10/10 Exceptional

Lovely Host, great location so close to the beach. Comfy bed - perfect for my needs for the night
Tracy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

good overall

I'd go back for sure. Very close to the beach and superclean shared facilities. Room smelled a bit like the room of a smoker but no complains anyway as we had to spend the whole day out.
BELISARIO, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rowan met us at check in and was really polite and helpful, there was free sweets and nice cold drinks, and an offer to help with our luggage, everything was spotless and well organized, would definitely stay again.
Amanda, 1-night trip

Extremely helpful and friendly manager. Altogether a fine one-night stay

Excellent hotel

The hotel was nice and clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful the room we had was really comfortable and we even had a sofa which was good. The only thing that was not good was we had a hair in the bath that was definitely not ours.

Very old-fashioned but has good bedding and delightful service, for the money I would recommend

A lively little find

This hotel was a great little find and reminded me of traditional seaside hotels from yesteryear! Although the room didn’t have en-suite a bathroom was next door offering more space than standard en suite. Also a little kitchenette was a useful addition. WiFi speed could be improved and decor needs a facelift. Shame no longer offering breakfasts. However, the garden was lovely, host very helpful and all in all a very enjoyable experience.

10/10 Exceptional

Good hotel but there is no cooked breakfast now which was a disappointment. Also Ty’s are around in boscombe is very poor felt unsafe
Sandra, 6-night trip

Would stay again

Easy parking immediately outside the hotel, spacious and clean room. Decor a little outdated but that didnt matter for the little amount of time we spent in the room. Nice garden area for smokers. Perfect location for 02 Academy which was just a 4 minute walk away. We would have had breakfast if a cooked option was available. Would definitely stay there again.

10/10 Exceptional

Staff were brilliant very polite (Rowan). For room only hotel had facilities that pass expectation, nice bathroom, kitchen and fridge/freezer for guest use, fantastic garden. The hotel was clean and recently painted. But from the outside it shone like a gem in the grubby area of run down B&B’s! The area was the only down side.
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice and clean hotel. Check in was easy with the guy at check in being extremely courteous and friendly. Room was spacious and clean with everything in it you’d need for a short stay. 30 minute walk into Bournemouth and £12 taxi back. Shared toilet and shower appeared to be for 3 rooms but place was full and I never bumped into anyone else when using it. All nice and clean and shower warm and powerful. Great little find for a reasonably priced short stay. Will use again.
Neil, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

the place is in dire need of renovation and modernization the furniture is dated and looks like 1950`s big bulky stuff that went out with the Ark. the bathroom was again desperate for modernization, the place reminds me of the little backstreet Blackpool lodgins B&B`s and not my cup of tea,do yourself a favour and for the same price stay in a bang upto date Premier inn clean modern and you dont keep wondering whose stayed there before you

2 minutes walk to the Bournemouth O2 Arena Venue

Needed somewhere close by the O2 venue. It is 2 minutes away!!! Reasonable price. Clean & tidy. Helpful manager. The decor is older but in good order. Perfect for my need. No brainer if you are there for a gig...!

shared bathrooms

bed was comfortable and the location was fine with a vehicle, but there were shared bathrooms on the floors...something we wouldn't have chosen. The room was small. There was parking right in front of the hotel. We did enjoy Bournemouth in general

Excelente opção

Adoramos o hotel, muito bem localizado, perto da praia. Quarto confortável, cheio de amenidades e apesar do banheiro ser compartilhado, há pia com espelho no quarto, facilitando bastante.

A good overnight before the Ferry. Small single room, but not basic. Tea/Coffee, TV, small sink, wardrobe - all you could want at a competitive price.

Very friendly greeting when checking in. Room was compact but comfortable with a good sized shared bathroom facility. Was unable to try breakfast as I left early for work but would happily stay again.
