The room was so clean and they put chocolates and various tea/coffee/hot chocolate options in the room. If I go to Bournemouth again, I will definitely stay this cozy and lovely hotel. ##### MR SUREYYA SARP Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Barbara Jun 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Nice and quiet. Close too beach and local shops 7 minutes walk. Hotel was pleasantly peaceful. Didnt see too much staff presence. Breakfast held in two slots. Great stay for short break. ##### Barbara Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gareth Aug 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were very friendly. My room was small, but not a problem as I only stayed for 2 nights, so didn't have much luggage. The room & common areas were very clean and well maintained. The breakfast was top quality! Very short walk to the beach. ##### Gareth Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim May 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable boutique hotel.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had ground floor room and were very happy that we didn’t have stairs to climb. Breakfast was excellent, very well cooked and served hot. Only criticism I could make if I had to make one is, no bar and no possibility of snack or sandwich during the day or evening which would have made it 5\* in my view. Manuela on reception was brilliant. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely stay Perfect location for what I wanted to be able to do. Room was ‘cosy’ smallish but I was travelling alone so not an issue. Price was reasonable and took that into account so not a complaint just an observation. Parking not as difficult as I expected (midweek). Very warm welcome and I felt everything had been thought of in advance. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kym Jul 1, 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Surround area needs attention - clear up and cleaning. Internally the theme and colour schemes are great but the rooms are tired and need some TLC. The breakfast and breakfast room are excellent, however there has been a reduction in the amount of chocolates provided in the room and at reception compared to our previous visit. ##### Kym Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful place to stay by the sea We had a wonderful stay, a welcoming arrival and any queries we had were dealt with both before our stay and during our stay. There is limited parking at the hotel and involves a bit of tetris parking, however I cannot see how this could be resolved given the location and size of the hotel. The Chocolate Box was one of a few hotels that included some on site parking, there is a paid car park near by as well , you just need to be prepared in advance of the possibility of not getting parked on site . The bed was extremely comfortable and room was nicely furnished. I didn't notice any noise from outside or other guests either. It was an easy walk to the sea front and town centre. I'd definitely consider staying here again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4B7AB36AD02FC207D140F69BFB01491E715BC3981665753951679.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 12, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The photos on the web site are deceiving it might look good but in reality the decor is very poor. It needs a freshen up the whole place looks really tired. No staff on site only the maintenance man who was very helpful. Would not recommend. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Felix Aug 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities keine ##### Felix Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Mitchell Aug 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good for a short stay The room was bright and clean. Furniture and furnishings were in very good condition. The bathroom was clean and more functional - showers was very narrow to stand in. Overalla very pleasant place to stay for a few days. ##### Mitchell Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Darren Jun 26, 2024 ##### Darren Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aarti Apr 5, 2024 ##### Aarti Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip Dec 15, 2023 ##### Philip Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynn Dec 7, 2023 ##### Lynn Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Baileys-Hotel-London.h523223.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Horseguards, London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Royal-Horseguards.h25926.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Copthorne-Tara-Hotel-London-Kensington.h26145.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Ritz-London.h28146.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-President-Hotel.h54995.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Riverbank](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Riverbank.h1183908.Hotel-Information) > > [Bedford Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Bedford.h54993.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza County Hall London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-County-Hall-London.h1742184.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-London-Heathrow-Terminal-2-And-3.h33088275.Hotel-Information) > > [The Savoy](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Savoy.h27158.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clermont London, Charing Cross](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Clermont-London.h5169.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clermont London, Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Clermont-London.h10939.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Westminster-Bridge-London.h3113039.Hotel-Information) > > [The May Fair, A Radisson Collection Hotel, Mayfair London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-May-Fair.h7606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westminster London, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Westminster-London.h914179.Hotel-Information) > > [The Landmark London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Landmark-London.h438653.Hotel-Information) > > [Strand Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Strand-Palace-Hotel.h179.Hotel-Information) > > [St Martins Lane London, a Morgans Originals hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-St-Martins-Lane-London.h470865.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal National Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Royal-National-Hotel.h55001.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Kensington-High-St.h9789.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza Victoria London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Victoria-London.h801796.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Containers London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sea-Containers-London.h8466215.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-CitizenM-Tower-Of-London.h14736047.Hotel-Information) > > [The Langham, London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Langham.h22099.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Fitzroy London by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Kimpton-Fitzroy-London.h21514.Hotel-Information)
