The Nici

The hotel was beautiful, pool warm and staff lovely. Restaurant wasn’t up to standard but cocktails really yum.

Hi , just wanted to say had a delicious set lunch yesterday, for me the star was the excellent pannacotta - Thankyou for sharing recipe. I will be back when the main menu changes which we were told it shall be soon. Thanks again for a good lunch - thank fully have now found somewhere in Bournemouth worth coming to and can recommend.

We had high hopes for our stay given the lovely room overlooking the pool and the price we paid for it. But it didn't live up to expectations. We tried to go swimming in the indoor pool but the surroundings of it were too dirty to risk it- it was a busy weeekend but this area should have been cleaned regularly. Our first major disappointment was dinner. Our pre dinner drinks order took 30 minutes to fulfill. When our mains finally arrived, 3 out of 4 were cold. Finally, the rooms are very poorly soundproofed. Our neighbours were loud and the noise led to a very poor night's sleep.

Absolutely flawless stay. Check-in was swift, the team friendly and professional. The service was like that of royalty. The rooms are newly refurbished, spacious suite beautifully decorated with stunning, breath-taking sea view! An outstanding restaurant, bar and terrace outdoor heated pool is just unbelievable and access down on to the beach. They also have beautiful spa with indoor pool. The most incredible stay in Bournemouth. We'll be back!

Had a lovely stay , but disappointed with the cold outdoor pool although a wonderful view spoilt by constant noise from a restaurant being built in the gardens, bit of an eyesore alongside the pool. Can’t imagine it will have the same feel once built . Staff were lovely & food, cocktails too.. indoor spa nice

Stayed for one night at The Nici on a Friday in April in a standard room. Parking was easy and we arrived to a very luxurious and beautifully styled property. Check in was smooth and the room was spacious and finished to a very high standard. The spa was very relaxing and we will return for treatments for sure as the whole spa had a very high end feel. They also have an outside heated pool which not only looks stunning but gives the whole place a very resort feel. Dinner was great with a fab vibe in the bar & restaurant. I think they also have another bar and restaurant on the way which we can’t wait to try. Breakfast was as good as it gets - everything tasted so fresh and service was excellent. Truly 5* and we can’t wait to return.

Hotel has a fantastic decor with soft jazz music played throughout. Beautiful swimming and SPA facilities , massage therapist had applied one the best techniques I experienced so far. Room was spacious with very comfortable bed and power shower. One of the best customer service I experienced , staff is friendly, helpful and professional. Exceptional welcome by Susanne, Marzena from housekeeping was very helpful and compliments to whole breakfast team for always friendly welcome and helpful attitude. I wish Spa reception team would improve to match their colleagues friendliness and effort. Housekeeping team deserves recognition as lead colour of interiors is white but its all spotless and clean Breakfast food was nice overall. Surprised to see hotel serving cortado and it was actually nice ( some London best baristas can not make proper cortado so compliments here) Tasty porridge, avocado eggs, nice to see chia seeds, goji berries and coconut yogurt being served. Overall perfect stay but few improvements are needed. Room temperature was set to max 24 degrees and fan was weak so I was cold at night. I was informed on checkout it can be increased from reception, should have asked but it should have not been limited in a first place. Cocktail ingredients and tonics can be improved to incorporate more artisan brands Building works outside were an obstacle to enjoy outside space but gladly indoor lovely pool and spa made up for it Hard to tip therapist at Spa, lack of knowledge from reception so I gave up at the end. Shame as Merita deserves recognition for one of the best massage technique. She has great skills and talent One of housekeepers has bad habit of placing toilet paper on toilet brush holder instead of actual paper holder which is next to it- unhygienic. This needs addressing. Breakfast is nice but Lunch / Dinner menu needs step up and improvements. Despite few hiccups I have had very enjoyable stay, great facilities and fantastic, polite and friendly staff - they are true credit to The Nici

The best most underrated hotel I’ve been to! Honestly I was amazed at how much thought went into the decor of the hotel. Luxury and modern! The spa was a little busy but still had a great time, plenty of lounge beds by the pool side. The rooms where lovely and clean and the bed was comfy. The breakfast is a buffet but still very fresh.
