Booked hotel as said Dog Friendly as visiting son who’s at Uni there. But dogs are not allowed in bar and we were very restricted what parts of the hotel we could go. I’ll be booking a different “Dog Friendly” pub on our next visit

Reception staff unhelpful and directions to our room were terrible! As our room was in another wing, it could have saved us 15 minutes if this could have been explained. We bumped into another couple in the lift later who had same issue!

The hotel needs some work. There was barely any hot water in the room. The water was just warm enough to take a shower but barely.. you have to pay an extra fee to use the pool and the hot tub and the hot tub was only about 30°. The rooms were uncomfortable, very dated. Not dated in a charming way but more dated in a needs an upgrade.

Adequate

The hotel was a bit tired. Service was adequate. The room was adequate, but very noisy and the bed was uncomfortable. The room decor was tired and a bit shabby and the facilities were not great - my room had no hairdryer. Overall, would not recommend for the price (which didn't include breakfast, either).

Perfectly adequate for the price

A perfect affordable base for a short stay in Bournemouth, but lots of noise from windows and thin walls

Hotel is huge & like a rabbit warren. It was not explained properly where our room was therefore we walked round in circles for ages with other guests too!! Room was tiny & very dated. We paid a good price for the room but equal price to a premier inn and the rooms there are far superior. Walls were grubby and needed painting. Floor boards ridiculously creaky. Bathroom tired. Furniture tatty. Some communal areas had clearly had work done and were nice. I assume some rooms are also newer. Ours was disgustingly. We would have complained if we’d been staying more than 1 night. Wouldn’t stay at this hotel again.

We had a two day stay half board. The breakfast and dinner were very good value with a good choice of food. The room was very tidy and clean with a good view out of the window. Didn’t have time to use the spa facilities that looked amazing. Maybe next time.

Awful room. Overpriced. Not clean. Nice staff but they don’t make up for the state of the hotel. Breakfast adequate but waited a while for items to be replenished. Would not stay again. Sad state of a beautiful building.

The hotel exudes an atmosphere of faded grandeur. Accessibly is a major issue in virtually every part of the hotel. Especially the front entrance where the presence of the temporary ramps on a very regular basis creates a serious trip hazard. The staff find it demanding to deal with guests who rely on mobility scooters. Maintenance is an issue regarding decoration and squeaky floors. Cleaning is not always done behind furniture. The food was very good and plentiful and the restaurant staff were wonderful . Reception staff were always welcoming and helpful. The building requires major renovations but this would be a very large and expensive undertaking. Location was good for the BIC .
