We stayed at the Carrington House Hotel in May and it is a very tired, poorly maintained establishment. I suspect it is geared toward families on a budget wanting to experience the beach in Bournemouth as many rooms have bunk beds with a king size bed. The wall paper was peeling off the walls, only one lamp in the room... More

If your looking for a scary looking, tired, shabby, badly serviced hotel then carrington house is just for you. The majority of staff are european and badly organized, not to mention their english isn't very good. The room itself had old decor, seriously lacking tender loving care and is in dire need of a revamp. At £110 odd a night,... More

This hotel is badly in need of some investment with tired decor, saggy beds and badly laid carpets. Our shower didn't work and the standard lamp in our room fell apart in the middle of the night waking me with a start - a botched repair had obviously already been attempted. Having said that several of the staff were friendly... More

On the plus side - Breakfast was good but you need to ask for any extras as they don't put everything out on the buffet. They have fresh fruit but you need to ask for it! On the minus side - The hotel is very tired and needs a bit of TLC. The facilities are very shabby and the service... More

We got an awesome deal for 2 nights away with our 2 kids (aged 4 & 2). The Carrington is in a decent location but it is about a 20min walk to town/beach so bus or taxi may be the way forward unless you want to drive. Family room was lush (we were in 356) with supersized double bed, bunk... More

We checked in at 1pm on a Saturday, rooms were ready and we unpacked. The reception staff were a bit offhand but we were all in good spirits so it didn't matter. We took a map of the town and headed out. On our return we decided to take advantage of the hotels dinner offer of children eat free before... More

We stayed here for the last couple of days with our two children (ages 6 & 2) after booking a special offer online. Positive - Excellent customer service with polite, friendly staff, thankyou. Clean room that was serviced every morning Breakfast! Negative - Decor needs updating/replacing and minor repairs/tlc needed throughout. We would have rated higher if the building was... More

We stayed for one night over the recent bank holiday in a family room - 2 adults & 2 children. I was pleasantly surprised with the room having 4 full sized beds for us all with clean sheets & relatively comfortable. We all slept well and had an undisturbed sleep despite initially doubting this as there was a boxing match... More
