Booked a small double room pretty much last minute so did not expect much. Arrived just before midnight and night porter was able to check us in. He was friendly, helpful and efficient. Also had to pay 10pound for parking but you have it for 24hours so useful if you want to leave the car during the day whilst you visit the beach and town. The room is small but newly refurbished and more modern! It's clean. Shower has good pressure and we slept well. Check out was efficient with the 3 friendly reception staff. Able to answer questions and knowledgeable about Bournemouth activities and eateries. 15minute walk to the pier and beach. Definitely value for money and would recommend. Will come back if I'm in the area again.

The rooms were absolutely lovely, however please note there is no room service during your stay but you can ask for extra toilet paper, towels or tea and coffee from reception. Reception is manned most of the day so they are there to deal with any requests or assistance. There was an issue with our room card on the last day because there was a mix up with which day we were checking out but it was resolved very quickly. Parking is £10 per night and I never had an issue with getting a space no matter what time I arrived back to the hotel at.

Checked in for 2nights, the ladies at the reception are very lovely and polite and always willing to help they let us check in couple of hours early as the room was ready. Family room nice and clean, bathroom was clean too plenty of toilet rolls towels tea coffee. Beds are not that comfortable but great for the price your paying. Location is great a short walk to the pier and lots of places to eat just 5mins walk away from the hotel. most places were Halal so a bonus there. didnt realise there was a microwave by the corridor which was a surprise managed to warm up some food

Stayed here as was seeing Micky Flanagan and was a great hotel. Friendly staff, clean large room and decent sized bathroom. Excellent location only 5 mins walk to beach, 10 to the BIC. Had no problem with paying for parking,£10 for 24 hrs is a bargain, bet you can't find cheaper in a public one plus was allowed to leave car after we checked out while went to town as it's for 24hr not per night. Honestly don't understand these reviews, if your expecting 5 star white glove service for the price then you are deluded, it's clearly a budget hotel but is no where near as bad as some make out.

Great hotel, amazing staff and extremely clean throughout. Room was lovely and comfortable beds. The air conditioning was a massive hit too. 100% recommend and will be returning without a doubt. Bar and restaurant in the hotel as well. The staff are so helpful and so polite. We asked for extra coffee cups and spoons, returned from being out for the day and they was put on the table in our for us. Close to the beach, restaurants and town (walking distance)

At first did not like this hotel, it definitely needs a spruce up in places such as carpet cleaning and shower heads could do with replacing. However by the end of the week I could see it's good points also, free WiFi that actually was not terrible usually, comfortable bed, free parking and a convenient central location and the staff are friendly and helpful when around. However usually when we got back in at night between 9 and 10pm there was nobody on reception if we needed milk or toilet roll. However the gentlemen from the restaurant was usually helpful for some fresh milk in a jug so not all bad.

Stayed several times and very pleased with the overall experience. Late check in is great and staff are lovely. Rooms can do with a slight makeover and it's disappointing to see most big doubles lack air con, which doubles as a heater in the cold winters

Hotel was clean and tidy, reception and bar area good. The staff were excellent. Our room was clean and the bed extremely comfortable. We had a small room but we booked late and there was still plenty of space to get dressed ect. My only comment is that the TV was so small I honestly could barely see a thing but it's definitely better than nothing. Good location and parking too.
