We stayed here for four nights, it was very comfortable and clean. As an adult only hotel it was also very quiet. We would definitely come back.

Wonderful little get away. The Hotel was gorgeous, beautifully decorated old victorian building with high ceilings and large windows. Only a short walk to town or to the beach.

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!

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

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.

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.

It's a nicely-kept hotel and the staff were friendly and helpful. The decor was original and fun! Only one thing was that some of the water from the shower went onto the floor although it worked fine. Breakfast was good too.

Faultless! Great hotel, stunning building, luxurious rooms & decor throughout. Ever-So friendly staff, ideal location for the O2 (Echo & the Bunnymen, great gig btw).
And to top it off the breakfast was first rate.
I couldn’t recommend this hotel strongly enough. Find out for yourself.

We stayed two nights in the Derby Manor. This small hotel lived up o our expectations, it was very nicely furnished and the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order plus plenty of fruit and pastry options.
It was only a short walk to beach and parking was no issues. For evening meals - it is worth checking out the Bournemouth steakhouse. Good food and service.

Very nice hotel generally peaceful. Some inconsiderate guest shouting in corridors at midnight very very loudly for 30 mins ruined the stay it’s the sign of the times people always put themselves first without any thought for others

The welcome at check-in was nice and friendly, we were shown around the hotel and it's amenities, and showed to our room. The room was gorgeous and clean, lovely and warm and a great size. Shower was powerful and a nice corner bath.
The only thin was the water did not run cold, so had to wash our teeth and drink warm water from the tap
