Cheap and cheerful with microwave and toaster
Nice cheap room for 2 nights, loved the added bonus of lounge and garden as well as use of microwave and toaster. No frills rooms, but cheap compared to other places which looked worse. Was very comfy mattress.

Clean and tidy.
Hotel was clean and tidy. I was informed before my arrival that my room of choice was no longer available and was offered an alternative. The room was quite cold when I got there as the weather was poor. There was only 1 radiator for a large room. It did eventually warm up. Parking is extremely limited, only 2 or 3 spaces on the front. I don;t know where you'd park if you can't on there as almost no other parking on the street.

It served our purpose; Not a luxury/ best, but it helped with what we needed for the night's stay; They offer breakfast. Also, there is a garden to eat dinner (outside). They will not provide lunch or dinner. But you can bring your own (food) and consume it.

Nice Little place near the beach
We have planned stay at the hotel for our family of 4. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Great communication. It is short walk from the Boscombe pier so great location. Although there is no kitchen facility in the hotel, there is tea, coffee and toast available to guests in the morning. Definitely recommended. The bathroom in room little bit small but it had been sufficient for the stay.

Clean place but very uncomfortable size bathroom
A lady served us on arrival and she was very friendly and explained every facility they had there. Very clean and organised atmosphere. The unhappy part of it, was that the parking was very tight for three spaces and I had a fear if someone scratches my car. And other huge issue was the joint bathroom and toilet was tooooooo small . Someone can just stand it but can’t move you body around or you’ll hit something around you. Electric sockets are not on convenient place. Sink was in the bedroom, so if you wash yourself, it’ll wet everywhere.

Value for money
The hotel was very basic and could do with a few touch ups here and there but it is clean and excellent value for money. The local area is great and there is a lot to see and do within walking distance from the hotel. It would have been better to have an earlier check in time but luckily there was enough around to keep us entertained. I would definitely stay here again should I come back to Bournemouth.

This place is very clean. I had a rubbish chair in my room, with silly metal legs which spread out when I sat on it (No I do not weigh 20 stone!). It was all okay, I would not stay again, it was just that bit too basic for me. But it was good enough for one night and the bed was comfy. Had to close the window because of noisy neighbours talking outside, but that is just one of those things. Tea and coffee facilities are downstairs. I did not stay for breakfast.

I liked that four people could share the same room. I was worried after booking it as I had read some reviews that the bathroom was shared with other hotel guests but we had our own toilet and shower (The cleanliness of the shower wasn't great). The advert did say there was parking spaces for people staying but there were only 3 which were already in use and there wasn't any on the road nearby. We parked behind another resident but this did mean that my friend had to get up at 7am to move his car. Other than this the member of staff we met was nice and we were pleased with the condition of out room.
