good overall

I'd go back for sure. Very close to the beach and superclean shared facilities. Room smelled a bit like the room of a smoker but no complains anyway as we had to spend the whole day out.

Great place to stay

Building had tons of character. The room and bed were very comfy, the wi-fi worked great. The bath was shared but we were there off season so had the floor to ourselves. Bathroom was very clean and all amenities included. Was close to a lovely beach

Excellent hotel

The hotel was nice and clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful the room we had was really comfortable and we even had a sofa which was good. The only thing that was not good was we had a hair in the bath that was definitely not ours.

Made to feel at home, very pleasant atmosphere with quiet stairs. The price of just over £40 was very nice indeed also well positioned in Bournemouth for whatever you need, excellent. Nothing to not like. Would definitely stay here again.

A lively little find

This hotel was a great little find and reminded me of traditional seaside hotels from yesteryear! Although the room didn’t have en-suite a bathroom was next door offering more space than standard en suite. Also a little kitchenette was a useful addition. WiFi speed could be improved and decor needs a facelift. Shame no longer offering breakfasts. However, the garden was lovely, host very helpful and all in all a very enjoyable experience.
