Good hotel but a bit loud and a party venue especially on weekends. A bit roudy around the pool with people drinking and being very loud. More on a Mallorca feel to it than Miami. Breakfast items of poor quality especially the full english breakfast. For the price paid one could expect better. Overall average value.

A 5 star stay at a 4 star property. I cannot say enough about the quality of service and the ambience of the Nici Hotel. From the valet parking, check in and restaurant staff, everyone was extremely polite and helpful. Nothing was too much and everyone was professional. The property itself is stunning (especially the pool and dining areas) and our room was the perfect size (get one facing the sea, so worth it). Highly recommend the afternoon tea and continental breakfast (all fresh and delicious). Highly recommended to visitors to Bournemouth and we will definitely be back.

Not quite the luxury expected

The property itself is lovely (although tired in places) and the staff excellent. The outside terrace and pool simply stunning as is the orangery and separate bar / restaurant towards the beach front. What impacts the experience is, as a guest, I wasn’t clear what clientele they were catering for other than just anyone who wanted to be there - families, pet owners, relaxed spa goers, hen doos, baby showers etc. my friend and I were seeking a relaxed weekend away with spa experience, however this was impacted by screaming children not only in the orangery but also both the outdoor pool and indoor spa pool. It felt really chaotic at times. Breakfast was outstanding. The dinner was less so. The rooms were very well decorated and included a lovely touch of including a measure of spiced rum provided in the room for guests to make a cocktail of their choice. However, little things were missing from the rooms such as a bottle opener, and a working hairdryer, iron and ironing board. When I asked for the opener they fetched me one but I could only use it to open the one minibar bottle before giving it back to the awaiting attendant. The bathroom was lovely but the rainfall shower-head was in need of a descale. Plenty of lovely towels provided, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion. Spa treatments were incredible- would recommend. Hot tub and swimming pool was very cold. Overall we enjoyed our trip but would hesitate in returning for another stay.
