Arrived on Alfa coach holiday on Sat 4th Sept. Hotel looked run down but location minutes from coast and spotlessly clean. Believe closing soon as new owners but staff were very helpful and friendly and the food excellent. Set meal times but it worked and gave us plenty of time for exploring & our included trips. Entertainment repetitive as always vocalists but they were all very good. My single rom was small as I had a double bed but quiet as at the back. Very, very hot first few nights as no air con. Would love to return to Bournemouth and maybe hotel with outside space.

Staff & food excellent

We stayed here 15/21 August traveling with Alfa Travel. The street the hotel is down isn't very nice with lots of other ex hotels turned into flats, the parking around there was terrible the coach driver had to reverse down from the main road between the parked cars to get us there and there is no outside sitting areas other than outside the front door where the smokers sat but  the hotel is what it is 2* and it is up for sale so be kind to the 5* staff. Our room was clean and food lovely and the staff couldn't do enough for us even giving thee son a big box of chocolates and a card for his birthday, we enjoyed our stay.

2* hotel but 5* staff

Came here for a three night stay yes I hear it was cheap what should I expect! Well where do I start, as you walk down the litter covered road I say litter that’s being polite and are greeted by a very tatty looking hotel with ripped net curtains. Receptionist was lovely and gave us our room key. Our double room was I am sure a single size very cramped. Sat down on the bed and could feel the springs but room wasn’t too dirty and towels and bedding clean. I am extremely worried about the shower which is a step up of about 32 cm high, there is a grab rail inside which you can use to pull yourself up as long as you twist to get through the doors which don’t open very far. The walkways are full of cleaning items and laundry bags in the morning so can be difficult to pass if you were to have a Walker or crutches like me.  One very good point the lift goes down to street level although when you stand and wait for the lift at street level you are standing in all sorts of rubbish.  Unfortunately we were unable  to change rooms as hotel was full and we made the most of things. The food was ok and waiting staff very kind.  Our last night we arrived for dinner and our table was occupied by others we were told there was a coach party in and we had to wait for another table to be made up. The corridors were not disabled friendly with lots of steps in odd places.  It’s very noisy at night as well obviously the hotel can’t help this as it’s not a very nice area.  Self drive good luck finding somewhere to park and too be honest you wouldn’t want to leave it outside, we did one night and had the remains of someone’s breakfast on the car roof. Travel lodge car park not too far and is £12 per night.
Windows in room very dirty with birds muck piled onto the outside window ledge. Frames covered in mould.

Yuck and very worrying regarding safety

From boarding the coach to leaving the coach on our return, I can only say good things about our holiday.Devon Towers Hotel is a bit dated, but the quality of care cleanliness and food is second to none. Evening entertainment is good with Bingo and a singe, in my opinion Friday being the best night. The restaurant is very efficient, we were served by a Bulgarian girl and she was a delight,
Alfa Travel of whom we travelled with are well organised and our driver Gary was absolutely excellent and a credit to Alfa.

A Fantastic Alfa Holiday

We booked in on 4 Jul 2021 for six days we tried to have a shower and the door fell apart and the shower was leaking quite a lot underneath.   We reported it to the reception who said they would get someone to  look at it, 2 days later maintenance man came up and said he could fix the door but not the shower, it has been an ongoing issue for 5 years, so every time  we used the shower we had to mop up the water, which to me is not expectable  

Hotel in poor condition

Generally I had a positive experience. 
The good: 
The staff was very nice, helpful and welcoming, the location is good, just 10-15 minutes walk to Bournemouth pier. Breakfast was nice, with good choice and the service was quick.
Generally the cleanness was ok, it felt quite covid-safe (guests are required to wear a mask/face covering whenever they leave their room and use the communal spaces) and you could see hand disinfectant bottles around too.
Our room was nice, the beds comfortable and the sheets clean.
There were no toiletries other than a bar of soap in the room, but you can ask them to the reception, the same is for tea, coffe, sugar and milk, you need to ask at the reception (I guess it is one of the regulations for pandemic and it was totally fine for me)
There was a tv set and wi-fi (if i remember correctly the receptionist said the wi-fi was working only downstairs, not in the rooms, but I am not sure, I didn’t need it anyway so I didn’t use it)
There are just two things in the negative lists:
when we arrived we found the shower-head holder broken and dirty footprints on the shower basin, as if someone had stepped inside it with his/her shoes on while it was wet. We didn’t say anything to the reception, we simply used some tape to attach the shower-head back to the broken holder and cleaned the dirty footprints ourselves.
In the morning at 9am we were woke up by one of the cleaners who entered our room without even knocking. Seeing us, she closed the door apologising and went away (!?!?)
Also for the price we paid I would have expected something slightly better, but I don’t really know the prices of Bournemouth, it was my first time in town, so the town may be an expensive place…?

good experience

A lovely, comfy, safe and relaxing stay for 5 days at the Devon Towers Hotel. Very safe covid precautions throughout. The staff were soo friendly and helpful and the food was plentiful and tasty with good choice. Yes a great stay and close to the beach and prom. Thank you Alfa.

Lovely stay with Alfa Travel

Stayed here for a wk on a alfa coach holiday hotel perhaps a bit dated but no problem very clean and lovely staff good food  I've seen reviews saying nit enough food and cold thats rubbish even read one saying left over food served next day at breakfast impossible as totally different menu we were well looked after kept very safe toiletries tea and coffee picked up from reception in sealed packets sanitizer automatically dispensed from toilet doors on the coach we had our temperature taken daily 

Brill holiday with alfa 

We arrived at the hotel last week,for a getaway before lockdown,the hotel is situated down around 250 yards from the upper promenade which leads down a steep slope to the pier,the hotel is on a busy road,with little parking,we were on an Alfa coach holiday,the hotel has quite a few steps to enter the front door, we quickly found our first floor room ,which was at the rear , spacious and clean,en suite,TV etc,meals were down stairs in the restaurant,lift went down there!all staff were excellent ,very friendly and efficient,I am Gluten free,no problems,food was excellent,even down to cakes with cream for dessert,plus others! Gluten free toast,bread rolls with soup , we had entertainment every evening,and very reasonable bar prices ,you can expect a few scuffs here and there ,but a great holiday !

A Week at Devon Towers.

My son and I recently stayed here.  The hotel was clean and comfortable, food was good, and staff friendly and helpful.  My only criticisms are that the hotel itself looks rather dated, in need of redecoration. The entertainment was limited but I understand that this was only because of COVID restriction and that in normal times is more varied.
