One night stay.
My husband and I stayed here for one night. It was fine. The room we had was small but had everything we needed in it. Breakfast the next morning was good and plenty of choice. Only down fall was not a lot of parking however there was a carpark just over the road £10 per 24 hours. When I booked Laura was extremely helpful and friendly. Hotel itself is close to the sea and is within walking distance. Would stay here again.
Highly Recommended
Stayed for an evening with the family, rooms of a good size, very friendly staff and great breakfast. Will definitely be staying there again.

\'Ullswater Hotel\'
We stayed at this hotel on the 9th of August we found the hotel staff very friendly and helpful our room although a little tired was very clean & tidy the bed was lovely and comfy the breakfast in the morning was very good with plenty of choice parking is limited but if you arrive early enough you could get a place the Hotel is very handy for getting into Bournemouth town center also the beach and theaters/restaurants. We will return.
Thank you everyone at Ullswater
My family and I had a great stay at UllswaterThe staff were brilliant,everything we wanted in our accommodation was providedWould definately stay there again, and recommend it
Mr
Thanks.everything was fine. Big room!!!
Friendly for dogs
Good value for money, rooms cleanNice breakfast and very close to the sea
Good location.
Location not far to the beach. Clean.
Ullswater Hotel
Yes, I agree with other reviewers that the Ullswater Hotel is in need of updating in some areas but the room was clean, the bedding was clean, the towels were pure white and the bed was comfortable. I was not happy with my room when I arrived as it was not up to the same standard as my friend's but the staff soon put that right and I was moved into a new room without any issues.The breakfast was excellent. Having the lift was such a welcome extra. The main lounge/bar area is lovely but lacks atmosphere so was empty most of the time we were there. I think some lamps and soft music might entice people in, the lighting is bright and unwelcoming, that could be put right so easily.The owners and staff were polite, friendly and interested in their guests, which was very nice.
Ullswater hotel
We had a very pleasant stay very helpful and pleasant staff. The room was just nice clean comfortable and had everything we needed of course it's dated but we would stay here again . If there is one complaint I had is don't get the top floor unless they can stop the seagulls from roosting right next to the window very hard to sleep.The breakfast was great again very good staffkept refilling the different food and plenty of choice .
Very nice
I did already leave my review about yr hotel on Booking.com, couldn t wait to do it because I only have had positive to say about it!!! 🙂 From the room, to the location, food, the staff mostly the reception one, all greattttðŸ‘
Good Value for Money
Nice and helpful staff, good breakfast, close to beach.
Thank you ullswater
We had always been nervous about 2 or even 3 stars in Bournemouth but not this time..great loxation, friendly staff clean and comfortable room lovely breakfast defo will use the ullswater again for our weekend getaway.
Review
I really enjoyed my stay. Jamal and Laura made me and my friend feel so welcome. I would definitely come back another time.
Lovely hotel
Friendly helpful staff, especially Laura on reception.very close to beach.
Always a pleasure
Had a very comfortable stay. Staff friendly and polite. Self service breakfast was brilliant. Many thanks to all the staff who work there.
Brilliant
Room was large, clean and comfortable. Staff really helpful and polite and just 5 mins walk from the beach. Will defo be back . Breakfast was also really lovely. We stayed for 3 days. Thank you for a great stay.
No frills functionality
we stayed here while enjoying a weekend with friends. The hotel room and communal areas were clean, staff were really helpful and friendly the breakfast was really nice and reasonably priced. Yes, the hotel is like being in a time warp, with the lift reminiscent of that in the Titanic movie but it just added to the experience and we just took photos pretending we were trapped in it. Room was small, bathroom very small, the ceiling was peeling off in our room in the corner and it smelt and looked like going round my nans’ house - especially the furniture but it was nostalgic and the room was functional, reasonably priced and served the purpose we were there for as we were only using the room to get ready and sleep in, so as long as it was clean there were no issues. If ypu are looking for a romantic getaway, this isn’t the place but if you are looking for somewhere to rest your head and be relatively near the town centre and the beach, this is it.
Nice hotel
Great location to the centre of Bournemouth. Clean, tidy and staff very helpful. Parking was very handy as well. Definitely recommend for an affordable stay close to the town
short break
nice room. wonderful staff. great breakfast what more can youask for.
