Guest Reviews
- Ivan Santiago (7/5): - The property is OK and the staff are really nice people, but the flatmates are quite messy and the kitchen is usually very dirty. However, I understand that cleaning is the students’ responsibility, not the staff’s.

- Stephen (7/5): Basic inexpensive accommodation - Very basic but great location near bus/train stations. Downhill walk to Bournemouth Square. Unusually good English summer lol. Would have been useful to have a fridge
- Zisi (1/5): -
- Sanchit (6/5): -
- Luis (6/5): affordable stay in bournemouth at student accommodation - the gym facilities were great with new equipment and lots of machines. the room was pleasant enough. it’s a student accommodation, so someone got into my room whilst i was sleeping in the first night i was there, which really scared me. The door lock doesn’t seem to be the most efficient since it works contactless.
the bed was a bit unclean with few hairs on the sheets.
- Michael (7/5): -
- Toni (8/5): - The accomodation was in the center. The price a bit to higher
- Don (7/5): - There was a gym and a nice lounge. Kitchen was handy. It was very good location. I was forced into updating their questions on the website prior to checking in. The guy who checked me in was rude. Didn't know how to say good afternoon. He had inappropriate humour. Bed was uncomfortable as there were no metres topper I could feel the springs.
- Clive (7/5): Good value for money. - Clean accommodation .Tea & coffee are available FOC some days. Walking distance to most places of interest.
- Ruan Carlo (9/5): That was great. - The lady from concierge was a very kind person and support me about some issues. The flat was good. I suppose you should pay more attention about how that is cleaned. Cause when I arrived the shower was dirty and the drain was blocked. That’s the only thing.
- Jesse (2/5): -
- Angie (10/5): Well situated for buses in all directions, spoilt for choice as so regular. It may be student accommodation let for the - Everything. Lovely rooms. 2 lifts. Good Wi-Fi everywhere. Five minutes walk from railway and bus station. Security access. Lots of shops in different directions. The length of time the bathroom fan runs
- Ben (1/5): Room wasn’t cleaned prior to our stay, bugs on the walls, there were clothes leftn the room, bedding smelt of body odour - Nothing The whole stay
- BEVERLEIGH (3/5): I’ll prepared for our arrival - beds not made. - Not much. Bed bugs. One colleague had them last week and another this week. Too much pre check in enquiries and demands.
- Oluseyi (8/5): -
- Grazyna (10/5): Amazing! - Great location, clean and comfortable with great personnel. Thank You
- Badji (9/5): -
- Karolis (7/5): -
- Sudhan (10/5): -
- Richrd (7/5): Good stay - It was very private It was fine
- Malcolm (5/5): I was on a short holiday which was part spoiled by the noisy fan problem. - Location, Oxford Point reception staff & facilities The bathroom extractor fan in my room was very noisy & wouldn't turn off, this ruined my first night (etc) due to lack of sleep - I complained the first evening but trying to get it repaired (after 6pm) was complicated, not done until the following day (was actually faulty & turned off by maintenance); arranging a room transfer was also messed up. Process of initially having to only phone Guest365 with issues is problematic, I found.
- Alina (8/5): Good - New building ,good facilities No kettle and no comfortable mattress
- Fortunato (8/5): Very great stay and quality price. Suggested! - Great location
Good gym
Lovely staff No kettle in the room
- Manish (8/5): -
- Ray (10/5): - The room was very clean & bright. The staff were friendly and informative.
- Robert (6/5): - Dobra lokalizacja i dostęp. Czysto Brak kuchni, czajnika, lodówki, telewizora. Mały pokój bez udogodniej jak np. zrobienie kawy czy obejrzenie tv
- Gwyneth (8/5): Clean, affordable and friendly staff - Staff were friendly and responsive to questions and requests. The room was very clean and when I had a small problem with the shower drain the maintenance person fixed it really quickly. The central patio area is fun and a great meeting place. The only hitch is that if people gather after quiet hours, as they did when I was there, the walls around the patio acts like a well and the noise echoes right up into the rooms facing that direction. Staff and security were responsive though and once I let them know it was happening they attended and moved people along.
Also, the beds and bedding are very basic. That's fair for a student dorm, but if you are fussy about those things, FYI.
- VERONICA (5/5): No volveria - Nos gustó mucho el trato de la gente de recepción con nosotros. I la ubicación excelente. Nos guardaron las maletas despues de checkaut. Sin coste. Nos pidieron un taxi Alquilamos 4 habitaciones para una semana. Teniamos las habitaciones sucias de obra o pintura, un polvo blanco por toda la habitación. Avisamos a recepción y no nos ayudaron al respecto. Aunque eran muy simpaticos.No podiamos dejar nada en el suelo, porque se convertia en blanco. Ducha que no tragaba el agua. Cama llena de bultos ( muelles estropeados). Humedad en la pared.
