• Pankaj (7/5): It was good. The hotel is old-fashioned, but the staff were awesome. Spacious Rooms. - Breakfast was not worth. Location wise this was a very good hotel. It is a little old building. condition of the floor and the toilet.
• Ekaterina Voralia (8/5): -
• Alfred (7/5): -
• Duha (7/5): -
• Hassan (7/5): Great location, spacious rooms, and very friendly staff - • Excellent location – just a 2-minute walk to the beach and around 10 minutes to the town centre • Very friendly and helpful staff • Good, reliable free Wi-Fi • Spacious and comfortable rooms - Free parking 👌 • No fridge in the room • Bathroom facilities are a bit outdated
• Munasinghe (6/5): Good place to stay with the family whilst visiting Bournemouth. - Room was spacious Age old interior.
• Victoria (6/5): Warm, comfortable and great value for money. - Great location. Friendly staff. Fairly dated property.
• Josh (6/5): -
• Lisa (8/5): -
• Mick (8/5): enjoyable break nice step back in time entertainment every night reasonably priced bar comfy lounge - the hotel staff were extremely friendly the whole experience was enjoyable it was in a good position for our needs breakfast good value parking is free and easy to park room dated but adequate and clean and spacious the bathroom was dated and tired but clean it was like stepping back in time but very enjoyable not really suitable for young couples
• Eunice (8/5): - location of the hotel was spot on very close to everything... beach and town centre. Hotel facilities clean and staff friendly
• Nicholas (8/5): A very pleasant experience - Spacious room and excellent customer care Room was a bit to warm for me
• Marina (3/5): Wouldn't recommend - Location Dirty teakettle and hairin food, no toilet paper on the first day
• Daniela (6/5): -
• Linda (8/5): Very happy although hotel is coach based we were still treated very well as independent travelers 😊 - Friendly helpful staff at reception and restaurant Nothing major but towels weren’t changed only left 2 out the 4 to be
• Chris (3/5): -
• amna (4/5): i was not happy there - location atmosphere and decoration
• Nicola (4/5): One night was enough - We were welcomed by a lovely, friendly, helpful lady on the front desk. The smell of sewage from the bathroom and damp in one of the rooms was not pleasant at all. We mentioned this to a man on the front desk when we checked out but he didn't seem bothered. The main corridors and certain rooms could do with some attention.
• Stephen (3/5): - Bad smell in bathroom. Shabby and grubby.
• Adriana (7/5): Voor een tussenstop was dit een prima locatie. - Fijne locatie,vlakbij het strand. Leuk dat er een bingo en ' live' muziek was voor gasten. Hotel kan wel een facelift gebruiken, maar aan de andere kant is dat ook de charme.
• Rodney (8/5): - The hotel is small, but nice. The staff are friendly and the hotel is within walking distance of the beach. There are all the necessary amenities packed into a hotel room.
• Jayachandran (10/5): Impressive - Very impressed with the stay. Friendly staff, check in was quick. Room was clean and tidy. 5 minutes walk to beach. Sea/beach view from the room. Walking distance to the town centre/restaurants. Free parking on site. Comfortable stay with the family.
• Bob (10/5): - Everything good helpful and friendly staff
• Clive (8/5): Review - Good location, good hotel, would have liked some sort of a headboard on the beds and bed lights were right above our heads which we did bump our heads a few times on. Free parking was a bonus.
• Thomas (6/5): Clean, comfortable, convenient, would stay again. - Solo stay in a single room. Clean and comfortable. Few minutes walk to beach and main pier. Mini supermarket also a few mins away. Coffee tea and kettle, small table fan, soap in shower and at sink, two towels, daily room service. The water heater pipes were slightly noisy at night, but I had earplugs so it was no problem. Full English breakfast (also veggie option) served from 8:15, make your choice of breakfast the night before and it’s on your assigned table the next morning. Cheapest price around for this central location, would definitely stay again. Thank you.
• Joanna (4/5): - Room very dated,needs decorating. Windowsill and curtains all mouldy. Hairs in the bed. Kettle covered in scale. Bathroom so small you hit your head on the radiator as you sit down. Noisy from 630am
• Fatima akther (6/5): - Not bad
• Kulvinder (4/5): - Convenient location, checkin efficient but a dared property with dated family room, poor bathroom, mould effected sealent. The room needed completely updating and renovating. My continental breakfast was an apple, one croissant and an open yogurt....very poor. We won't be going back to the hotel again.
• shaun (4/5): Poor stay at sands - Very poor booked 3 days only stayed 2days put us in a basement room that stank of mould and damp then complained and they moved me and my partner into a room with 2 single beds. Then next day went down for breakfast no table for us. So had to hang around for a table for 25 minutes. Next days breakfast nothing had been put on table. Very un organised.
