Near to the pier, pleasant park and International Centre. Nice coffee in the bedroom on the first night.
Too hot, as the heating was on all night, despite the mild conditions.

Easy helpful check-in, room small but well equipped and very clean. Short walk to the beach in one direction and a short walk to restaurants, pub and grocer in the other.

I had two separate rooms. Staff were polite and rooms were clean - however, both rooms had no heating (January!) and windows were not closing properly, so it was freezing cold all night. I had to be up early and at 6am there was no hot water and so I couldn’t take a shower. Music was played in reception downstairs late and sound insulation is poor in this place, so if you are looking for a quiet and early night you won’t get it at this hotel. Overall - very disappointing

Good value, friendly staff
The staff are super friendly and helpful, overall good value for the room. Very slight smell of damp, probably due to being basement (although did have big wondows onto a small private courtyard so was light and airy) but otherwise in pretty good condition and fairly generous size room.

Small room for small price, good for quick getaway
The hotel is ok for quick get away, no luxury holiday. Room was very drafty, cold at night. Small room for a small price so satisfactory and served its purpose. Shower screen was bit mouldy at the bottom, but overall cleanliness was no issue at all. Booking email wrongly states that you can buy a breakfast for £10 per person, they do not cook at all. Plenty of places to eat near by.

I arrived early, as I'd seen that parking was limited, so I arrived at 12pm to ensure I would be able to park,he helped with my bags put them away for me and checked me in, and said come back for the key later, so saved me time later, room was ready an hour early, very obliging.
The furniture in the room was a bit tired looking, but functional!

The two young staff on the front desk were lovely. The location of the hotel was perfect for what we needed. However, the condition of the hotel really needed a refurbished. Peeling paint, marked grout in shower etc. Be warned, this is advertised as a hotel with parking. What they don’t tell you is that you can be blocked in and have no way of getting out (I was lucky as managed to track down a guest who was able to move one car so I could escape!). This hotel just needs some tlc!!!

Happy
Check-in was perfect and very accommodating with parking. Room was fit for purpose and as I was only staying a couple of days, it was perfectly functional. Some other guest were a bit noisy; somone banging on the door at 5am when they can't operate the front door as they're getting in from a night out. You're given a door code to get in, but obviously not everyone functions after a couple of drinks and another room with a loud TV early in the morning. Not the hotel's fault though and you get it everywhere.

The photos on Expedia do not reflect the reality of this hotel today - or I guess for many years.
There’s no breakfast offered, the room could only be described as “pretty grim”, the shower and bathroom were musty and dank, and reception was almost always unmanned
To be fair the bed and towels were properly clean, which is the most important thing about anywhere - but that’s a pretty low bar really, not a selling point.
If I’d paid, say, £40 a night and had seen real photos so I would have known what to expect it would have been OKish - but that’s not really what this website (and some of the reviews) led me to believe.
Very much at the bottom end of budget accommodation in Bournemouth - which, having stayed at a few places in my time, is really saying something.

Room smelt of stale cigarettes
I booked 2 rooms , 1 of them for my 17 yr old granddaughter, i did ask if we could have rooms close , but 1 was on the top one was on the ground floor , when we walked into my granddaughters it smelt wonderful and was nice and clean , but when we went up to ours it smelt of stale cigarettes, was awful i opened both windows , the shower made such a awful noisy, the quilts were made for summer so we all were so very cold , i was very disappointed, was ok for the one night , if we were staying longer i would have complained, close to the beach and amenities, but would not book again

We booked a cosy room and it was a disgrace. A few years ago, we booked a room in this hotel, and it was a lovely, clean place; therefore, we decided to book again this time. Perhaps we had a different type of room years ago. Unfortunately, it was a mistake.
The room is so small that it is like a matchbox, and you can say single room; however, with a double bed, there is nowhere to hang your clothes, we couldn't even bring our luggage as literally no space. Mould everywhere, the bathroom is very small, and water pressure barely exists. Nowhere to put your washing stuff and nowhere to hang towels, even.
There is no AC or fan. Luckily, we had a fan with us, so we somehow survived.
At the entrance, there was blood on the floor, which no one bothered to clean up.
There is free parking; however, the narrow lanes between the cars, and once you park, you can't get out of the car, and since we have SUV, we parked and paid elsewhere for safety reasons.
Unfortunately. We do not go back there anymore.

Pluses and minuses.
On the good side, the bedroom was clean, the bed was comfy and I slept well. The staff I saw were attentive, the room was cheap, the area was quiet enough and there were great restaurants close by. The bedroom has a great tv. The hotel is close to the beach and the town centre.
However, I have never been asked to pay a damage deposit before. What kind of guests do you get? I am ten years in the hotel trade and I have never had to charge a guest for damages. If I had understood this before I had completed the booking I would not have chosen this hotel.
On the down side, the bathroom had black mould. The room was not serviced during my stay. The hotel does not offer a breakfast. The bathroom fan did not appear to work and the bedroom window did not fit airtightly. The hotel looks tired.
Overall, I got five nights decent sleep and an enjoyable holiday. I suppose I was a bit naïve about what my money would buy in a resort like Bournemouth.