Extremely clean
The rooms are extremely clean however the room that I had was slightly bigger than the average box room.These type of rooms are however not included in the hotel brochure photos.Everything in working order. Breakfast is a full English breakfast.No fruit or yogurt included.There are no shops immediately around but a little corner shop about 10 minutes away.The beach is walking distance too. Not any add ons. Extension of stay is 10gbp an hour. No 24 hour reception. Decent guests no rough backpackers. Would recommend
Bournmouth trip
Very good hotel ,staff very polite, nice n clean, yummy breakfast
visiting mother
lovely hotel .really helpful staff .nothing too much trouble.very comfortable room .extraordinary view , from about a 3 minute walk to the west over cliff .limited parking , but I don't have a car.bit of a walk to the bus stops. but delightful walk to the town centre along the west cliff .I had a very , enjoyable stay here.
An enjoyable one night stay.
Very welcoming staff, lovely bright and airy bedroom on first floor. Large comfortable bed, snowy white sheets, very clean. Shower in room 13 needs attention as very stiff to turn on. Husband enjoyed full English breakfast but I only prefer a continental and no fruit (tinned grapefruit would do!)and no croissants etc. so a bit disappointing. However, all round for the price we paid for the night it was good value. Thank you.
Nice
No parking space.I'ts limited.SAD
Great family room, great location
Nothing very fancy about this B&B but it ticks all of the boxes. Family room is great. The rooms looked fairly new. Great stay
Lovely Hotel
The location of the hotel is great , very quiet and central!Will be back again 😀
Great location
Definitely coming back here again. Family room was spacious, newly decorated, very clean and comfortable. New tv wasnt working but the staff did their utmost to sort the problem. I had been worried about limited parking but found a space easily. Breakfast was well organised with was plenty of choice. Great location being close to the beach. Welcoming and friendly atmosphere.
Great stay
We had a lovely stay and nice and friendly staff I would stay again breakfast was nice and beds were so comfy would recommend it ☺ï¸â˜ºï¸
Amazing Experience
We booked the hotel for a friends hen party. We had the best service you could ask for. All the staff were very helpfull, especially the young lady who worked from 3pm to 11pm. And the man who worked in the mornings. We ordered a takeaway and asked for the plates and the young lady just gave us all the plates and cutlery that we neededat 10pm :) The customer services is like in a 5* hotel. All the girls at our party were really happy with the hotel. The rooms were clean and tidy, and the location of the hotel is perfect. 10min from the beach and the town centre. Will definetly visit again and recommend to others. Thank you for making the hen party even more special :)
Comfortable stay
The staff were great, room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was perfect and set us up for the day.Thanks for a great stay, exactly what we were after.
Great location
Friendly staff, comfortable bed and a clean room. We will be staying again
Last Minute Stay
My wife and I stayed at the Ullwater Hotel before catching a boat to Guernsey.Although some of the fittings and furniture are a bit dated our beds and covers pillows etc were very clean.The staff were very helpful and we thought that the hotel was good value for money.The breakfast was also of a high standard.
Great value break
Warm welcome, lovely spacious, airy, bright room. Comfortable beds. Bit old fashioned but nice and clean and had homely feel. Breakfast room had just the right level of background music for a relaxed feel and plenty of good food and good tea. Excellent position short walk to clifftop with beautiful sea views. Also fairly near to bus stops. Very good value for money.
Really convenient for BIC
Stayed overnight at the Ullswater Hotel to see a concert at the Bournemouth International Centre.It was easy to find, we managed to get a parking space at the front (although you have to pay £5 extra for this!)and it was really convenient for the centre of town.Room comfortable and clean but basic,reception very helpful and breakfast very good, limited choice.For the money we paid I felt it was good value.
Good value
Good clean room good value for money for room and breakfast
Stay
We arrived late and stayed for 1 night only. Pleasent room and good breakfast . Value for mobey
Worth It
For the amount paid and the location, Ullswater Hotel is definitely worth it
Excellent break
Great location, friendly staff, fresh cooked breakfast every morning, rooms and beds comfortable.
