I booked this hotel during a business trip in Bournemouth, I usually stay at the Marriott Bournemouth but this time I thought I'd try the De Vere Royal Bath. Having stayed in other De Vere hotels in the past my expectations were high. This has to be the worst De Vere I have ever stayed in! The service was terrible.... more

Arrived at this hotel thinking we we in for a luxury stay for our 2 night break. After getting past the nicely decorated reception area it was downhill from then on. The lounge area smelled of raw sewage (a notice to guests was eventually put on display apologising for this - drain problems) the furniture in the public areas was... more

We stayed here from July 30th -August 2nd in the Meyrick Suite which is room 267. we have previously stayed at the Durley Dene, Metro Palace Court ( now the Premier Inn ) and the Norfolk Royale.

Very kind friends of ours treated us to a night stay in the hotel as a wedding gift! The hotel was grand and beautiful with delicious and great quality food in the Oscars restaurant. Our room had a large balcony and a stunning sea view, where we sat and drank our champagne. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and... more

We stayed for a two day break in mid May, with the view to getting away from the stress of work, and had a great time. From check-in onwards we found all the staff to be helpful and friendly, nothing seemed to much trouble for them. Yes the room was tired but the view was wonderful and the rate was... more

Food was great and the service a massive improvement on past experiences. Hotel still in need of investment... more
