Pros:

It was a short distance from town centre. Friendly staff.

Cons:

We stayed for two days, had to ask for more condiments as the room was not cleaned or had housekeeping, fan in bathroom didn't work causing fire alarms to go off! Was cold as heating came on for about 1.5/2 hours! Around 11pm. Double bed was two singles which caused snuggling my partner difficult unless one of us fell down the crack.

El colchón mas viejo y hundido que he visto nunca
Pros:

Nada

Cons:

El colchón de la cama era muy viejo y estaba hundido, no dormí nada. La habitación estaba sucia. Se oía mucho ruido de un motor cercano. Muy caro para lo que ofrecen.

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
