Conveniently located
Great location for BIC however, wasnt impressed with the room. It was incredibly hot in there, we had to prop the window open with a toilet roll, which meant we had to listen to the traffic and the locals outside during the night. Which coincided with the other hotel residents slaming the doors in the early hours.
The bed was very soft and lumpy, the room was ok overall but needed some tlc - damp marks on the wall, leaky soap dispenser.
Breakfast was basic but did the job.

Lovely stay for an overnight visit. Very close to the high street.
Is a little dated but this time of year it fit the season perfectly giving it a cosy winter feel.
Room was spacious, had everything you’d need for a few days stay. Nice and quiet too

Poor breakfast
Service was floorless
The building was looking old and tired, need a lot of love putting into it.
Breakfast was made with cheap ingredients and not worth the money. We didn't enjoy it at all and only eat a few items. The coffee was undrinkable, orange juice watery.
The food is obvious the food was cooked before and kept warm as was brought to the table in 5 minutes.
So this on top of cheap ingredients and warm food makes this b/fast 1 out of 10

All in all a very nice stay it’s the hotel I always stay at when visiting bournmouth although the facilities and staff are good we didn’t think much of the cleanliness on the communal areas especially all the staircases also the cha hung facilities in the swimming pool and a floor down from the actual pool so it was a bit cold coming out the pool then having to go downstairs to get changed but all in all it was a nice stay.
