No restaurant in the hotel. Reception was closed when we arrived (we were early, but worried about parking before we checked in). Rooms were okay, but the furniture was a bit "tired". Probably just about value for money considering a last minute booking in August at a decent location in Bournemouth. ##### James Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### A 10 Sept 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Cheap n cheerful A real mix of ok and could do better..

I want to stay here again at bournemouth trip. ##### Manami Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Raluca 11 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room is not the same as the one advertised on their website. The TV was broken, the room was dirty (I found receipts from June this year, snack bags under the furniture, the beds were on bricks, mould in places, not very clean bed linen, the walls were dirty, expired milk). We do not recommend this location! ##### Raluca Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Marina 15 Jun 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The room was very dirty ##### Marina Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Klarna 7 Aug 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The room was a good size. The pillow cases had marks/stains on them so slept in the other double bed. The tv wasn’t working, and shower was very small. The wardrobe was decent size but if your staying a few days to a week more hangers for you clothes would’ve been better. My room was on the top floor which was around 2-3 flights of stairs so carrying my suitcase up those was tough, there was a lift but wasn’t working. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bfdd9ba9-e999-4f8a-b2fd-5972fdb7d3e0-1754576236416.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ed4c3ca5-4a93-4d82-9ee6-cadf07dad36b-1754576236370.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/33494e61-de09-4b05-bfc7-0b0771c84036-1754576234807.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3b797ed4-ddd0-467b-b865-da2762f854c0-1754576237804.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Klarna Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geoff 29 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent for a visit to Bournemouth.
