“Fantastic family weekend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

16 of us (6 rooms) stayed for one night on Saturday 4th Feb - it couldn't have been better for us. The lounges were perfect for so many of us and the staff were great. The fire alarm went off in the night (no fire) but the manager couldn't have done more to rectify the situation and letters were put through all our doors in the morning to apologise and offer late departure and extended breakfast.
Breakfast was superb, rooms all great - where do the negative comments come from - don't listen to them.

“EXCELLENT WEEKEND BREAK”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We had an excellent weekend break. The staff were very helpful. We had dinner both nights we stayed and the food standard was very high. The breakfasts were excellent too, and we would recommend the hotel and restaurant to everybody. It is the first time we have stayed in a Menzies hotel and were impressed with everything and everyone at the Carlton. Looking forward to staying with you again.

“Should be 5 star”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed for a long weekend and the moment we walked in the customer service shone through the receptionist ensured we had a quiet room as there was a wedding taking place and the room was lovely (209) could not fault anything and I have stayed in many hotels over the years, the dinner menu was very varied and the food was brilliant staff alway's checking if all was okay.
The leisure facilities were clean and the jacuzzi was warm and so was the indoor pool *****
I really cannot understand where the negative comment's come from.
I would like to thank Emma for her excellent costomer service ensuring we had a perfect weekend,
C Harrison.

Room Tip: The seaview rooms are to die for and sometimes it is possible to upgrade.

“dirty taps”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I did enjoy this hotel ,with its sea views and comfortable lounge. However, the taps in the bathroom had not been cleaned for years. The bathrooms and plumbing need upgrading

Room Tip: check the bathrooms and make sure it is clean. Some of the bathrooms not up to standard

Just returned from a fantastic weekend break at the Menzies Carlton Hotel in Bournemouth. The entire weekend was simply wonderful. I could not fault the Hotel in any way. From the moment I walked in, i was greeted by excellent Reception staff & recieved a lovely warm welcome. The room was simply outstanding, lovely & clean with plenty of room. Nice clean large bathroom, even had a telephone !! I had booked in for dinner & was so pleased with the menu choice, excellent food served by outstanding staff. The resturant itself overlooked the sea & the views were stunning. Very pleasant nights sleep & very enjoyable Breakfast on Sunday morning. The Hotel boasts a lovely swimming pool. An outsatnding Hotel. I had read some reviews on Trip advisor but can could not fault the place. Gary P Warwickshire

Room Tip: There are rooms with Sea view, although the room i had was the other side of hotel & therefore n...
