"Near to the pier, pleasant park and International Centre. Nice coffee in the bedroom on the first night. Too hot, as the heating was on all night, despite the mild conditions."

"Quality stay. Older building with all the charm. Proper personal service. Clean, quiet even on a busy and hot weekend. Free, uncrowded and secure parking so close to the beach and other amenities a huge plus."

"Room was lovely and spacious with everything that we needed, only thing that I missed was a hairdryer but these were available from the sister hotel but that is up across the road "

"Great hotel, Lucy the host was fantastic and the hotel was beyond dog friendly. Appreciated the room upgrade too. "

"This was a wonderful week-long stay for us. Such a nice alternative to a regular hotel... we got to feel like we were borrowing a week of time just living in Bournemouth rather than just being tourists. The place is wonderful, clean and conveniently located. David and Precious are wonderful hosts that were attentive and considerate. We can't recommend highly enough! "

"The hostel is very close (a few minutes on foot) to the beach and to the town centre (important: for the town centre go the opposite way from the way to the beach:) You will get there in a few minutes on foot rather than half an hour or so going in a long circle - as I did with my kids! - the other way). The rooms are very secure with their own individual code to press on a panel. The owners are friendly and discreet and they leave you alone. The rooms are clean and comfortable, if a bit basic...
