Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Bournemouth Carlton Hotel By Sunday is frequently praised for its location right on the beach front, often providing access to a quieter area than the pier, yet still remaining conveniently close to it; many guests enjoy rooms that are very spacious and some are upgraded to rooms boasting sea views and balconies. Guests commonly appreciate the wide selection of food available at the breakfast buffet. While some guests have noted that the family rooms can appear outdated, the indoor heated swimming pool is a hit, especially with children.

Mixed feelings about the stay

good locationlack of viewpeeling wallpaper
The location was good. It was right across from the beach.
Our balcony offered no view When seated because of a wall. I felt ripped off. The room was also dated with wallpaper peeling off.

Great Coastal Hotel

great locationhelpful staffbreakfast choiceunclear parking
The location is perfect I was so close to the beach and town centre. The staff was very helpful all the time. I enjoyed having breakfast with amazing sea views. They provided a good choice of menu items.
The parking was a bit unclear when I arrived I eventually managed to figure it out. More signs would be very helpful though.
