We had a friendly greeting when we arrived. The one thing I didn't like was being asked for a £50 deposit on my key or if I might cause some damage. I think this must be because they have young groups in that have been a problem but this should not be passed on to all their guests. We found... More

The most creaky floorboards in the world, yelling and shouting from nextdoor room, all night bar which was catering for a function went on untill 5.30 in the morning, no sleep what so ever. On the plus side, staff were lovely and the breakfast was first class. More

We wanted somewhere cheap and cheerful to stay for my 20th birthday, which we thought we had found in this hotel. Unfortunately not, in fact our stay here put a rather depressing tone on my birthday... Firstly we were on a tight budget and when we arrived at the hotel we were told there was a £50 holding fee, which... More

Whilst the public areas on the ground floor look as if they have been refurbished in recent years, the same cannot be said for the bedroom booked on the second floor. It might well have been the height of fashion in the late 70's, but it is now very tired, with dated decor, dated and broken furniture, and a dated... More

We stayed here for a one night stay.We found the downstairs of the hotel very modern and extremely spacious.We stayed on the top floor in one of the rooms that has yet to be refurbished. The room was clean and basic but extremely dated but was adequate for what we needed it for, comfy bed, which always helps!! The buffet... More

Staff helpful and friendly. Good location and problem free parking. Room clean and plenty of space to move around. Evening meal included a free drink and was very good as was the breakfast. The themed areas added an extra dimension-loved the 30's music while we ate and the Sherlock Holmes lounge. Would definitely stay again. More

Stayed here for one night as this was the nearest available hotel to Bournemouth town centre(ten min. walk).Reasonably quiet street with plenty of off road parking. The hotel isn't very attractive from the outside (red and white) and doesn't blend in well with its surroundings.However, inside the staff were friendly and the place was clean. It has a decent modern... More

I found 'Celebrity' on a hotel site on the web, read reviews and saw photos, so I booked. It was a weekend to see the New Forest. There was adequate off-street parking, the road outside was pay-for parking so it was very handy. The room was very clean, beds comfortable, there were supplies of tea and coffee and the TV... More
