Park Inn by Radisson Bournemouth

Quiet, safe location, with ample parking (although it costs an extra £10 a day!) & close to the beach (although quite a trek into town on foot). Clean spacious room & we were upgraded to one with a lovely big balcony. Plenty of storage space & big comfortable bed. Nice big, easy to use shower & free toiletries.

Visited during the record temperature heatwave in late June & there’s no air con at all in the hotel. A fan is provided upon request but not really effective. Room was like a sauna! TV in our room didn’t pick up any channels (reason we got a room upgrade!). Wi-fi drops in & out all the time. No fridge (I really don’t understand why modern hotels don’t have even a small fridge in each room for milk, water etc!?). Swimming pool empty, but looks like being worked on. No TV in the bar/conference room which would’ve been a great place to watch the World Cup. Some of the staff seemed pretty aloof & unfriendly, for example when we checked out the guy on reception didn’t even say thankyou or goodbye.

Location was great

It’s was one of the hottest day and the hotel has no air-conditioner and also the room being a carpet room that’s already hot didn’t have a fan available until we complaint

Nothing

The room was dated, dirty, stained. The shower was so small you couldn’t move without turning the water off. Cupboard under the sink was broken. Incredibly hot, no air con and 1 fan that was useless. Swimming pool was empty. Water pressure was awful, both shower and sink spluttering and the water was yellow!

The reception staff and bar staff were excellent. There was fault Te.porary) with lift which was sorted a d a free breakfast offered whi h I declined very keen to please. Room plain but comfortable. Lots of very hot water.

The only food available at night was a buffet aimed at coach parties. There was not much left after they had had their fill .again reception staff compensated.

The staff

Very dated and felt neglected

Clean room

A bit hot during the heatwave

Staff were excellent

No air conditioning. In a heatwave the rooms were extremely uncomfortable to the point of being detrimental to health.

It’s close to the sea.

It was extremely hot. There was no air conditioning, no fridge in the room, and the windows wouldn’t open. We couldn’t sleep all night and felt like we were being cooked!

Nothing

Old and very hot. Poor staff and the room was tiny and very very hot
