Far better than expected, pleasant and enjoyed our stay
Pros:

excellent location especially if you were going to the BIC as it was15 minutes walk. Bournemouth pier and parks 20/30 minutes walk away. Urban garden excellent place to eat in the lower gardens. Bus stop each way just minutes from the hotel. Plenty of restaurants very near for example fish and chips , Japanese, Thai and several others. Nisa shop opposite for your needs. Very modern bathroom bedroom needs to catch up. Owner trying very hard to modernise the hotel. Pleasant bar area and not noisy

Cons:

Bedroom very basic , could do with asmall fridge to keep milk or any snacks bought from Nisa opposite hotel. Also Bath mat and hand towel in the bathroom. Air conditioning units very noisy which didn't switch off till midnight unfortunately

Okay
Pros:

Breakfast was good, great choice from the menu. Location good for BIC, although is up the hill. Room was large, clean, lovely shower room. Bed very comfy.

Cons:

Sadly small things weren’t attended to. The curtains were hanging off the rails and there were some broken blinds in the window, but only about 4 slats. The fan in the bathroom was really loud and there was a light strip, that just kept flashing. There was no plug anywhere near the kettle, had to put it on the floor. Only two tea bags, not wrapped, look like they came out of someone’s pocket. The little things let it down.

Bad Reviews Seem Unjustified
Pros:

Location perfect although steep hills down to beach
Nice room on top floor
Clean bathroom very nice
Beds comfortable
Carpets have seen better days but overall good for an overnight stay

Cons:

It is a bit shabby in the pub most seats ripped and tables sticky.
No lift 3 flights of stairs!! (But I'm lazy)
However the room was nice and very good value for money spacious and roomy.

Lovely pub
Pros:

Location. Friendly atmosphere. Clean. Nice staff, very helpful and kind. Comfy beds

Cons:

We had room 4. It's more of a single room than a double, so we felt very cramped and it was problematic getting in and out of the bathroom.

Overall we had a lovely stay, the location was lovely as it was only a short walk from the beach.
Pros:

The food that was being broken ght out in the evening all looked lovely, the breakfast was lovely, came out hot and quickly.
The staff were very friendly.

Cons:

While the bed was massive and comfy there was a loud humming coming from some sort of machine that could be heard from our room that kept me wife awake most of the night. The bathroom whilst clean, the shower head was all clogged with timescale and clearly not been cleaned out properly for while.

It served a purpose of being a roof over my head, I wouldn’t want to spend time in that room.
Pros:

2 minute walk to the beach but on a noisy main road,
The window needed to be opened fully as the room was hot and they couldn’t provide a fan.
The bathroom was a good size, shower was good.

Cons:

Cleanliness! There were pubic hairs on the pillows.
The toilet was very dirty.
The room smelt of stale alcohol.
Couldn’t sleep because of all the noise and the smell.
