Had a very enjoyable one night stay to see a concert. It was convenient walk from the station and easy to get to the sea front. I am quite familiar with Bournemouth and this hotel was very good value. The room was spacious and the bathroom seemed quite new and fresh.

After staying I a few other hotels in the area I found this one to be the best all round I think. The rooms are modern and well decorated it’s convenient for the town centre but quiet too. I would stay again.

Not good
After booking through booking. Com we paid in full. The next day we got a message from the hotel stating we need to pay £10parking for 1 night .this was not declared by our booking.i rang the hotel and they told me that if a booked direct its free!!!
The customer is being mugged after settling the payment the day after . This is bad muggy practice. Then asked to take £50 against damage,the carpet in the room was already badly stained and the walls marked.
This was our 3rd stay ,not again while this is way we are treated.

Comfy clean bedroom with a big bathroom
Great location as we were going to a gig at The Old Fire Station. Comfortable and clean room. Large fully equipped bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Fluffy white towels. Couldn't figure out the heating. We didn't raise this issue with the management as we were going out. We left the bathroom door open and the hot radiator there heated up both rooms. Good coffee making facilities.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 night stay at the orchid hotel, room was nice and clean, the staff were lovely, breakfast was lovely, the only thing I would say is that the evening menu could do with changing each evening or having more choice of mains. Overall a lovely stay
