Was greeted by lovely karl, room was clean but a little outdated, not a concern, only downfall was it was on the third floor which could have bn mentioned when booking as the temperature outside was nearly 35c and rooms dont have aircon, and it was like a sauna up there, we had a 4 year old,so we stuggled to slp at night with just a fan, Bathroom was shared but clean throughtout our stay

Great place to stay

Building had tons of character. The room and bed were very comfy, the wi-fi worked great. The bath was shared but we were there off season so had the floor to ourselves. Bathroom was very clean and all amenities included. Was close to a lovely beach

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.

Made to feel at home, very pleasant atmosphere with quiet stairs. The price of just over £40 was very nice indeed also well positioned in Bournemouth for whatever you need, excellent. Nothing to not like. Would definitely stay here again.
