I stayed at this hotel for four nights with my girlfriend, and overall, we had a pleasant experience. The location is perfect just a short five-minute walk from the beautiful Bournemouth beach, which made exploring the area incredibly convenient. Our room was quite spacious and came with all the essentials we needed. The bed was very comfortable, and the room itself was clean and well-maintained. We appreciated the overall cleanliness and comfort throughout our stay. Considering the price, we found it to be great value for money. The only minor downside is that some parts of the hotel could use a bit of updating, as it’s clear the building is a bit dated. However, this didn’t affect the quality of our stay.

We arrived very late at night, after our car broke down, the staff were fantastic, super friendly and helpful, even lending us a charger for our phone. Our room was clean, spacious and well equipped. Couldnt have asked for more.

Overall, my first time at Hotel Celebrity was fair. For the price, I think it was good. The room size was good but the floors make alot of noise when you walk and parts of the floor in my room needs some repair. Overall, the environment was peaceful with a nice chill vibe.

The hotel was easy find, the tariffs good, the rooms decent enough based on the price (showerhead had nowhere to sit, so no showers, but the bath was sizeable). Had a triple room with 3 singles; it was a really good size with a sofa too, so plenty of room for myself and my two teenage boys. Friendly staff, and only a 10-15 walk into the city centre.

The rooms were tidy and clean overall. The staff was really nice, especially Raul, give me assistance on find my room and checking up on my experience of staying in the hotel. Moreover, the hotel is close to town centre and affordable price per night. I do recommend this hotel.

Picked this hotel because of the positive reviews from other guests and they weren’t wrong. Obviously it is a budget hotel and maybe a bit of TLC is needed e.g. toilet seat was loose, shower door sticks, glass shelf falling off and generally a bit dated. But it was clean and comfortable and good value for the one night stopover after returning from France with a late check-in prearranged. Car parking £10 if there is a space, which luckily there was one and need to register the vehicle straight away. Celebrity themed rooms and hey, what better than waking up to Tommy Coopers smiling face eh, Just Like That

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights as a little getaway and there is nothing negative we can say about this hotel. The location was perfect, short walk away from the centre and the beach. The room although a little small it wasn’t an issue, it was very clean and we slept great. We loved the bar as well and everyone that we met from the staff were just super helpful and attentive, if we come back we will only stay here again. Parking was not an issue, the only small thing is the lobby and the stairs might do with a small upgrade as it’s a little old but that’s all. Very good value for money!! Thank you Celebrity Hotel!