• Malkeet (6/5): - For 1 night stay with parking and near to beach. Good enough.
• Oliver (8/5): - Comfortable, quiet great location, friendly helpful staff what more do you expect from a cheap cheerful hotel
• Siobhan (2/5): - The quotes and pictures on line are not the same at the hotel( no spa) as stated and the staff just said it was a picture taken from across the road( hotel )so thats false advertisement was not happy with the room tools and rubbish was in our room and we was given another room the breakfast was like a child’s breakfast windows keep rattling during the night all cctv cameras in parking lot was broken and hanging off the walls
• Ryan (8/5): - Staff were excellent and helpful. All we needed for a one night stay and very affordability priced.
• George (8/5): - Good hotel for a couple of days, but out dated though. - opted for breakfast option which was worth the money. - Saff very friendly. - Location perfect. - Parking available and free on site.
• Essam (8/5): - Too high to go to beach
• David (6/5): Midweek break - Midweek break 3 nights. Although the parking was free, it was very tight and double parked and every morning had to wait about 15 minutes to get the car in front moved. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very limited and at a set time 8.30 no flexibility and had to be ordered in advance. Bar prices were very reasonable. The room though was extremely tired, The windows didn't work and could not be opened properly, decor was poor, badly in need of a repaint and would also suspect structural problems looking at the way the window was twisted. Ensuite was clean and fully functional. Generally the hotel was Okay, but rooms need major refurbishment.
• Afsha (4/5): - Property is old. Bathroom is broken .breakfast is not good. Unhygine
• Afsha (2/5): - Bathrokm tub is broken. Found hair in egg.
• Suman (8/5): Good night sleep - Very good customer service. Beds are very comfortable to sleep
• Benjamin (6/5): Okay - Desk service was great, staff are lovely. Room was okay, bathroom and shower were nice. Room went from being really warm to cold and back quite quickly. Furnishing was okay but room felt quite cheapish with the floor being really creaky. Worth the price still.
• Csaba (6/5): Good stay - Nice hotel and staff. Building needs renovating - during our stay it was very windy and the roof was nearly blown off. Couldn’t sleep overnight because of the rumbling noise of the dilapidated roof.
• Richard (2/5): - Our car was blocked in (by an unidentified other resident) for nearly two hours in the morning meaning we missed the recreational activity we had planned. The front desk should have registered all guests' cars on arrival as double parking is always likely there.
• Linda (8/5): - Nice hotel with character in a very convenient location. Beautifully decorated for Christmas in the public areas. Some minor issues regarding breakfast which were discussed with staff and should be easily rectified. Would be happy to stay here again.
• Linda (4/5): Won’t be going again - Hotel is part of holiday group and had several coaches outside hotel. Checking in was fine. Was disappointed with the room and we smelt stale urine. Had to keep window open all night so was disturbed with traffic noise from about 6am. Breakfast wasn’t good and the service was bad. Had to ask for a drink 3 times before getting it. Couldn’t face it again for second day. Hotel insisted on us leaving key when we went out, but on return, reception was unmanned for quite some time. Phoned a couple of times, no one came to reception to answer calls so had to go round to find staff. We were not the only ones waiting.
• Lorraine (10/5): Would stay again. - The staff were all very friendly, happy, polite, could not do enough for you. We booked for 1 night and wanted to stay a 2nd night but the hotel was fully booked so we had to leave.
• Leeann (6/5): - Staff friendly, room was exceptionally hot. Even with the fan on, the bath has broken taps in the sink, and once you turn in hot taps in bath, very hard to turn off.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Very enjoyable! - Great visit.Arrived early ,room was ready so able to access immediately.Staff very helpful and obliging.We only booked bed and breakfast but were able to add on evening meal at reasonable cost.Good choice, 3 courses and coffee.Room was cvery clean and looked to have been recently refurbished.Our request for a high floor quiet room was granted!
• Jennifer (8/5): Lovely hotel - Found this hotel on hotels.com which had high reviews, the hotel itself was located in a great location near to the beach and a large grassed area. The hotel staff were friendly and was clean, but was very dated I did enjoy my stay
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The staff and breakfast were excellent. Th room was very hot. A fan was provided but this didn't help much
• Emma (10/5): Great hospitable staff - The hotel staff were extremely hospitable and kind making our stay seem a bit more special than the norm
• Susan (8/5): Great location. Bedroom tired. - Great location, on site parking. Room 207, next to lift, so could hear every time the call bell was pressed. Room clean but dated. Paint bubbling off ceiling and water stains. Bathroom ceiling had mould signs, and dried toothpaste on the tiles. Toilet flush made an horrendous noise every time it was used. Breakfast served 830 to 9 not a huge window. Great service, food adequate.
• graham (8/5): Sept 2020 - Had a really nice stay. Hotel very busy with coach parties