Ullswater Hotel
This hotel is a bit dated but offers excellent value for money.Rooms are clean and tidy and linen and towels spotless.The staff are friendly and very helpful.The breakfast is excellent and kitchen has a 5 star rating.We look forward to retuning again soon.Why pay stupid prices when you are close to all amenities accommodation good and food great.If you like vqlue for money this is a great place to stay.You will not be dissapointed.

Pleasant stay
Pleasant hotel with friendly staff! Rooms clean and tidy! Plenty of choice for breakfast!
Friendly staff
We had a lovely stay, staff were super friendly and the hotel was in an amazing location. Would definitely stay again.
Night away
We stayed 1 night. The hotel was lovely and clean and the staff were extremely pleasant. The hotel is a bit out of date and a few little things we noticed. A window catch was broken the lights above the bed didn't work and slight damp coming in shower room. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again if the improvements could be met.
great
Wirklich sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Leckeres Frühstück. Und nur 5 Minuten zum Strand und ins Zentrum. Klasse.
Four days in Bournemouth
Due to the price very good accomodation. It is close to the beach. Equipment for tourists such as kettle, milk, coffee in the room for me a pleasant surprise. Staff very friendly and helpful.
fantstic location, great staff
short family break, met expectation for the price - cheap and cheerful. Enormous size of the rooms. all good and recommended
Fantastic staff
We came as a party of 16 (stag)The staff were very accommodating.The manager was very helpful towards a few drunken stagsThank you for a great stay
Clean and friendly Hotel
Nice quiet clean hotel.
rather nice
I arrived mid afternoon to a warm welcome, quick efficient check in wonderful antique lift, nice room with bathtub, well maintained, plenty of tea and coffee and milks, comfy bed, fair sized tv wit lots of channels- thoroughly recommended
Weeks holiday june 2019
Very helpful and friendly staff , had a week here , probably could have done with larger double room ,but was ok, breakfast was great , shame had to pay to park but then again you do in most places nowadays.would definitely stay here again, very near to sea front too and only cost £5 for taxi back from town.
We loved our visit to the Ullswater Hotel
If you want a hotel with a warm homely feeling then you have to go to the Ullswater Hotel, all the staff are very pleasant and extremely helpful.On or visit the WI (Women's Institute) had a nation meeting at Bournemouth the hotel was full of members lots of the members had stayed many times.Do try the breakfast it is well cooked and plentiful as the boss (the Wife) said if it good for the WI members its good for me. And when the Boss say thing like that well I am happy Too.We can recommend the Ullswater Hotel, the location is very good just a short walk to the beach and a large park over looking the beach great views ideal if you have young children plus only a short walk to Bournemouth centre and the pier (beach is lovey sand and very clean.What make this hotel even more friendly is its pet friendly even has a dinning area were you can take your dog with you for breakfast How good is that.
Great hotel
Great Hotel! Felt like home away from home. Wonderful breakfast. Very helpful and friendly staff. Stone throw from the beach! Fab location :-)
Excellent stay
Great hotel. Clean rooms, comfortable bed and the staff are friendly and professional. Excellent value for money.
Good budget hotel
Me and my wife stayed in this hotel for one night with breakfast. Our impressions are positive. Receptionists were polite and helpful. The room was clean and without any smells. Mattress and pillows comfy, bedding fresh and clean. Carpet clean and enjoyable to walk on barefoot. Shower/toilet/kettle working properly. Breakfast hot and tasty. (Lids been placed on top of containers.)We really don't understand negative reviews about this hotel. Yes, it is quite old and a bit used, but cleaned well. Yes, the furniture in the room was used, but at the same time well-kept. Yes, there was a stain on the ceiling, but, my goodness, we did not take this room for staring at the ceiling all day long!Overall: If you need budget hotel with good location and all the basic needs well covered, it's for you.If super-duper look is more important, just pay 4 times more and don't ruin their opinion.
Stay
It was a nice stay! The roons were quiet and the location of the hotel to the sea and town center is good...
Great location
Location of Ullswater is great, short walk to beach & Westcliff area bars & clubs. Reception very helpful and welcoming, all staff friendly and helpful.Hotel was really clean however Rm18 was tired & bit shabby particularly en-suite which could have done with updatingBuffet b/fast was good & convenient parking @£5 charge was available
Nice, clean and silent place. Ideal for relax.
