Lovely Art Deco Hotel
The Cumberland is still one of the "better" hotels in Bournemouth, however the East Cliff area is somewhat run down with a few very run down or disused hotels. I had a single room which was compact but comfortable. The bathroom was clean and the towels were some of the best I've had in a hotel of late. Guest areas are kept clean & tidy and the swimming pool area looked good, I didn't use the pool.

On my first night there were no towels in my room. On the website i booked a modern plush looking room. My actual room was nothing like the one shown. The net curtain in my room was ripped. Then came the worst part. The following day i asked where i could get some lunch and was pointed to the restaurant. When I tried to go in i was refused entry despite telling the man that i was staying at the hotel. The restaurant was empty but i was told all tables were pre booked and i could go to the bar instead! No one had told me that i had to make a booking to get some lunch. It was empty and i only wanted something simple. None of the staff or management showed any level of empathy or customer relations skills.i travel round the world staying in some of the best hotels. And sadly i didn't feel made welcome here. Won't be coming back or recommending to my colleagues in the world of show business.

Nice location overlooking the sea. Enjoyed a nice two course dinner and staff were very friendly. Would have given 5 stars if it hadn’t been so noisy, I could hear the guests next door talking and people walking about in the room above. Other than that it was fine

Single room nightmare
Very enjoyable. Lovely hotel great staff good food. The pool and surroundings are fabulous. I booked a single room. That was a mistake. The 'ensuite ' was tiny. I haven't seen anything like it since the 1980s. Dreadful. The room was hot, it was a hot evening. The single glazed Crittal windows didn't close. In any case the AC units to the hotel were beneath the windows and were very noisy throughout the night. Very little sleep. Shame because everything else was great.

NOT DISABLED FRIENDLY AT ALL!!!! I had booked a disabled friendly room, I had even called a week ahead of my arrival to check for a disabled parking space, a disabled bathroom etc. My room was not disabled friendly, the shower was over a bath and I couldn't use it. The lift was extremely tiny for only 3 people and my wheelchair did not fit in! it was the same for other wheelchair users and scooter users. We had to dismantle our chairs and scooters and send them up in bits, it took 2 trips. There is only 1 tiny lift for this massive hotel with 4 floors, it is absolutely ridiculous. It took 21 minutes to get from 3rd floor in lift as every floor was calling for it and it was up and down. 1 lift is pathetic, 3 thin people was a squeeze. it was a farce. Our room was a sea view with balcony, there were floor tiles missing on the balcony floor, the front of the hotel lights up at night with multi coloured changing lights, the bedroom curtains are thick and block this out, but there is nothing covering the bathroom window and our bathroom door wouldn't stay shut, we had to tie the handle with our dressing gown belts to the draw handle to keep it closed or it was like trying to sleep at the Blackpool illuminations. The breakfast room - staff are only concerned with the larger coach parties, not bothered about little bookings. You cannot get through the jungle of chairs and tables Disabled parking bays are the same size as standard parking bays. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL

Overpriced for what you get.
The staff at the reception and managers are great, they let down by a hotel that is great need of updating and general maintenance. Carpets with holes, wallpapers peeling and general demeanour is old and worn need of lots of attention. Room we had was a little compact. Bedding, pillows, curtains and carpet are just on edge of acceptable - and seemed needing replacement.
