Mirimar Hotel in Bournemouth

Precioso hotel pintoresco con fabulosas vistas al mar. Gracias especiales a Brian por asegurar que mis alergias alimentarias fueran atendidas. Definitivamente volveré.

Fuimos a tomar el té de la tarde con mis amigos y todos estábamos muy decepcionados (habíamos estado antes y estábamos muy contentos) reservado para las 3 de la tarde llegó justo antes. Habíamos reservado y en la reserva pregunté si podíamos estar sentados en la cubierta superior solo para descubrir cuando llegamos que había una fiesta privada en esa zona. Así que nos sentamos en otra mesa y eran las 3. 35 Antes de que alguien nos preguntara qué queríamos, trajeron el té y tuvimos que esperar hasta las 4. 15 antes de recibir cualquier alimento. Elección de bocadillos y pasteles eran muy pobres a diferencia de nuestras visitas anteriores

Our original room, recently refurbished, had a peculiar smell, and an aircon unit near our window which was quite noisy (this was on the first floor overlooking the car park. We asked to be moved and were given a room on the second floor. This room had not been refurbished and was small, needed decoration, new furniture and certainly a new bathroom. The bath was tiny, nowhere to put toiletries, broken fan and dodgy shower controls. On the plus side the parking was free, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the two dinners we had were excellent and we considered them to be good value for money. The breakfast was adequate but some of the alternatives e.g.Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs attracted a surcharge of £5.00. We booked in advance and had a 10% discount on the dinners. Talking to other guests at dinner we were surprised to find that some of them had been coming to the Mirimar for years, some more than once a year! We assumed that if you paid extra for a sea view the standard would be better.

for last 7 years my friends and I have loved dining on terrace at Mirimar hotel. However last week on 2 occasions we had horrible overpriced food at lunch The chicken Cesar salad used to include smoked chicken in abundance with avocado and crispy croutons. Now for 16 pounds it's Little Gem lettuce no shards of cheese no avocado and hardly any chicken pieces . My 2 friends and I thought it disgraceful. A similar state of affairs 2 days later with a 19 pound Steak sandwich : the sirloin was barely discernible amongst the mushrooms in soggy white sandwich toast. Also chips ; if I want thin oven chips I can have these at home. The french- fries used to be really good here. Sorry, but in my and 3 friends opinion penny pinching portions with very expensive prices. We won't be going back.
