Top Sandford Hotel Reviews

THE NICI Bournemouth

THE NICI Bournemouth

8/10 Good
"We were looking forward to staying at the NICI, but unfortunately I donโ€™t feel the experience justified the price. The hotel was around twice the price of some of the other nearby hotels, so we expected a noticeably higher standard. It took us a little while to actually find the hotel, as the building work at the front completely covered the hotel signage. Hopefully this is only temporary, but it certainly didnโ€™t make a great first impression. Our room had been upgraded, which we appreciated, but even so, it was surprisingly small for a hotel at this price point. The towel radiator also wasnโ€™t working, which is disappointing and something you wouldnโ€™t really expect in a hotel charging a premium rate. We were also given a complimentary drink, described as spiced rum. Unfortunately, it was served in a huge glass bottle with a large glass and pineapple straw and, to be honest, it looked more like the remains of an old drink that had been left sitting there than something freshly prepared. Neither of us felt tempted to drink it, so unfortunately the complimentary drink didnโ€™t really add anything to the experience. We didnโ€™t get the opportunity to use the outdoor facilities because of the weather. However, I suspect that the pool and outdoor areas are a significant part of what you are paying the premium for when staying at the NICI. If the weather had been better, perhaps we would have felt differently about the overall value. Overall, the hotel has a nice feel."

"Hotel is located near to the town centre. The main thing is that the parking is free, unlike so many Bournemouth hotels. The rooms are not fancy, but they are clean, functional and have all the facilities you need."

"I stayed here for 1 night with my husband on my birthday. The staff were excellent, expecially Neil the lifeguard in the pool. Disappointing that the sauna was out of order and the gym very small but Neil arranged for us to go to the Haven the next morning to use their pool, gym, steam room and sauna. We had a lovely room with a super king bed and great sea view. The breakfast was good and the dinner excellent."

8/10 Good
"Pretty impressed with this hotel and we would use it again. Staff were absolutely lovely and gave us a great welcome. Even offered us fresh milk on arrival for a tea or coffee. We were also informed about a wedding that was happening but this wasnโ€™t an inconvenience. The room was lovely and had everything we needed for one night; although the room was very warm. The only real issue was paying to park and my car was completely covered in bird poo, and I mean covered when we checked out this morning. Not really the fault of the hotel but Parking was limited upon our arrival due to the wedding which was fair enough, however had to squeeze into a space under a tree will avoid next time when we stay. Our daughter is in uni so we will be looking for a regular place. Love the whole eco ethos of the hotel as well."
