Very friendly and polite staff from checking in until we left. Easy parking, the room was lovely, comfy bed and a tasty breakfast. If anything it was too warm for me but we turned off the radiator and opened the windows which very easily solved that. Overall we loved this hotel and would definitely stay here again.

Disappointed to find I wasn’t on the list for breakfast. Had to return with an email proving I was entitled. They blamed hotels.com. Room was a little below standard in places. Shower tray had several large chips, some had been painted over. Needs replacing. Blind was missing from bedroom window, clearly broken and not replaced. Wash basins were a bit well worn, signs of repair. Top of door fame missing into bathroom. Overall a nice stay but top money requires the room to be perfect. Especially when remedial work is required

The breakfast food was of poor quality,terrible scrambled egg. The water in the urn did not boil, so we had to ask the waitress to boil a kettle in the kitchen, the bread was cheap we would think, you need to supply better quality food. The good news is the receptionist was most helpful and the bedroom was spacious.

Fantastic Short Stay

We had a great stay at the Derby Manor - the hotel staff were very welcoming and helpful. Our room was lovely, clean and comfortable. With a 15/20 minute walk to the pier/beach/town the hotel was great for our short stay in Bournemouth. The free parking was a real bonus too. We'll definitely be back next time we want to stay in Bournemouth!

Breakfast starts at 8am? What?

I chose this hotel on the way to Bournemouth but wish I had picked a different one. Now when I say that I dont mean to put the hotel down or give a bad review. The hotel is fine, its not run down, is quite smart and was very comfy. The staff were good for the one night I was there for. HOWEVER, my one gripe with the hotel is that breakfast starts at 8am in the morning. The time wasn't listed in the description and I wish it had been as I wouldnt have chosen to stay. I was on a work trip and my work day starts at 8am, if I had been on holiday this time would have been fine, but I wasnt and I had to forgo my breakfast, which in mind cost me £28, for nothing. So, if youre working away I'd most definitely give this hotel a miss.

The staff was very nice. Loved the breakfast. We asked for an executive double room with a king size bed. We did not get this. The bed was extremely hard and had a difficult time getting comfortable.

Weekend Break

We stayed in the Grand National room which was amazing. Breakfast was included in the price of the room and you had a choice of cooked or continental or both so plenty of choice.

My room was lovely and the staff lovely. For myself there was no table in the room that I could use to do my work on, ended up using the suitcase stand. Also had to wait about 10 - 15 minutes for someone to come to reception , I had pressed the button many times but she only heard the last time I pressed it. Just maybe a better system.

Room was noisy and one could hear the room next door which was quite annoying. Bedroom was not cleaned and bedding not changed during our entire stay. Staff are great but they need to tidy the rooms more often.
