It started of bad with a family room with 12C and clearly not been cleaned for some time as we were of season.
The receptionist took action and gave us two new rooms spite having paid only for one.
Great breakfast.
The hotel rooms in general should be pimped…its time for some renewal ;)

Great reception, staff very friendly. Room well appointed and clean. Great value.. Restaurant was a bit strange in the evening. No Starters available, and had to send the main back as cold, but the waiter couldn't have been more helpful. Breakfast was great through.

We had to move rooms at midnight due to no power in sockets and got a poor room instead and no discount offered at
Staff were really friendly and worked hard to ensure we had a comfortable stay. It’s a nice hotel, and while hotels in Bournemouth do struggle with upkeep, it’s clear the Orchid really try. It was a little chilly, but they did provide a heater and the important parts such as the clean sheets, big fresh towels and a clean modern bathroom were all immaculate.
Breakfast was good and having a nice bar on site to relax was a great addition!

Parking was a breeze. Lovely hotel. Looking forward to our next stay
The room was grubby and the beds were uncomfortable. Mouldy bathtub, bad cleaning job all round, stains on lampshades, floor and chairs. The child’s bed was not possible to sleep in as it was all springs poking through. Needed a duvet to make it suitable. Dinner was, surprisingly, outstanding and waiter in restaurant saved the day.

Being kept up all night by walkroom door.
Average stay. Apart from being in a room next to a walkway door thats slams everytime someone walks through which constantly kept waking me up every few hours and at times was so loud it can feel like someone is entering my room.
Lovely location and hotel! Clean throughout and friendly and helpful staff.
The only down side I would say is the mattress was a bit on the solid side for my partner and I. Apart from that, it was a perfect place to stay!
Website stated water bottles provided, so didnt bring water. I asked where the water was and got told we dont do that. Lift "out of order" saw staff using though. Air con broken dirty stained carpets far from happy
Very nice hotel, very friendly staff and clean comfortable room

Cob webs on the walls. Small room with the air con not working. 3 of us one being a baby squeezed into a tiny room no offer of a crib as it wouldn’t fit. Lift not working. No offer of assistance with luggage and push chair. £15 for parking even though it’s their car park.
Young girl working resturant and bar was polite and the location is 5 minutes from beach. I’d never stay here again.