Nice place. Very clean. Staff is very kind. Only 5 min from sea. It was my second visit in this hotel. I will come back again.
Inexpensive and Cozy
The hotel was within a 5 minute walk of the beach and 10 minutes walk to the shops. Clean rooms and very helpful staff. Parking is a bit dodgy, though. Would stay here again.
One night stay
Good location. Large room .comfortablebeds.Little dated but clean.Would use again .Friendly staff. Good breakfast.
One night stay

Great hotel
Lovely friendly staff. We were greeted with a lovely smiling receptionist. Good value for money and a great location. First time at this hotel and will definitely return.
Great hotel
We are regular visitors to Bournemouth and have stayed in a variety of hotels. For us the Ullswater has what we need: decent bed, good shower, quiet, good and reasonable priced car parking and excellent location.On top of the above the staff are wonderful - really friendly! Breakfast is also great value for money and overall the hotel is a great value for money hotel.
Our Weekend
The Ullswater was very clean, well organised and the staff fantastic and very helpful. Our breakfast was very nicely laid out and everything cooked perfectly.Our only criticism was the decoration probably needs a little updating but that reflected in the price, so we cannot complain really.The hotel is so well situated to within walking distance to Bournemouth and the beautiful beach and parks.Would definitely recommend this hotel.
Royal British legion Conference weekend
Hotel easy to find, room clean and comfortable, breakfast good, staff excellent and friendly. Parking a bit steep (all parking in Bournemouth seems expensive) but much appreciated for the convenience it provided.
Short stay
Stayed here for 3 midweek nights friendly staff. decor a bit dated,looks like they have started to redecorate, breakfast was a buffet style which was very good only took what we wanted will definitely stay again.
1 night stay
Good hotel very large room perfect for a night away in bournmouth, very close to beach and restaurants
Good value.
Stayed for one night and a good experience all round in a well kept hotel.
Excellent breakfast and staff.
Me, my parents and my partner spent two nights which was good. The rooms were a bit compact as I could not sleep well due to less air ventilation. The shower room is very small and not comfortable at all. Staff were good specially the kitchen staff who served breakfast. Excellent breakfast, good value for money.Thank you.
3 day trip to Bournemouth
good location (short distance to beach as well as to the centre), nice cosy room, perfect breakfast, wifi worked :-)) and very kind and helpful staff
A very comfotable stay
Made very welcome by staff. Nice clean room. Nice comfortable bar, with reasonable prices. Excellent cooked breakfast buffet style. Only downside is Parking very limited and cannot be booked
Nice Hotel
My friend and I stayed to attend a gig at the BIC.The hotel is clean and comfortable and excellent value for money.The staff are smiley and helpful.A little bit more pressure in the water from the shower would make it perfect :-)
2. Day break
Stayed for 2 nights with my daughter to see Olly muirs at the BIC . Perfect location only 10 min walk . Hotel needs updating but was lovely and clean . Comfy beds and good quality bedding and pillows . Staff were lovely . We parked right outside the hotel .
Great value, terrific friendly attentive service , well situated for beach shops buses
I felt all my requests prior to committing were made which was very reassuring.Zoya and Laura are excellent managers. It made my whole journey and stay very enjoyable and relaxed.I asked for a heater as I get cold at night, one was found within the hour.I did not expect breakfast but on arrivalFound out it was included and my food requirements met.There is someone at reception all the time.Kay and Andrea were very professional efficient waitress, Rija serviced my room very cheerfully.I popped out to the beach many times as it is 5 minutes away.I was able to arrive early and wait in the very big lounge, and checked in early too.I stayed 7 days but would have stayed longer but hotel was full on Saturday night.so I moved on. The I loved the sash windows photos from 1962 in the lounge.The guests were interesting and friendly, all this made a huge positive impact on me as I was travelling alone.,was able to store my special packed lunch in kitchen fridge, as I was attending a 3 day workshop in Paris time and had to leave early.Chris the night porter dealt with the fire alarm very quickly,
Great hotel for a cheap stopover
We have used this hotel twice recently and both times we have been impressedby the value for money. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. We'll be back!

