Good place to stay for Bournemouth. 10 minutes walk to the sea front and about 20 minutes walk to Bournemouth sea front and town centre. Room was very clean and the small inside pool was good enough for a few strokes. Would stay again on our next visit.

My actual stay for very good, with a well-appointed room for the price and a good deal for breakfast. My criticism would be not about the hotel, but about Britannia Hotels' system of emailing and texting in the run-up to my stay with urgent messages to book online and 'time running out'. These are poorly worded and tended to cause concern. They just need to be worded better to offer online booking as an alternative if the client wishes, not to cause worry that something urgent needs to be done or the stay will be jeopardised, as that was the feeling engendered!

Not impressed

Initial contact at the reception was poor. Receptionist was to intent on getting my info although I’d already filled in the online forms. Guidance to the room was poor. Was in formed how to get to the room via lift or stairs however neglected to inform me where the lift or stairs where. The room its self was dated, delaminating furniture, loose wall sockets. Door to room had large gaps, strips and seals missing, damage to the hard wood edge and the self-closer did not operate to full extent thus leaving the door on the latch and not closing to completion. The carpet in the corridors was loose and threadbare at points and the corridor fire doors were ill fitting and also had strips and seals missing.
