Comfortable, budget horel in good location
The hotel is in a good location to get to the town centre, although the walk is uphill to the hotel which could be a struggle for some. You can see the sea from right outside the hotel, and you can get food next door at some sort of restaurant (I didn't look closely). The room was clean, and the front door closed at 11pm, so it was quieter at night than many hotels I have stayed at. Equally it was quieter in the morning- I was up at 7am, but didn’t hear any others before then). It did have a very squeaky bed but it was comfortable to sleep on. It is a budget hotel; it met my needs.

Dear Tina, Thank you for you rating and review. We are on the fair review side. Just to let you and all readers to read, breakfats at the hotel carried out if any guest actually book any breakfast. Your booking did not include breakast and you refused to book your breakfast at the check in with the reception. We are very flexible in terms of rooms and services and amenities. Regret to hear your comments now, after you departed, alternatively, we could swap the room or simply change the kettle . Kind Regards

Poor stay!
On first arrival the hotel seemed to be a decent budget hotel, however the room was not as we expected. The walls had been poorly repainted, the bathroom was so small that the sink had to be put in the bedroom, the shower did not work properly, looked as if it should have been a rainfall shower, but maybe only 4 of the shower holes actually let water out. The bed looked comfortable but dipped in various places, the springs stuck out and dug into the body. The floorboards creaked above us, and the tv was very small for the size of the room. Overall we had a very poor nights sleep, so ended up calling it quits and leaving the hotel a day early to avoid another poor nights sleep. When we checked out early, we were not asked why we chose to leave early or if we had enjoyed our stay.

Hello and thank you for your rating and review. Fair point about the shower, as we always notice when several rooms are decided to have / use shower / sink at the same time during peak hours of morning from 08:00 - 10:00. Otherwise, all good with shower during the day. Hope to see you soon again, Kind Regards

Pleasant basic hotel
One night stay after going to a concert at the BIC. Chosen for convenience & price. It is just a 5 minute walk from the concert venue. Staff pleasant & helpful. Single room had the basics needed for one night - Wifi, TV & a good supply of tea/coffee, though a bigger cup would be nice (small point). Downside, the room was in need of some TLC, but fair for the price. Unfortunately I forgot to report the shower before I left, which had not pressure, but was just enough to manage...

A clean, good sized family room, very comfortable, very near beach. Pleasant, informative owner. All in all very good budget place to stay,no major frills, these weren't expected or needed for us. Accepted Dogs, a must for us. £10 per dog, very reasonable really. Breakfast was available but we did not need. Bar small and adequate. One or two noisy guests but was for a short time and d8d not affect our stay. Parking is limited but a reasonable car park is very close too.

Hello and thank you for your rating and review. Just to let you and all readers to know. This hotel is open for the public therefore we welcome any guest or group bookings whithout of prejudice. Hotel had night porter on duty, therefore, if any issues come up, we expect the guests come down or call the night porter so he could tackle the noise or room swap if it had an issue with the shower at night. Hotel management had no reports from the night porter on the night you stay with us. Kind Regards

Did the job perfectly
Very friendly staff. Allowed us into one of the rooms early as it was ready. Perfect location. Was lovely to have our rooms next door to each other (thoughtful). Only down side was the rooms were very hot had to sleep with windows open and traffic was a bit noisy, however nothing to complain about. Would be happy to stay again.

Very bare bones hotel. Expensive for what you got, and we had to ask to get the sheets replaced as we arrived... It did the trick for visiting friends for one night, but I’m sure there’s much better around.

Only unless there's nowhere else to stay!
The parking for £10 is very steep, the hotel entrance is the only tidy thing about the hotel, very unprofessional, awful service, no WiFi, poor layout of things to do within the hotel, no food offered for evening times, bedroom itself was poorly painted, wallpaper peeling, bad paint work everywhere, beds like rock, windows filthy and the TV was in a foreign language which was set by the hotel.

Hello and thank you for your rating and the review. We are on fair review side, therefore, just to let you and all readers to know. Parking in most hotels in Bournemouth are above £10.00 per person. Our parking is fair and we are sure public car parking in Bournemouth will be more that £20.00 a night. "Very Unprofessional, awfull service" - this is very broad and not specific. Would valid point if we had exactly, what went wrong with these points. We are here to help with 24 hours hotel personal available and hotel manager available on the phone. We are professional on what we do and this includes the hotel customer care and servicess. No many hotel do go through all hotel rules when you arrive, but put the leaflets in the room. Not many hotels are recommending local hotspats, entertaintment and meal options with near restaurants with discount. Hotel has a free Wi-Fi and we mentioned this to you on arrival and on our Weloming message in the room. Just needed to ask from any member of hotel if you were not sure. Hotel layout and design are purely subjective, this is what we are and we are clearly displaying all our hotel picture accross the internet. We never promise an evening meal to anyone here at the hotel. In this you are right, we do not provide an evening meal. But, we have lots of wonderfull restaurants recommendations that you can access easily in just 1 minutes walk. All in all, shame to see you mentioning a combination of lots of things. We believe, if genuine, person is not happy with anything at the hotel would come back to the reception but unfortunately in you case this did not happened. We could happily swap the rooms if you did not like the room. We believe, if person arrived, used the services we offer and sleep overnight and check out without mentioning... Kind Regards

Acceptable, clean, tidy but basic
Staff very helpful and friendly. Parking was expensive at £10 per night when there are lots of cheaper places to park locally. Loads of stairs to our attic twin room, which was a good size and freshly painted but very basic. TV in the room did not work and it was late when we arrived, so couldn’t be bothered to climb down snd back up all the stairs to report it. Generally clean, tidy and welcoming, but I wouldn’t use this hotel for an extended stay…one or two nights would be enough.

Dreadful. Rude staff. Had to pay extra to park in their car park. Had crap coming up the shower when we used the sink. Wardrobe ready for falling on someone, isn’t tethered to walk. One of those where they want a photocopy of your diving licence and credit card but I doubt very much they understand GDPR. Avoid. There’s loads nearby that are probably better.
