We stopped in Bournemouth overnight at the start of May. Popped into reception on the off chance of a room and they had one (211). Was £100 for room for night and £16 for two breakfasts. The room looked great, however the double bed was very small (and squeeky *blush*) and the walls are VERY thin. There was a double... More

I booked this hotel back in January and managed to get it for £70 for two nights, without sea views. The actual rooms are a decent size and were clean, beds are comfortable and there is plenty of storage space. In your room tea and coffee is supplied. The bathroom is not very big, but is of adequate size, plenty... More
