Book Cecil Court Hotel - Cheap Hotel in Bournemouth, United Kingdom

Cecil Court Hotel began as the 19th-century home "Lauriston" before its conversion into a hotel in 1933. The property received extensions and alterations in 1950 and reopened under its current name. This historical transformation gives the hotel a layout distinct from purpose-built chain hotels, with rooms spread across multiple floors of a former Victorian residence.

Guests can choose between Standard rooms and larger Deluxe rooms with more generous floor space compared to other hotels at similar price points. All rooms include an en suite shower or bath, a flat-screen TV, and a hairdryer with ironing board. Family rooms are available, and several guest reviews highlight the comfortable beds and spacious storage for groups of three.

Breakfast is offered in two types: a cooked full English and a continental selection, both bookable the night before at an extra cost of £10. The on-site bar serves drinks in the evening and is open from 1PM daily. Guest reviews note that the cooked breakfast is of good quality with generous portions, and the bar is well stocked and reasonably priced.

The hotel sits a 2-minute walk from the shops and bars of Poole Hill and a 5-minute walk from Bournemouth town centre restaurants and stores. Central Gardens is 10 minutes on foot, and the Bournemouth International Centre is about 12 minutes away. Bournemouth train station is a 6-minute drive, and the beachfront and pier are a 10-minute walk downhill.

Limited on-site parking is available for a flat fee of £10 covering the entire stay, with alternative parking options advised by staff. The hotel provides 24-hour security with CCTV in common areas and outside, key card access, and smoke alarms for guest safety. Daily housekeeping, a shared lounge with TV, and a garden terrace with outdoor furniture and a picnic area are open to all guests.
