music didnt affect either of us at all (one on 2nd floor and one on third). Maybe it wasnt a busy night, maybe we are heavy sleepers, either way we had a good nights sleep. Reception and the main 1812 bar were very nice, there's a secure car park, and all the staff were very friendly and efficient. Breakfast was very good (full English). I would certainly return.

Ideal location and good value
Ideal place to stay in Bournemouth for the sea front, conference centre, and theatre at a very fair price. Car park is not huge, so get there early to get a spot.

Disappointing
The single room was spacious but was very cold. The windows were old and draughty. The heating went off in the night!

Lovely stay.
Lovely stay in Dorset Suite with 4 poster bed. Big and comfortable, but floor dips and is very creaky. The bathroom had a jacuzzi bath which was great but bathroom a bit worn. Breakfast great and hotel receptionist was lovely. Just be aware that music may go on until 4am.

Weekend away
The staff were amazing, the room was comfy and very clean and had everything you needed even though a bit old fashioned. At the weekend there was entertainment on the premises so be prepared for a little noise. Great stay. Thank you.

4/10 Fair

While I am doing reservation I asked them for possible upgrade according to availability however their answer as below; Good evening, Your booking is for a single room with a single bed. You can update your room from expedia portal with extra cost. If you are that strict as an hotelier you should refund the fee that I have paid you last night cause of heating issue in your propert in room number 210 ! I have asked your colleague who works at evening shift around 6-7 PM he told me that he will sort out. When I came back lately I asked your another colleague he assist me kindly and provide me a Mini radiator which I assumed room will be hot enough with 2 radiator (other one I found in the room) Even your staff was shocked like how it might be cold that much ! At the end room never get hot enough it was around 10-15 C and when I woke up in the morning my voice was like a monster. Ladies should have heard it at the reception early morning. Thanks for the take away sandvic you have provided. Thank you Regards

Perfectly located hotel in Bournemouth.
A lovely, well situated hotel with very friendly staff with a well stocked bar at a reasonable price. Breakfast was very tasty and plenty of it. We had an issue with a wall heater not working and within 5 minutes of phoning reception a replacement heater was sent up. We were there for a Friday & Saturday night so there was live music followed by a DJ both nights. As we were on the top floor we could just about hear the beat but it wasn’t loud enough to disturb us. If I’m back in Bournemouth for another concert than I’ll definitely be looking to stay at this hotel again. Please note that they charge £8 per night for car parking though.