- howard (1/5): Depressingly awful! - No breakfast A spartan grubby room with a blocked shower, no kettle, no TV and a nasty thin matrass with just a thin cotton sheet over it! Utterly grim, and a con for what it cost me! ....Don't choose this awful place to stay.
- Astrid (6/5): - sauber dünne wände, lift mit nerviger stimme, umständliches buchen, studentenwohnheim halt, küche durfte nicht verwendet werden
- Badji (10/5): -
- james (10/5): Excellent - Clean and tidy and lovely hot shower Nothing to dislike
- Trevor (8/5): Oxford point - In a good position, clean flat. When I arrived I had no bedding and towels, but the reception sorted it for me. The picture they sent me of the outside of the building, so I knew where to go, didn't look like the outside of the building. The door and sign were different
- Guangyun (2/5): Strongly disappointed - Only can check in after 3pm, no place to store baggage.
- Madaleine (6/5): -
- John (7/5): - This is not a hotel, which I knew. It is a student flat, meaning the rooms are basic but functional. Which is reflected in the price. So you get a decent value for your money. The thing that flabbergasted me was the whole check-in. It had more red tape than my visa request for the UK. If you travel on a budget, this is worth considering.
- Anna (10/5): -
- Alex (1/5): Zero communication if there’s a problem -
- Mohammed Amine (10/5): -
- Abanoub (8/5): -
- tt274 (9/5): - great location. no parking but paid options nearby nothing, served its purpose
- Flora (1/5): Don't stay here, it is not properly cleaned. - The room was very unclean and I have subsequently made a complaint. It had not been cleaned properly since that last guest, the sink did not drain, the window was broken. At least there were clean sheets. The forms for checking in and out were excessive, and the size of the room not good.
- Brandon (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff in a great location
- Phil (9/5): - Central to most things in Bournemouth It was good
- David (4/5): OK, but could do better - Location was good and the access fob worked well. I understand that this is normally student accommodation, however, it is in competition with budget end apartments and hotels and i have critiqued it on that basis.
A big drawback here is that there is NO on site presence to deal with issues and problems; you have to use email and chat and that doesn't work at all.
I arrived for a 3 day stay and immediately noticed that I had no waste bin, despite one being advertised on the website and I had half a toilet roll (wouldn't last a day let alone 3). I was advised at reception to contact who I booked with, or guest365, who let out the apartments during non term time. I contacted booking.com customer service and got the usual we'll contact you within 24 hrs spiel - they didn't. I emailed the guest365 contact twice and received no response and used the contact the property communication 4 times in my booking.com account. The property even asked me twice if my stay was OK via this method, and asked if they could do anything, yet they completely ignored my requests. So, the rubbish is piling up on the table and I had to get creative regards the toilet roll.
There is no cup or glass provided to drink from here. There is no kettle, no TV (i can probably forgive them that). There are no hangers in the wardrobe to hang your clothes, and the floor in my room clearly hadn't seen a brush or mop for a while. You get provided one little hotel type shower gel which is good for 1 or perhaps 2 showers, but I was here for 3 days (how about soap dispensers in the showers which they can leave empty when students are here?). There is no aircon or fan, and it was sweltering. You can open the window, which helps a little, but then let's noise in - not much good for trying to sleep. Especially on sat night when there was a party going on in a room on level 5 (one above me) and directly opposite.
- Andres (1/5): Extemely Disappointing - Nothing.. Avoid if you can the customer service was really poor, this is a student accommodation house, it is not a hotel, it is not apartments. The room I was put on didn't have any electricity and it was full of damp, Window did not open, so it was very uncomfortable.
- kurt (8/5): Ich war Sieger bei den British Open, alles andere ist nicht so ganz wichtig 😁😂 - Nah am Bahnhof, Mitarbeiter sehr nett und hilfsbereit Das die Handtücher keine Aufhänger haben und es nicht mal Becher zum Zähneputzen gab, von fehlendem Geschirr ganz zu schweigen. Man müßte sich wenigstens ein Frühstück machen können, dazu ist nicht viel Zubehör nötig.

- Ahatsham (10/5): A great place to stay - The self catering apartment was big, clean, well furnished, comfortable bed, right next to the lift on the 16th floor, great gym with kettlebells, amazing view of the city, 5 mins from Asda, 30 mins from beach, loved it and will stay here again. There was no telly but it is student accommodation so to be expected.
- Jasmine (9/5): Excellent value for money and self-catering stay - The location was great, handy to have a kitchen, about 15 min walk to beach, less than 5 mins to bus/coach station. Very clean, spacious, would stay there again. Having to pay for laundrette and initially didn't have oven as promised but this was sorted quite quickly.
- Natacha (6/5): Disappointed - The people at front desk were very friendly The studio wasn't ready. I never go Wi-Fi, no kettle. Basically, was a empty studio ready to rent for long term staying where you have to buy all the appliances.
