Hotel Celebrity Bournemouth East Cliff by Villare Hotels

Reception and breakfast staff were excellent. Our family room (Ken dodd) was very big and comfortable. We also enjoyed the english breakfast each morning and loved the convenient location close to major attractions. 3 star celebrity theme hotel is a little bit outdated but maintained very nicely, clean, and will definitely recommend and visit again.

Honestly, the location is fine - it's within walking distance to the Bournemouth town centre and also to the beach - you cannot ask for a better location in the area IMO! The problem is.... the other things in the hotel. First of all, this was the second stop of my 16 days trip in the UK and I went all the way from London to Bournemouth to Milton Keynes to Nottingham to Chester to Cambridge etc. etc. etc., but this was the only hotel which charges customers for a parking fee! Well you could say 10GBP a day wasn't much but I would prefer they kinda of blend this cost into the hotel cost - I didn't have to pay fees for hotels in city centre areas like Nottingham, Cambridge etc so it's hard to accept parking fee is needed. The room was just so-and-so... Shower water was extremely slow and the furnitures are very old. Besides, one of the worst thing is the noise level - in both nights of staying there were party / into-the-latenight celebration or something from the hotel bar area which was a real nuisance! I didn't expect this from a quiet area in Bournemouth! Breakfast was okay though - about the only thing I like about this hotel I guess..... Anyway, if you are going to Bournemouth, I believe you can get better options - not to mention this was the most expensive hotel in my whole trip, even though it's probabaly the worst.

It is really expensive for the service and amenities. Room not clean, if you are allergic to dust avoid this hotel. The walls are really thin, you are able to hear every single conversation of the other guests, we could not sleep for 2 nights in a row.

Our triple room had frosted windows, looking onto a carpark with broken blinds that let light from the street lights in. Brown water ran out from the bath taps and I was woken at 4am by the dustmen emptying the bins outside of my room. Just awful.

Good room but a few things were missed on cleaning! Everything else was fine.

I really enjoyed my stay here and I loved my room more I really do appreciate the management for the efforts put together in decorating the room with a particular celebrity, it brings sweet memories of my childhood watching those celebrities. The room was also very warm since we are almost in winter and the shower was very hot, I enjoyed every bath I had. This will be my regular hotel in Bournemouth henceforth. I already booked again while I was still here and to crown it all, there was a Bible kept by my bedside, first time I ever saw this in a Hotel in England.. Thank you for having me.. I didn't mention that it's very affordable too...

Near the sea, staff are friendly and a nice bar opens 24 hrs, good condition for this price

Fantastic hotel quirky clean and friendly. Staff happy to help when we asked for an extra fan the room was very warm.

Lovely experience! I stayed here for one night. The staff were so nice. I got the Patrick Swayze room - very happy with that. The hotel has clearly been upgrading - the stairs were beautiful. My room itself was a bit dated, but I understand that they are in the process of doing them up. The bed though was very comfortable, and the price I paid very reasonable. Would definitely book again! It would be nice to see some British celebrities featured - maybe Gregg Wallace or Judi Dench. Leading to my room it was mostly American actors, and I didn't see any home grown talent. I would definitely stay here again.
