Excellent. This is a satellite room-only type of accommodation without reception. Key collection is from the “sister hotel” at the top of the road called Bourne Hall.

The infrastructure was in very poor condition, and the entire place seemed neglected. Our check-in was delayed by three hours beyond the agreed time, which was extremely frustrating. When we finally got to the room, it was dirty and clearly lacked basic maintenance – broken fixtures, dust, and an overall feeling of carelessness. This was by far one of the worst hotel stays I've ever had. I do not recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable or reliable place to stay. ##### Julio Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vangile Jul 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The gentleman who welcomed was friendly and helpful 👏👏👏 ##### Vangile Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Aug 13, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stay Somewhere Else This hotel is absolutely terrible. There are no staff on site, it’s absolutely boiling, stinks and the state of disrepair is shocking. We booked a city view and we were overlooking a horrible dirty old shed in a tiny, messy courtyard. We arrived at five and the rooms weren’t ready even though check in is at 2:00\. The reception area is obviously closed and full of rubbish. There is a massive fridge in the room that makes a very loud humming noise all night, and the walls and ceilings are so thin you can hear people getting out of bed if they are above you. The kettle didn’t work, the curtains didn’t fit, the windows didn’t all open and there is paint peeling off the internal doors. You have to go to a separate hotel to check in as they run about five hotels with the staff for one. Worst place I have ever stayed. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4a7f16d7-7fec-4d85-ab5e-45f6067722f3-1755095752288.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ba6e1399-1fc6-4416-9e56-f307f2064733-1755095750827.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sorin Jul 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Thank you ##### Sorin Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Rob Jun 23, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### AWFUL, AWFUL We arrived and were informed that the room we had booked months in advance was not available. We were told that they had another room in the building next door but one. We were given a key and door code, which did not work, and directed to the hotel. The hotel smelled very strongly of damp and sewage. We had booked a family room, what we got was a tiny room with bunk beds, fairly clean, but tiny. Tiny mirror in the bathroom. Certainly not what we ordered on the hotels website. I went to complain and ask for a room change. Nobody was available. There was a phone number which I tried several times before it was answered. When I explained my situation the guy on the other end could no longer speak English very well at all. We spent until 12:30AM driving around Bournemouth and surrounding areas looking for an alternative. Speaking to other hoteliers, the serenity was well known for doing this. Due to the Isle of white festival and, a big international cheerleading competition, which our daughter was taking part in, no rooms were available at any price Overall, we did not get what we paid for. The hotel was truly awful. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4fc84289-5769-4eaf-94ce-4c9f040d11b4-1750663603035.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rob Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Yvonne Aug 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Worse thing here was our room which is situated the other side of a fire door where there were 2 other rooms. The fire door had no handle on it so for half a hour we were LOCKED IN UNABLE TO LEAVE. In the end we had to alert someone on the street through the window of our room who had to find their way in to where we were. Had there been a fire we may well have lost our lives. Place Needs a serious update. So basic… awful bathroom & shower with no extractor nor window that opened. Very cheap fittings and so old. Whole room smelt musty as no air con nor had it been aired. Only one bulb in centre with switch out of reach of bed. Noisy fridge. Nasty carpet. Nothing nice about this room. Only redeeming factor was the general cleanliness and bed made up well. I feel sorry for the staff who have to work here. ##### Yvonne Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Samantha Aug 30, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Samantha Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Anne Aug 24, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Anne Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amber Aug 8, 2025 ##### Amber Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Foday Jul 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Foday Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Royal Horseguards, London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Royal-Horseguards.h25926.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Copthorne-Tara-Hotel-London-Kensington.h26145.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Ritz-London.h28146.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-President-Hotel.h54995.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Riverbank](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Riverbank.h1183908.Hotel-Information) > > [Bedford Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Bedford.h54993.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza County Hall London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-County-Hall-London.h1742184.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-London-Heathrow-Terminal-2-And-3.h33088275.Hotel-Information) > > [The Savoy](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Savoy.h27158.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clermont London, Charing Cross](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Clermont-London.h5169.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clermont London, Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Clermont-London.h10939.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Westminster-Bridge-London.h3113039.Hotel-Information) > > [The May Fair, A Radisson Collection Hotel, Mayfair London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-May-Fair.h7606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westminster London, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Westminster-London.h914179.Hotel-Information) > > [The Landmark London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Landmark-London.h438653.Hotel-Information) > > [Strand Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Strand-Palace-Hotel.h179.Hotel-Information) > > [St Martins Lane London, a Morgans Originals hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-St-Martins-Lane-London.h470865.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal National Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Royal-National-Hotel.h55001.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Kensington-High-St.h9789.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza Victoria London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Victoria-London.h801796.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Containers London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sea-Containers-London.h8466215.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-CitizenM-Tower-Of-London.h14736047.Hotel-Information) > > [The Langham, London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Langham.h22099.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Fitzroy London by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Kimpton-Fitzroy-London.h21514.Hotel-Information)
