Fantastic Stay Perfect Location Near the Beach! I recently stayed at this hotel in Bournemouth, and I had a wonderful experience. The location is amazing, just a 5-minute walk to the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the sea and the beautiful views. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The staff were all very friendly, especially the receptionist named Ajeesh, who was welcoming, polite, and always happy to help. He really made me feel at home. The hotel is also close to shops, restaurants, and local attractions, which made everything very convenient. If you’re looking for a peaceful, well-located place near the beach with great service, I highly recommend this hotel. I would definitely stay here again!

Bit noisy. Guess you cannot account for fellow guests. Location A1 for beach, shopping and eating if prepared to trek a little. Why the £50 deposit.... Told it will be returned. Here's hoping. Otherwise staff kind and attentive especially on checking in and out.

My stay was okay, but didn’t sleep too well because I was scare the window in the room does not close. And in the toilet there is a stain which looks disgusting. If you put a lot of bleach it can leave the toilet clean. Otherwise the reception people were so friendly and helpful. Thanks

Cheap but still not worth it.

The staff that check me in on arrival was pleasant and wonderful though i had to wait for about 20min. Property was dirty, old building. There was a dried on what looked like vomit on the inside door of lift. Wifi was not free, have never paid for wifi in a hotel before, was shocked to hear that. parking was expensive. Not going there again.

Friendly staff. The bed and sheets/ towels were a good standard. Had to buy teabags/ coffee from reception. The tea didn’t taste nice. Wi-Fi wasn’t included so we didn’t buy it. There was no breakfast which was disappointing. They made an excellent curry in the evening which we bought separately. Hot water was not always available. Sadly we wouldn’t book again.
