We stayed here during half term, myself and my 2 children and my friend with her 2 children. Rooms were large, clean and quiet. Service was friendly, especially at breakfast. You can't beat a freshly cooked Full English on a cold morning. Location excellent, right next to the garden, 5 minutes from the beach and the shops, so something for... More

From the warm welcome and friendly service, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Arlington Hotel and we loved the location near to everything overlooking the gardens. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We will return - a good find.

Dont expect 4 star rooms and facilities. This is a lovely little hotel offering Good Food, Fun Entertainment and Friendly Staff. We were a party of 6 prepared to have a good time and we did. The hotel is centrally placed and only 10 mins walk to shops and sea.

Due to some unforeseen circumstances I called the hotel to box a cream tea up for my husband and I as a take away, which I thought was very helpful. (brought via a groupon voucher) When I got home and I opened the box I was very disapointed in the portions. The scones were tiny! The cake was also very... More

My boyfriend treated me to an afternoon tea at the Arlington. The setting was perfect as their garden looks out over the Bournemouth Gardens and bandstand and the band was playing too. We ordered our afternoon tea (we had a choice of tea, coffee or cold drink) and listened to the band playing while we waited. Our afternoon tea arrived... More

I treated my Mum to a surprise afternoon tea for her birthday treat. I left feeling disappointed, due to the small portions served, together with the food being served on a light blue chopping board it made it look cheap. I feel the presentation would have made a lot of difference to the afternoon tea. all the food was fresh... More

I treated myself & my friend to a cream tea at the Arlington hotel/ cafe which I had bought from groupon at a discount rate. We were both really looking forward to this but we were left feeling very disappointed, our cream tea was bought out to us on a blue chopping board from the kitchen, on it were a... More

This is the first time my mother and I stayed at this hotel. It is placed right where the gardens are. The food was HOT and was good value for money. Hotel rooms are just right. There were a lot of mirrors in our room 7 all in all. Not sure what that was all about. I'd like to think... More
