Sea views and good location
Fabulous location with sea views, beautiful gardens overlooking the sea and a few mins walk to the beach, just 10 mins from the pier. Although the hotel is very dated in decor, you’re really paying for the view and great hospitality. The building has a beautiful Victorian staircase, and a traditional feel. The room was functional but needs updating. Shame there were no toiletries other than hand soap in the bathroom. A little shampoo could be included in the room rate. Free parking and ample space in the Carpark. The owners were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was extra but very nice and sustained us for the day. I’d stay again. Great location and hospitality!

Check in easy and quick with charming friendly staff. Breakfast good and plentiful with lots of choice. Room was a little dated but very clean with gorgeous sea view. Draught beer in the bar would be a great addition!

Don't expect a Palace
I paid £24, so I wasn't expecting a palace. I didn't get one. The building is old and tired - I've no problem with that, I use an old building in Berlin regularly. The stud walls used to split up the old rooms meant I could hear people in adjoining rooms to my left, and I could also hear people upstairs. The TV didn't work properly, and the wi-fi didn't work at all. I need to be back in Southampton / Bournemouth soon, but have no plans to return to this hotel - but again, £24 vs over £100 in Southampton when I was booking

Charming hotel with great location
Wonderful Hotel and very helpful staff! Calm area close to the beach and a nice walk in to the city centre. The interior is a bit dated, but that is only part of the charm! Astounding view of the sea. Spent four nights at the hotel and would definitely stay here again when visiting Bournemouth.

Hotel de médio padrão.
Quarto pequeno,mas o suficiente para uma pessoa que está de turismo e fica pouco no hotel. O complicado é a pia que fica no quarto fazendo o quarto mais apertado. Local muito bom. O banheiro tem sua deficiência mas dá para satisfazer por uma semana. O serviço é bom. As pessoas prestativas e educadas.
