“The Cumberland Hotel strikes me as a place with genuine personality, its 1930s Art Deco design setting it apart on the Bournemouth seafront. I appreciate the variety of dining options available, and the access to spa facilities across the sister hotels expands the leisure possibilities. While some may find aspects of the decor a bit dated, the friendly staff and prime location still make it a very appealing option.”

the carpets in the hallway was disgusting. it looked like they haven't been cleaned in ages and had stains all over. also, the shower pressure was a joke, barely a trickle came out.
