"Enjoyed my short break here. The bar area is smart and welcoming and the staff friendly.
Excellent breakfast provision as well.
The actual bedrooms are old-school but decent enough and clean.
The pool is fine but check if there's any planned classes with front desk first.
In a quiet area but not too far from town/Winter Gardens. Would return for my next Bournemouth break."
"The staff were very helpful and worked very hard. Parking can be an issue, with a limited number of spaces. The hotel in places looks tired and is in need of some TLC. The food is very good, but with one draw back. Adding the tip automatically to the bill is not right. It should be discretionary and not added and then asked for it to be taken off. The Spa is very well kept and a nice relaxing environment."
"It’s the second time I’ve stayed at the Crown. Lyndhurst is my home town so staying at this hotel brings back many memories from my childhood. The staff are really attentive. We had a fabulous breakfast. The room was clean and comfortable but looking a little tired but I’m assuming this is because it’s end of season and will have a touch of paint during the winter downtime. I will stay again next time as love the character of the hotel ❤️"
"Good stay, room was nice and the sea view was lovely at sunset. £20 to park for one night and £5 room service delivery charge was a shame. Unsure where it was coming from (sounded nearby) but from 4:30pm - 2:30am there was thumping music. Staff were lovely, bar area is nicely done."
"Amazing hotel with a fun history. It has seen better days of course, some areas a bit cold or looking old. But it is a very impressive building, and I was delighted with my stay. The garden and the terrace at the back are great and when you go up to the terrace it's a nice view to the sea.
It's a good location, and right beside the Russel Coates Museum which is definitely worth a look."
