Location

The hotel is situated in the centre of Bournemouth nearly 5 minutes on foot from St Peter's Gothic Church. Laser Quest Bournemouth in Bournemouth is within reach of the Royale.

Also, the accommodation is within a 2-km distance of Alum Chine Beach, and Bournemouth Central train station is located just 1.7 km away.

Rooms

Staying at Norfolk Royale Hotel, you may choose from one of the 82 rooms featuring high-speed internet and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, as well as essentials such as an iron and air conditioning. Bathrooms have a separate toilet and a shower, along with a hairdryer and a shower cap.

Eat & Drink

Breakfast is served in the restaurant. Drinks are available at the lounge bar. The bar area includes a lounge. Guests can dine at Wildwood, serving European dishes, or at Franco Manca Bournemouth, located merely a 5-minute walk away.

Leisure & Business

On-site at the Royale Bournemouth, you can enjoy a Jacuzzi and a sauna or relax in an indoor swimming pool.

“The Edwardian architecture radiates a historic charm that newer hotels simply can't replicate, and the location puts you in the heart of Bournemouth near award-winning gardens and golden beaches. I think the indoor pool and flexible dining, including vegetarian and vegan options, make it a solid choice for families and individuals alike.”

Wonderful Stay

clean roomquick resolutionlovely spaceuncomfortable mattress
The room was very clean with plenty of space. It was also cool and quiet. I really appreciated the quick resolution when a fuse blew after I overfilled the kettle. The reception area provided a lovely space to relax.
The mattress felt a bit uncomfortable! it was like I was sleeping on a bag of nuts and bolts
Service
9/10
The staff were friendly and helpful; I appreciated how quickly they addressed the electrical issue in my room. Some team members seemed new, but they still worked hard to help the guest during their stay.
Dining
8/10
Breakfast had tea and coffee service, and the buffet had several options. Staff seemed rushed on Saturday, but Sunday was calmer; I enjoyed the experience much more. The ingredients didn't seem the best quality, but were acceptable!
Facilities
9/10
The pool and jacuzzi were a great addition; my kids really enjoyed them. The hotel also had parking available, though it is best booked in advance to get the best price, I appreciate that. Shops and cafes are nearby.
