shared bathrooms

bed was comfortable and the location was fine with a vehicle, but there were shared bathrooms on the floors...something we wouldn't have chosen. The room was small. There was parking right in front of the hotel. We did enjoy Bournemouth in general

good overall

I'd go back for sure. Very close to the beach and superclean shared facilities. Room smelled a bit like the room of a smoker but no complains anyway as we had to spend the whole day out.

A lively little find

This hotel was a great little find and reminded me of traditional seaside hotels from yesteryear! Although the room didn’t have en-suite a bathroom was next door offering more space than standard en suite. Also a little kitchenette was a useful addition. WiFi speed could be improved and decor needs a facelift. Shame no longer offering breakfasts. However, the garden was lovely, host very helpful and all in all a very enjoyable experience.
