The Charlesworth

Location very good close to the beach

Bad smell in the room, bad smell of pillows, bad smell in bathroom.

The location and the facilities were acceptable for the money.

Cleanliness was poor, dirty bathroom floor, carpet didn't look clean. One of the windows in Room 5 wouldnt close, a light above the bed didn't work. The TV signal was annoyingly intermittent, so each scene that changed the screen went blank for a second so you miss the 1st word of the next person talking. First time put the hot water tap on it ran brown for a few seconds then cleared.

We had a wonderful stay at The Charlesworth. Wendy and Brian were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. The guest house was very clean, peaceful and exceptionally well maintained. Our room had everything we needed and we felt comfortable throughout our stay. We especially loved that the property is both family friendly and dog friendly, which made our trip even more enjoyable. The value for money was excellent and we would happily stay here again. We highly recommend The Charlesworth to anyone visiting Bournemouth.

Excellent location, ease of access, very pleasant staff, helpful, comfortable.

Bathroom door kept coming open..

Warm welcome by hosts. Room was compact & quiet. Comfy bed, slept well. Breakfast not provided - as explained on their website - but several cafes nearby. Convenient location - 5 min walk to BIC and beach; 10 min walk into town centre. Bus stop to rail station on next street.

Room needs some TLC Metal shower caddy is quite rusted and should be replaced. I apprecaite it is functional but not a great aesthetic. Tops of one bedside shelf and main table top have various stains - need to be bleached clean or replaced. Paint scuffs on walls should be (easily) touched up. Drinking water - only tap in room initally produced brown tinted water - quickly resolved by host. But was informed this was not drinking water, so had to buy drinking water each day. Whilst I expect to have to do this in many overseas locations, I don't expect to have to do this in the UK. Suggest the hosts either provide a communal water filter which guest can use to fill up thier resuable bottles, or provide bottled water for each room on a daily basis.

Stained carpet, loose and broken bedside light, poor water pressure, no curtain or blind over top part of window, flaking paint work in shower, tired wall covering , curtains hanging off the rail on a landing , whole place needs refurbishment and upgrading

Whole bedroom was unpleasant

the location is ideal and the £5 all day parking is a bargain.

the whole place had a dirty/funky smell. the first room we were allocated had a blood stained sheet. the extra pillows and blanket were stinky. the next room had a cut-up moldy looking mattress but we didn’t want to bother the lovely lady at the reception so we didn’t say anything. later on, i came back to the hotel with my cousin to sleep in my double bedroom but was greeted by a very angry Brian (the owner) who refused to let us in and was telling us to go away with a threat of calling the police on us. we have this all on recording and told him we’ll wait as the police come and he said i should grab all my things from my room and give him the keys. i said i don’t have anything to get and handed him the keys and asked if i could come in by myself and sleep and he said no and refused to give a refund.