Miluska, Prague
Very nice place, good hotel,kindly service.
Does the job nicely ðŸ‘ðŸ»
Well located, clean, good value hotel in sunny Bournemouth. Very helpful, pleasant staff. Not the most modern of hotels and not exactly all mod cons - the shower isn’t power and bring bottled water as you can’t drink from the tap - but it’s comfortable enough for a short stay and is in a good part of town. Had a decent night’s sleep in a remarkably quiet room!
One night stay
We spent one night at your hotel and would say that our stay was pleasant and would be happy to spend longer here in the future
Ullswater Hotel
All the staff at the Ullswater were very friendly polite & professional. The room was large & comfortable. The buffet style breakfast was brilliant. Hope to return again.

Weekend stay
Yes the hotel is a little bit dated, but the room was very clean the breakfast was good the staff were wonderful and the location was excellent. Would definitely recommend
Excellent value
The hotel was clean and very comfortableeven though it was a bit tired in places. However the staff were very helpful and had good customer service skills. Breakfast was good, even though it said it was continental it was cooked breakfast(full English if you wanted it freshly cooked)which was self service
Lovely stay in a Victorian environment
Walk through door of this hotel and you’re in a genuine Victorian environment! Even the lift is quirky the old gated type! All the staff are lovely and helpful. Special mention to Laura who organised taxis for us and was a delightful hostess as she served in the bar. The hotel was spotlessly clean and breakfast gorgeous. We’ all definitely be back!
Lovely victorian hotel
We had a great stay, room was bright and clean, beds comfortable. Staff very accommodating. Breakfast is terrific. Excellent value.
Comfortable
We stayed for 2 nights easter weekend. We booked a family room as we have 2 small kids. The room was very clean and tidy and ideal for our stay. The deco is dated but everything is in good working condition, so we didnt have a problem with it. I must compliment all the staff, starting off with the reception ending with housekeeping. Everyone had a smile on their face and were so happy to help. Whatever extra we asked for, they happily obliged....which is 5 stars for me! Breakfast was fantastic, the young english girl was very kind and helpful. It was great to come down in the morning as she was so hype, bubbly and chatty. She made us feel very welcome. Well done to all the staff that we encountered. Very easy to get into town and beach which was abt 15 min walk to each which was ideal. The nights were very peaceful which was free from all the hustle and bustle of the town. Parking can be an issue as there was abt 10 spaces left but on the opposite street was plenty of parking. I will definitely book again as it suited my family well. Thank u for a comfortable.stay
Good location
The hotel is on a very good location, close to the beach and to the cetre. The breakfast was good, the room was comfortable, staff polite.
Nice hotel for price.
nice hotel and room for money.Breakfast could have boiled eggs or croissants.Staff was very friendly.
Excellent
Booked one family room with 2 single bed and a double bed.Room very clean and received extra connected room with 2beds for free with a family of 4.Staff are very friendly. My kids love it
Excellent value for money
Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast good and plentiful. For the money it can't be faulted. Rooms were clean and comfortable.2 negative points;Ceilings had water damage from room above.Parking, not enough for the amount of guests.. Although these hotels were built before this modern need. Member of staff did offer to move his for us.Would definitely stay again.
Great hotel
Greeted with a very friendly receptionist which told us about some restaurants with 10% off, comfy room, great breakfast with fresh food and as much as u want buffet and cheerful staff.... Only a short walk along the cliff to Bournmouth, and great walks along beach to Poole, will stay again
Lovely 4 night break.
Lovely welcome & all staff pleasant & helpful throughout our stay. Our twin room was spacious, clean & catered for all our needs - beds extremely comfortable. The buffet breakfast was adequate - only minor gripe being that the tasty cooked items would have been more enjoyable if hotter & a personal preference would have been to have some fruit. Overall our stay was excellent & most enjoyable - great value for money! We understand that the establishment has recently been taken on ver by new proprietors & we wish you every success. We certainly hope to be back.
Good stay
Really nice stay , all staff was accommodating as possible and did everything to make our stay good ! Our room was ready straight away on arrival which made our stay easier also breakfast was great , buffet breakfast everyday which was nice each morning
General
Perfect location and cleanand comfortable for a bargain price.
