    great location

    Had an awesome stay with my friends! We loved visiting the local beach and the nearby amusement park. The room was clean enough for our needs and great for chilling after our day out. Just be ready for a slight wait at breakfast, but it’s worth it!

    prompt service

    Just an appropriate option for a swift visit in Bournemouth with best value for money ratio. The noisy neighbors were a pain, but the staff did respond promptly. If you're sensitive to sounds, pack earplugs.

    beach access
    friendly staff
    lack of family facilities

    I loved that the location was perfect. it was just a short walk to the beach! My two girls had a blast building sandcastles and splashing in the waves. The staff was friendly, and they managed to accommodate us despite our early arrival.

    My kids wished there were better facilities for families. A dedicated area for kids to play would make the experience much more enjoyable.

    great value
    cramped room

    average but decent value for the price

    I appreciated the friendly staff who were always ready to assist with any request I had I also enjoyed the convenient location since it was just a short walk to the beach which made for pleasant evenings. The room, although small, provided all the essentials and I found it to be great value for my stay.

    The single room was quite cramped with limited space for my belongings.

    I appreciated the spacious family room with comfortable seating, and its location made it easy for me to stroll to the beach. The friendly staff were attentive and made me feel welcome throughout my stay.

    Better maintenance of common areas needed.

    Not the best stay

    We had a family room, but a bit of a mess. The shower mixer was broken, so we had to wash the kids with wipes. Carpet was kinda old, and the place could use a good dusting. Staff were sweet though, just wish the basics were better.

    small room

    the stay was chill, great location just 5 mins to beach! staff were super friendly, and i found a parking spot most days. for the price, my single room was ok for a solo trip, and it was clean too.

    but i had no soap or shampoo, and the room was tiny, like really really basic. also, no breakfast service at all.

    walkable
    cramped room
    stained bedding

    The room was really cramped, not enough space to move around comfortably. I found the bedding a bit stained, which was a letdown. The walls were super thin, so I definitely heard my neighbors. The bathroom was also a bit sketchy and didn’t feel clean at all. On the plus side, the location was decent. I could walk to places easily, which was cool.
