We've stayed at many hotels in Bournemouth over the years and of them all, the Elstead has to be the best. The hotel itself was welcoming and our room was large and clean.
The meals were excellent - especially dinner. Beautifully cooked, hot and generous portions.
This was a friendly hotel and we are looking forward to returning.

Visiting my daughter. son in law and grandchildren in Poole, too noisy and busy to stay with them after a long flight so booked this hotel online. I arrived from Heathrow at 8am expecting to be advised that check in would be 3pm. To the contrary, shown to a lovely room immediately, had a great breakfast and a nap before my 6 and 9 year olds descended. Staff lovely, this is a bit of a jewel of a hotel and I will be back there next month as it is my grandaughters 7th.

We have just returned from the Elstead Hotel today after a three day stay. What a wonderful Hotel. The Room was lovely and spotlessly clean, Staff really welcoming and made our stay so special. The Food well it was first class and the Hotel just wonderful. We felt we really wanted to stay there a few more days as we were enjoying ourselves so much. Cannot wait to return to the Elstead again. It really should be graded to a 4-5 star Hotel. Thank you to everyone at the Elstead for our very special stay.

What a nice suprise , Excellent staff and Brilliant food and very good value for money we only booked three days before based on the reviews and the overall rating but they do not do this Hotel Justice we had a upgrade of room at no extra cost when they say best room available they mean just that we will be going back again just like a lot of the other clients.