Well maintained Hotel in Fantastic location
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is at a good standard for a 2** hotel. The cooked breakfast was hearty, and the beach just a stone throw away from the hotel with panoramic views of the coastline.
Great value
Nice clean room and great value. Great location for beaches and town. Good breakfast. Would stay here again.
Very Impressed
I booked the hotel a bit last minute as I wanted to save a return journey for a 2 day course in a local venue. All I expected was a bed for the night, although I booked a double so as not to suffer a single bed. On entering the hotel, through a welcoming foyer and external steps (possibly granite, certainly quite impressive) the booking staff were friendly and my room was on the top floor. I was advised to use the lift. The lift was a quirky old style with internal gate, the overall feel of the Hotel was well kept, if a little tired but certainly not neglected, with some original features in evidence. The room was comfortable, with opening windows in the bedroom and en suite. The bed was comfortable with very white and fresh linen and new feeling bedding, the towels were also very white and fresh. A good sleep with usual room facilities and the restaurant was another nice surprise, we’ll staffed and a choice of cereals, continental of buffet English. All in all very impressed and I am looking to return with my wife for a relaxing break. Thank you Ullswater
Highly recommend
Perfect location - 15 mins walk into town. Comfortable and clean. GREAT value for money! Lovely breakfast, friendly and helpful staff.£5 a night for parking but first come first service etc.Highly recommend.
Mother\'s Day get away

Stay at the Ullswater in Bournemouth
Clean, quiet room with crisp newly-laundered bedding and fluffy towels. Very helpful reception staff who were happy to provide us with more milk for cups of tea!
Good Deal in Bournemouth
A couple of small problems in the room (heating and shower), not a problem for me if management reacts quickly once informed, and happily they did, so all good. Quiet and central location. Good breakfast.
All good
Staff and location fantastic. The hotel is tired ! However you get what you pay for and for that I can not fault. Will possibly go again as they welcomed our dog .
Comfortable, everything as described, good value
Stayed for a couple of nights in twin room with adult daughter.We were both very comfortable, all usual amenties provided.Good location near town and beach, though imagine the road it's on, which is mostly hotel-lad, can get very busy in high season.Parking a bit of a lottery but staff helpful.Would definitely stay here again
Excellent stay
Been here before, with a coach firm. We love Bournemouth coming here once ayear for a short stay.excellent staff,fantastic breakfast,hot food is very hot!! .Our room was a little tired saying that everything was there.Nothing too much trouble with the staff from abit more milk and could they open our tonic bottles!Free parking was a bonus as well
Visiting for my sons graduation from Bournemouth university
Ullswater was an excellent location for beach and town. Staff very friendly and helpfulRooms were lovely and spacious
Lovely hotel
Really nice hotel, friendly staff, nice warm bedroom, good breakfast, great position just a short walk to the seafront, we stayed here for one night of a three night break in which we were booked into the bigger, more expensive Durley dean around the corner but we wish we had three nights in Ullswater as its a nicer hotel
Family plan
We were really comfortable and the staff were really kind
great value for money.
had a very pleasant overnight stay, the beds and pillows extremely comfy:) plenty of tea and coffee in the room. breakfast was good and served quickly, staff polite, welcoming and happy. a hotel I would return to.

We enjoyed are over night stay in a lovely building with a lovely cosy room and lovely staff got looked after really well. Breakfast was yummy.Easy to get to the seafront and pier and town with lovely views.
Marie
A comfortable night, friendly staff and a good location. Only criticism is that they appeared to be short staffed and the receptionist seemed to be helping in the restaurant. Thustwice we had to wait a long time at reception( well over 5 mons) for attention
Good value for money
Nice clean comfortable hotel. Very pleasant staff. Good location
Brilliant stay
Had a lovely stay staff wwere fab food and room was excellent cant wait to go back
Good to Go !
It was very difficult to find fault.From entering the hotel for the first time all staff were very efficient courteous & extremely pleasant.The room was clean large & very comfortable with clean crisp bedding.The breakfast was a quality full English served hot & tasty.The hotel is located close to the top of the cliffs & the wonderful beach & sea views.Many Thanks.
excellent stay
Good price, excellent friendly polite service.clean quiet location
Family break
We had a brilliant comfortable stay at Ullswater Hotel .Our room was in the basement with windows street level. It was very spacious. More like an apartment. Crisp white sheets , and tea making facilities.The breakfast hall was lovely. Everywhere was kept nice & the staff was so friendly.I was amazed it was only 2 star.Fabulous location too. Definitely would return.
