Lovely stay at the Orchid on my first visit to Bournemouth; friendly and helpful staff, spotlessly clean and great breakfast - wish I had booked more than one night.
Will definitely be back, and for a longer stay :)

Good Hotel.
Only stayed 1 night so hard to make real observations. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast buffet style including the hot breakfast. Only disappointing point was they do not do cocktails in the bar. But would say for a small hotel in a town that has alot of accommodations it is good & would go back.

Great hotel with service minded staff
Great hotel between Bournemouth city center and the beach, with friendly and service minded staff. The food in the restaurant is brilliant and the chef goes out of his way to make great food for his guests, provided he has the ingredients. Note that some rooms had defunct AC at the time of our visit. And if the hotel is the venue for a wedding party on a Saturday, the kitchen and bar is overly busy and there will be some noise in the rooms upstairs.

My husband purchased an afternoon tea , so we also booked a room for the night . So pleased we did , my daughter and myself had a lovely memorable time away . The gentleman who served us tea went out of his way to ensure we had everything and was very professional, friendly and efficient. He also served us breakfast remembering our names and room number . Would highly recommend to family and friends

A relaxing Saturday night stay.
Great service, comfortable room. Slightly worn decor and hallway somewhat noisy but this didn’t really affect our stay and was balanced out by how helpful and attentive the staff were.

After staying I a few other hotels in the area I found this one to be the best all round I think. The rooms are modern and well decorated it’s convenient for the town centre but quiet too. I would stay again.
