First time at this hotel but won't be the last. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food was lovely and the service was great. The bedrooms are showing their age but are still adequate. The beds are comfortable and the linen is of excellent quality. We didn't want to leave.

Food was okay but rather short on green vegetables (swede most nights on "roast" dinner)! Problem with sink which was reported but not resolved. Otherwise hotel was okay for what we paid for the holiday

We spent four nights at the Bournemouth Sands this last week. Our room was spacious, and the bed was super comfy. Housekeeping was excellent, as were all the staff we encountered. The food was palatable and always hot. Our waiter Krystoff was an absolute star. The hotel should be very proud of him. The entertainment was good too. The situation of the hotel is ideal, no direct sea views, but the cliff top is only a short stroll away. We would have no hesitation in booking again.

The sands hotel bournemouth is in need of a refurbishment. Our room 110, the main light and bathroom light didn't work. Cracks in the ceiling, mould in the bathroom, the seat on the toilet moved when sat on it. Couldn't get the radiator to work ,so our room was cold, I have raynauds which effects my hands and feet , so I was in pain . Maintenance knew about our light but didn't do anything about it . We informed the chambermaid about the heating situation and she told the Maintenance man . I have asthma, so I was concerned about the mould in the bathroom. The restaurant is very claustrophobic noisy and has a certain odour, especially with 150 people being served at the same time. The lift is totally inadequate for the amount of people using it, mostly disabled people. Most of the food is adequate ,it depends on what you have order, it's a bit hit and miss .

Terrible place. It's old and needs updating. Our room on the 2nd floor had rainwater penetrating from out side. Could not change rooms so slept in a damp room with bucket collecting the water. An old problem as damp on ceiling plus evidence of previous repairs. The bathroom was a joke. Water had a green tint so had to buy bottled water. Hardly any room to use the wc as the toilet roll holder was massive and in the way. Had to go in at an angle to use it. Curtains too short, drafty windows. Avoid room 208 at all cost. Food was very basic and not pleasant. Portions small and obviously on an economy drive. only 2 pieces of toast not the usual 3. Soup bowl only 1/3rd full etc. Would not use this hotel or Daishs who we went with. Our 2nd very bad expreince.

Great hotel with good sized rooms and a good selection of food in the restaurant. Although service could be a bit slow at times due to staff shortages. Sadly Bournemouth its self was very disappointing but Poole a short bus ride away was a bustling alive town to spend a day exploring.