Good traditional hotel
Very good traditional hotel which is ideal for a short break. Excellent location in a quiet side road on the West Cliff, a couple of minutes walk to a small park on the cliff top and a couple more minutes down to thebeach.Tasty and satisfying full English breakfast served on properly heated plates. Like the fact that it is close enough for a seafront run (or walk) before breakfast. Breakfast and reception staff were all very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable with plenty of hot water and supplies for making drinks and the free wifi worked well. A very good position for getting around without a car. A bus to the town centre and railway station stops very nearby. It is about half a mile walk to the town too and from there are plentiful buses to Poole, Sandbanks, Christchurch, and further afield. [Get a £5 a day unlimited travel card from the bus office by Asda/station.]
Nice!
I spent one night there, room for one guest. The room was very good, clean and had a good size, the bathroom exactly the same. The reception was very good, people really nice, very kind and very helpful. The location to go to the beach was good.If I come back, I will repeat!
Nice place
Nice place, the room was clean and the staff friendly. Relation price-quality is quite good.
Weekend away
We both thought from checking in to when we left it was an easy weekend away. Very good service at breakfast made you feel at home
Enjoyable stay
My wife and myself had a most enjoyable stay at the Ullswater Hotel. The breakfast was superb served in an elegant dining hall. The staff were very attentive and friendly. As we love Bournemouth and have stayed at various hotels in the town over the years I must say the Ullswater Hotel would be a place for a return visit. Talking to other guests during breakfast time I am sure they share the same thoughts with regard to the welcoming hotel staff. As an added bonus the Hotel is not too far away from the beach, lower gardens and town centre.
Ullswater hotel Bournemouth
Good value hotel with friendly staff a few minutes walk from the beach. Comfy beds, excellent breakfast served quickly and efficiently, would stay again.
Friends and careing familyowned hotell, 10 minuter walk from the beach!
Altough our stay at your lovely hotel only lasted one night, you gave us a fantastic two days experience of Bournemouth! What we liked? We especially appreciated: the warm andwelcoming attitude from the 2 girls in reception, the large room, the close distance to the breathtaking beaches of Bournemouth and the nice english breakfast you serve!
very welcoming hotel
We had the best welcome at this hotel.The receptionists were both so helpful. The hotel is a little old fashioned but the staff more than make up for this. We would happily stay again.

We had a lovely, peaceful stay at the Ullswater. We were able to get into our room earlier than expected and didn't have any problem parking. The staff at the front desk were extremely helpful and friendly. Our room was comfy and clean and we would stay here again. Great location too.

value for money
On arrival was given a friendly welcome, but as expected, by reading other reviews and knowing the hotel was fully booked had to sort out parking which they had a plan for but could be better managedby supplying a parking permit. Stayed in a family room,5, which was very spacious and clean but could do with a little maintenance, a little lining paper peeling of the ceiling, bathroom door handle coming apart. Breakfast was good and again staff pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately although there were plenty of staff on hand they were a little disorganised and some people had too wait to order or food came to a wrong table just because staff didn't seem to be working to an area. That said we had a lovely breakfast, did not feel rushed or starved would just like to see additional spreads for the ample toast offered, not everyone enjoys marmalade eg. wife and kids and kids on next table. So just a little more attention to detail and I would happily give the extra star. That said the location, spacious room, service and value for money will make for another booking in the future.
Recent Visit
The hotel has maintained its standard following our last visit four years ago. We were entirely satisfied.
September visit
An older style hotel with reasonable facilities, but could do with some small changes, e.g. shelf in shower for soap, shampoo etc, mirror in shower room higher so can see one's face. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfasts are good, traditional types. Seems to like bowling clubs!
Comments
I have two comments, the first the shower tray in room 7 filled up very quickly but did not flow away, making your shower rather a quick one, the second is every time I had a drink with a lemonade mixer, the lemonade was flat.
