No restaurant in the hotel. Reception was closed when we arrived (we were early, but worried about parking before we checked in). Rooms were okay, but the furniture was a bit "tired". Probably just about value for money considering a last minute booking in August at a decent location in Bournemouth. ##### James Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### A Sep 10, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Cheap n cheerful A real mix of ok and could do better.. Lovely chap on reception who gave a overview of Dorset and sandbanks. The room had a few issues TV remote missing No towels Window opens fully to a flat roof with staircase so not secure But Beds were ok and room was warm but it was the hottest day of the year Shower leaked Plugs had a smell of drains It was a good location and parking was free It worked for one night as a cheap stay over. ##### A Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Matthew Aug 14, 2025 Walkable to beach and free parking was really good. ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### MOHAMMED Aug 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Could do with a bit more tea and coffee in the room ##### MOHAMMED Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amar Aug 4, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Good reception mr jerry. The beds could do with better quality without attached headboard. We stayed for 2 nights and the bins where not taken out.

The TV was broken, the room was dirty (I found receipts from June this year, snack bags under the furniture, the beds were on bricks, mould in places, not very clean bed linen, the walls were dirty, expired milk). We do not recommend this location! ##### Raluca Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniel Oct 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hospitable and cozy It was great; we’ll stay there again next visit.

The pillow cases had marks/stains on them so slept in the other double bed. The tv wasn’t working, and shower was very small. The wardrobe was decent size but if your staying a few days to a week more hangers for you clothes would’ve been better. My room was on the top floor which was around 2-3 flights of stairs so carrying my suitcase up those was tough, there was a lift but wasn’t working. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bfdd9ba9-e999-4f8a-b2fd-5972fdb7d3e0-1754576236416.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ed4c3ca5-4a93-4d82-9ee6-cadf07dad36b-1754576236370.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/33494e61-de09-4b05-bfc7-0b0771c84036-1754576234807.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3b797ed4-ddd0-467b-b865-da2762f854c0-1754576237804.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Klarna Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Aug 13, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Dont waste your money!
