    was a nice room for 1 night. I only stayed there for one night but the bed was comfy. I also liked the support from the staff as I checked in late.

    Bathroom was very cramped, and the shower made a terrible noise, I’m sure the whole house knew when we were showering. Not really any choice for breakfast, it was full English of parts of, nothing else.

    Location was ideal, close to the beach and the town centre.

    I didn’t like being charged for car parking that I didn’t have. It was explained to me upon arrival but then the car park was almost empty and I didn’t expect it. Parking on the road is not a problem but it is when you have paid for it.

    The location and breakfast were excellent and the room was nice but I am not sure what made it a deluxe room.

    Not really a fair complaint because it's obviously an old house but quite creaky, felt bad for whoever might have been below us whenever I walked about. Very narrow bathroom making it a bit awkward to get in and out but again arguably part of the charm of an old building where this has been fit in. Some slightly dodgy DIY repairs/fixings and the bedside table looked like it was ready to fall off the wall but it didn't, everything was actually fine and it was all perfectly clean, so although it's easy to be picky about a few things at face value, nothing broke and nothing caused a problem. The mirror in the bathroom was I think meant to have a light built in but it didn't work.

    Great night's sleep, good comfy bed and sensible pillows (can't stand the unnecessarily puffy ones). Decent cooked breakfast - nothing world beating and if I'd paid £13 for it at the time I'd probably have been a bit disappointed but when it's "included" (slightly cheaper) it's fine and sausages were good. Simple and easy to be a guest there. Good location for buses, town centre and easy enough walk down the hill to the beach.

    It was easy to hear people moving around in the hallway - can’t help that in an old building!

    The guy on the front desk is one of the loveliest, calmest people to talk to, such a great experience from the start. I had a fantastic room with everything I needed, plenty of natural light and space.

    This time some work was being done in the morning while I was really needing a lie-in. It was not very restful.

    I have stayed here a few times. I am always satisfied, the room and bed are comfortable and the general standard is consistent. Good value in Bournemouth for the price.

    My only gripe, and it is a small gripe, is the room was quite dark, even with all the lights on. I think a stronger mainlight bulb would be beneficial.

    The room was well appointed and spacious. Excellent breakfast, with lots of choice. Cooked breakfast was lovely and served hot!

    No hand towels in the en-suite and the water temperature from the power shower was a bit variable but otherwise okay. Would perhaps sample breakfast next time but can't comment on food

    We like the location of the hotel and the Goat and Tricycle pub is just around the corner which is a great bonus. Our room was clean and comfortable. We didn't sample the breakfast as this was not included in the price and it had to be confirmed by 8pm the evening before so we opted to eat elsewhere. The location is good to walk into the town (we usually walk from the train station and stop to say hello to the Bournemouth goats en-route!) It's not too far from the sea front and that is a lovely walk. The hotel kindly allowed us to leave our luggage with them whilst we went shopping and colllected them at the end of the day.

    Being American, not used to the short time heat was on. But at our request, we had it a bit longer. THANK YOU! TOWELS could use replacement but ok.

    Location was great near restaurants and shops. Loved blue light on mirror inside toilet with just enough light to see at night 🌙. EXCELLENT!

    I think the room could have had a hand towel in it for the bathroom so that didn't have to use big towel. I think the breakfast could have had more selection.

    I liked the location as it was very close to the local town centre where the shops and bars are etc. I liked that the room was cosy and that it was a quiet room.
