The Boscombe Spa Hotel is a Fantastic place to stay, ideally situated within short walking distance to the beach and town centre. I have stayed a number of times and it is always very clean. A warm friendly welcome from the hosts who are always willing to help you with your every requirement. It has a contained outdoor seating area ideal for those summer evenings, or for children to run around and enjoy themselves safely. An all round excellent place to stay with plenty of options for breakfast. The hosts make this place what it is, well done to Raj and his wife for their hard work and efforts. 10/10
We felt instantly welcomed. Loved our clean and cosy room, it had everything we needed and bed was very comfortable. Owner was kind and helpful. Great value for money. Thank you so much
Amazing little hotel. Friendliest family running the place. So hospitable and couldn't help you enough. Great little breakfast and really clean rooms. Thank you for having us. Best of luck for the future.
Great hospitality, the staff are absolutely friendly and lovely people. Rooms are clean and tidy. The hotel is close to the beach only 0.4miles. We definitely had a good time, we enjoyed a few Cobra draughts and I think we will come again as it was a very good price/quality experience.
Lovely hotel. The owners are friendly and it has a very homely feeling to it. I stayed with my wife and unless you're the picky type, it's a great place to kip! Thank you for your hospitality!
Rooms are a little dated. Bed was comfy, plenty of tea/coffee. Water could have been a little warmer in shower but the reception was friendly and breakfast acceptable (could be great if mushrooms were fried and higher quality sausages used). Perfectly acceptable for what I needed. (Dropping daughter at uni).
Really lovely 1 night stay for a concert. It was ideal location for the O2 Academy and also ideal location for the beach. The service was fantastic! Raj was a brilliant host, so friendly and helpful. The room was very nice, not the most spectacular but clean and comfortable! All the other reviews about dirt and no heating are rubbish!!
Had a great stay here as the room was clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly, and the location was perfect for exploring the seaside enroute to Bournemouth. A really pleasant experience overall.
Lively area with restored Victorian buildings, gigs at O2 Academy & Vitality Stadium football games.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
