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.

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.

Disappointing stay...

Somewhat disappointing experience. I booked an "executive" room, which was not in any way executive. The desk was tiny already and almost ½ the space that was available was taken up by the kettle and tea/coffee etc. There was no fridge to keep water cool. The lack of fridge meant tea and coffee was made with the UHT cartons that you'd get in a budget motel rather than a supposedly upmarket boutique hotel. The bathroom was tiny. Using the toilet was a challenge as you were competing for space with the toilet roll holder. There was a small (appx. 50cm x 8cm) shelf above the toilet but no other storage in the bathroom for toiletries. The shelf in question was literally held up with a bit of folded tissue wedged in at the front. The tap was a "waterfall" design with a rather slow flow and required running for anything up to 2 minutes on cold if you'd recently used the hot tap before anything resembling cold water came out. The shower was spacious enough and plenty of hot water available. The room was clean, and the bed comfortable. However, the curtains didn't draw anywhere close to completely, and the multiple shutters did a poor job of keeping the light out. Fortunately, I had declined the pricey (£20) breakfast. Had I opted for it, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy it as it isn't served until 08.30. Wifi connection was reliable but very slow - around 4Mbps download and less than 1Mbps upload.

Cheltenham has a wet room!

This was our 3rd stay, but this time we were abit disappointed. The bedroom was lovely but the bathroom was a wet room. Everything got wet after a shower. the next person went in the floor and toilet seat was wet. The breakfast was really good and free parking. I will look forward to my next stay but will ask not to have the Cheltenham.

On arrival at Derby Manor with my 11 year old son, we were informed that the hotel does not accept persons under the age of 18. I questioned - and the receptionist/manager, Teresa had difficulty herself in finding on their website - where it states this unusual rule. We were told that we WOULD be able to stay in their sister facility, Langtry Manor, nearby and, following Teresa’s phone call to summon the recently departed receptionist, we proceeded to this property, where on arrival, but after a considerable wait for the returning receptionist to attend to another couple who arrived ahead of us - we were given our room and hotel front-door keys, then shown to our room where, as we were in a hurry to attend a football match, we simply placed all of our overnight belongings (medication included), and left the property. On our return to Langtry Manor around 10.30 pm, having bought some hot food to eat in our room, we could not gain entry due to our having been given a wrong key to the now locked front-door! No amount of phoning or door-knocking brought us any assistance and we were forced to seek alternative accommodation. Admittedly, on return the following morning to explain things and collect our belongings, we were treated more professionally by the new day receptionist who arranged for the refund of our accommodation fees. However, despite assurance that the managing director would contact me to make amends - am still waiting.
