They had no record of my already fully paid account. Great stress and anxiety. Cold room at night as they turned the heating off, and only a summer quilt in the winter. No hooks in bathroom for towels. No replenishment of tea and coffee for 3 days. I will not stay there again

I know its not 5* but you still expect a clean room and bedding! Room was dirty... coffee stains on side... steins all over carpet and cabinet Bedding had marks on it Curtains didnt close Tv lost signal constantly When i addressed this with the owner i was told it wasnt unclean because they had checked when no one had been to look Was very rude to me

4.0 / 10.0

The room is not the same as the one advertised on their website. The TV was broken, the room was dirty (I found receipts from June this year, snack bags under the furniture, the beds were on bricks, mould in places, not very clean bed linen, the walls were dirty, expired milk). We do not recommend this location!

6.0 / 10.0

Not enough parking slots, staff not available all the time.

3.0 / 10.0

The room was a good size. The pillow cases had marks/stains on them so slept in the other double bed. The tv wasn’t working, and shower was very small. The wardrobe was decent size but if your staying a few days to a week more hangers for you clothes would’ve been better. My room was on the top floor which was around 2-3 flights of stairs so carrying my suitcase up those was tough, there was a lift but wasn’t working.

6.0 / 10.0

Good reception mr jerry. The beds could do with better quality without attached headboard. We stayed for 2 nights and the bins where not taken out. As good will gesture should give shower gel or soup.

4.0 / 10.0

there was no toilet paper when I arrived the kettle didn't work there was no curtain for the window when I spoke to the manager on she said the curtain would be fixed it was NOT she did send a new kettle & on monday the power to all the scockets went off twice so I had to go down 4 flights to report it

1.0 / 10.0

The room we were given was completely different from the one advertised. It was in extremely poor condition — dirty, unpleasantly smelly, and poorly ventilated with only a very small window and a single small fan, which was inadequate for four people. The mattresses were uncomfortable, and the overall condition of the room was unacceptable, with exposed electrical wiring visible on the walls. The bathroom was also in disrepair, with a broken door handle and a blocked shower drain. Additionally, rubbish was left on the stairs outside the hotel entrance, and during the late evening, individuals were seen rummaging through it. This created a sense of insecurity and made us feel unsafe during our stay.

3.0 / 10.0

We see the reviews and really took a risk as there was not many good ones.when we arrived the hotel does look a little tired it needs a little love and attention to detail but we was pleasantly surprised with our room it was airy and clean and that was our main concern.also we got a up grade so that was a bonus for the price you can’t go wrong tbf everything is near so that’s always a bonus 👍

3.0 / 10.0

Our room was a nice size for 3 of us, the beds had random feet on them, pieces of wood glued together.. little things 1 toilet roll , the tv didnt work, the shower doors we falling off, no shower gel ; etc provided, the toilet seat was loose and kept moving, the sink was dirty under the rim..no matching furniture in the room, under the cabinets dirty found a random piece of wood, only 2 cups when 3 off us stayed, so not enough tea , coffee etc..a old mattress, and other rubbish left at the back of the carpark, in full view..the fire exit door was very hard to open, used for a smoking area..people unfortunately moaning about their stay in reception, when we arrived and left .

2.0 / 10.0

The room was very dirty, the towels were dirty, the beds smelled bad, we had to ask them to change the sheets because they smelled bad.

4.0 / 10.0

The furnishings poor, lack of storage, general lack of propery maintenance, blinds broken, curtains not drawing correctly, pull cord to bathroom light not long enough had to chase staff for coffee and milk and no housekeeping done in the five day stay.

6.0 / 10.0

Friendly Staff. Not far from beach. Downside was the noise coming from next room of loud music. Also lot of banging doors till early hours of the morning.

2.0 / 10.0

When checking into the hotel we were made aware the bar and the restaurant were both shut. The room was disgustingly dirty, with splashes of something all up the walls and the floors clearly hadn't been cleaned in months. In the middle of the night, we were woken by a man barging into the room to 'check the smoke alarm' woke both kids up and with no apology at all! The general condition of the property was awful and we would not be staying again.

2.0 / 10.0

The rooms are dirty, there is no hand sanitizer, they wrote online that there is breakfast and they charge you, but they didn’t have it. The quality of the rooms is very low. The sounds of other rooms come into your room and you can’t sleep. . . . . . . . . . . . .

3.0 / 10.0

Stayed 1 night to catch early ferry next morning...wouldn't want to stay longer No remote control for television . No toiletries I think you get what you pay for . Room we used had a small kitchen area with nothing in cupboards, empty fridge space , Free car park good

6.0 / 10.0

Good location. No restaurant in the hotel. Reception was closed when we arrived (we were early, but worried about parking before we checked in). Rooms were okay, but the furniture was a bit "tired". Probably just about value for money considering a last minute booking in August at a decent location in Bournemouth.

2.0 / 10.0

I had 2 of my contractors stay here, they were bitten to death, the rooms were unclean, the hotel was noisy. We will not stay here again

6.0 / 10.0

2.0 / 10.0

Useful location but hotel is very old fashioned, bed is basically a mattress on the floor, no shower gel or soap in the room and didn’t feel clean. Not good value

1.0 / 10.0

Someone was lurking around my car In the car park, made us feel uneasy. Our room was filthy, turned the cups over and they were brown inside, dust everywhere, broken blinds, mould in the bathroom. Holes in the walls, broken furniture, would not stay here again if they paid me!

4.0 / 10.0

No frills but cheerful seaside hotel. Convenient location and good size room. Don't expect luxury but friendly service and simple accommodation.

Where shall i start... i read the reviews on Expedia when booking and thought the place looked okay for a one night stay. Upon our arrival we got a half hour history lesson that was well intended but after 8 hours on the road our bladders were ready to burst. The host didnt seem to notice that we all had heavy bags and were tired. Our room was in the basement . The first inspection of it was decent. Two double beds and a single. Turns out that the reviews on google were more accurate than expedia. The single bed ended up being a box spring with beddjng on it. The double beds were awful, mine was collapsing on one side. The thin excuses for pillows left us with sore necks. We had to ask for more towels. One was provided and there were four of us booked in. We were handed an extra towel and another bath mat. So two towels for four people... thanks. Doesnt look like we were bitten by any bed bugs thank goodness... i do not recommend this place.

3.0 / 10.0

A real mix of ok and could do better.. Lovely chap on reception who gave a overview of Dorset and sandbanks. The room had a few issues TV remote missing No towels Window opens fully to a flat roof with staircase so not secure But Beds were ok and room was warm but it was the hottest day of the year Shower leaked Plugs had a smell of drains It was a good location and parking was free It worked for one night as a cheap stay over.

10.0 / 10.0

I stayed here for a week and it was a lovely room the bed was so comfortable and when I had a small issue a really nice man came and helped me solve it very quickly and he was very polite. It was in walking distance to the beach and shops so I didn’t have to waste money on Ubers so I was happy with that and I can’t wait to book my next stay with them.

Very hospitable staff. Gentleman at front desk had lots of local information.

6.0 / 10.0

Host is very pleasant, has a wealth of local knowledge. The room was a good size for a family. Wifi worked well. The cleaning can be improved by ensuring the floor is swept of sand (probably left by previous guest) and the kettle and cups could do with a scrub.

4.0 / 10.0

Walking distance to everything, very clean and comfortable. But bring a body shower soap and shampoo, there are none in the bathroom

5.0 / 10.0

We enjoyed our stay at the Kensington hotel. In a nutshell I can’t fault it! We would definitely come again.
