Russel Court Hotel Bournemouth Central

Cheap & cheerful

All good but could of done with sone tea bags milk and sugar for tea to use the kettle as we had to buy these areselfs

Given the price and the warning from the site that refurbishment was required, we weren't expecting too much. Sadly, things were even worse than expected. This place is way past its' best before date and although the price may look cheap, by the time all the extras are added on it would be just as cheap to stay somewhere much nicer. Extras.??? Well, let's start with £12 to park the car. Although a kettle is provided, tea and coffee and milk is EXTRA, leave by 10a.m. or it's £10 per person per hour to be paid. Leave your luggage before check in..? £2.50 per item. You have to leave a £50 card authorisation in case you....... I don't know what.! There is a TV in the room but when we arrived and settled down for a bit of TV before bed the choices were BBC news, ITV news or two other choices of Al Jazzera. This place is stuck in the era it was last updated... the 1960's.!!!

Really cheap, and clean but the equipment and furniture is quite worn and basic. However we were really happy with the value for money and would defiantly book again.

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly very close to beech and the center. Enjoyed my stay 👍

A one night stay for two , There was one Towel. One Dirty Cup. No tea bags ,coffee or milk! We chose this 1 night stay because it was Cheap, we left our Room by 10,am as stated ,And went down to Recption to ask where we could get a coffee, the Receptionst was in a row with a customer so by the time we handed keys in was maybe 10,15 maximum , we left without a hot drink ,And to my horroh they had charged me an extra 20 Quid for a late check out!

I stayed in the hotel one night only what I paid in advance. On checking in the owner asked for £50 deposit for TV what made me feel like criminal. However I paid it. On the morning when I checked out I asked about my tv deposit and he told me that I will get it in 10-12 days. 20 days later I wrote to ask the deposit and got answer that it was pre-autorisation so I shouldn’t expect any money back. About the cleaning and furniture - this is the worst hotel ever I have been in my life. Dirty, noisy all the night, no light in the room, bad service and scam. Avoid it.

Sadly, i wouldnt recommend this hitel. There are far better in Bourenmouth at a lower rate. It felt like an HMO for council tennants. The room smelt of cigarette smoke. I left at 0630hrs because i just wanted to be out of there. The guy on the desk when i arrived was very engaging and humerous.

The room (no. 219) was fine though the cold tap often ran warm/hot. Your hotel suited me well. The staff were friendly.

Friendly staff although the hotel does need a little updating but you are pre-warned of this. The rooms are clean and it is in a great location and ideal for a weekend trip.
