Great stay

Obviously an ex-Premierinn hotel, so all the comforts like the great beds. AC in the rooms and a great breakfast. Really good value for money and a short walk to the lovely beach!

The hotel is convenient for a one-night stay. The room was in good condition, though a bit old. The price was reasonable, the car park was good, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Upon arrival, there was no staff at the reception desk. A guest ahead of us had already been waiting 15 minutes, and we ended up waiting an additional 20 minutes before having to call for assistance from the hotel bar. When we were finally checked in, we were informed that the air conditioning in our room was leaking and were advised not to use it. Instead, two fans were placed in the room . However, even with us not using the air conditioning, it still leaked during the night ! The room itself showed signs of neglect—there was a spider web in the corner, the window wouldn't close properly, and the cupboard was covered in dust, suggesting it hadn't been cleaned in quite some time, additionally the lift was out of order ! On a positive note, the receptionist was honest about the situation.. I would not recommend to waste your money here!

Convenient walk to Boscombe beach and short drive to Bournemouth beach. Free parking / generous spaces. Breakfast freshky made a lovely staff service at reception as well as dining staff. Quality as far as bathroom facility could do with some work / referb. Shoert walk to co-op store as drinks at bar are overpriced. Overall a good stay.

Great for our one night stay, staff are brilliant and all very friendly and accommodating, room was massive with four beds, room was.clean was there was a bit of a musty smell at first but it soon cleared after having the windows open for a.while. We had a cooked breakfast which was nice, lady who served us was very nice and friendly, there are also adequate continental options too and nice.coffee to order. Would definitely stay here again for a night if required. We didn't explore the surrounding area as we.arrived late and left early. Parking was great Only frustrating thing was we.kept.driving past it as there's.no.clear.signage to identify the hotel from the road, it just has a tiny sign that's.quite hard to spot particularly at night.

A Quiet Relaxing Stay

Hotel is going through an ownership transition. I asked for a quiet room and was placed in a very quiet corner of the hotel. Plenty of parking. Breakfast was very good. Some areas looked tired, but as the hotel has recently changed ownership, I'll let that slide. Service was very good. Keep up the good work

We arrived just after 12 midday and asked if we can check in on their system but not leave any bags as we were aware that check in was at 3pm. We planned to go to the beach and didn’t want to check in at 11pm (the time we got back) however the owner who was behind the desk with another man said we could check in but the other person kept saying “I don’t think we can” Well maybe try or just point blank say I can’t be bothered no! We were a large group of 3 families in family rooms. We also asked to have our rooms next to each other and yes you guessed it, No! My cousins room, the tap would not shut and the teenagers manning the reception at night didn’t have a clue what to do and so it just ran all night until morning when house keeping came and twisted while pressing the tap down for the water to stop.The owner did say they have just taken over a few days ago and am sure once they have settled in they will put a sign that shows the name of the hotel outside as currently “under new management “ is in big bold words, charter is in tiny almost invisible wording and makes the building very difficult to locate. Outside the reception is written premier inn. The reception is outdated and gives a falls picture of the rooms that are👍 On a positive note . Parking plenty & free . 5 minutes drive from the beach . Breakfast was good and the team worked so hard to try and get all breakfast out at once. . The beds are so comfortable . Air conditioning in the room . Hot shower & tea
