First time in Bournemouth
Pros:

The location was good, not far from the beach and many restaurants. Reception and restaurant staff were helpful.

Cons:

The rooms were a good size however the coffee table in twin room is too big, perhaps change for a smaller one. A mini fridge would be great to keep bottled water cool, especially when the weather is hot.
Housekeeping staff did not make up our beds each day.

Hotel clássico já um pouco ultrapassado na decoração
Pros:

Localização

Cons:

O pequeno almoço está incluído mas tem um café super mau e caso queiras um café de máquina tens de pagar. O gerente do hotel devia mudar esta regra. Ou incluem café com qualidade ou não. Fica mal cobrarem extras ao pequeno almoço.
As alcatifas deviam ser melhor limpas

Value for money, hotel near Bournemouth Beach
Pros:

We have booked Sea Stone Hotel for our go-to hotel when we went to Bournemouth last month and this month. The room was spacious, comfortable and pleasant to stay in. The staff were nice and accomodating. The breakfast was good and the distance from bournemouth beach was so close. The price for the stay is just right . Will stay here at Sea Stone Hotel the next time will be in Bournemouth.

Cons:

The hotel is a little outdated but we don’t mind it as we were satisfied with our stay at Sea Stone.
