Having booked three rooms before reading the on line comments I immediately decided to cancel. Since one of the rooms was for one night only at a weekend I had difficuly finding any hotel that were willing to accept a one night booking and this hotel was willing to take the booking without any excess charge, so after dicussing the... more

I stayed here on a saturday night in October which 5 or 6 guys for my stag do. After reading everyones reviews i thought it was going to be the hotel from hell. However much to my surprise it was far ebtter than i was expecting. Ok its not amazing but for somewhere to stay for one night it was... more

We went for a conference at the BIC as the Croham was about a ten minute walk away. I admit the room rate was cheap. But, cheap or not, we didn't expect insanitary. The first room we were given in the old part of the building stank of stale smoke, the sheets and bed covers had fresh stains all over... more

My partner booked this hotel for the August bank holiday without checking any of the review sites first, if he had we would never have gone there! Firstly we had to pay to park the car, £3.50 per day, in a very small car park that had no security and people from other hotels were using it, making space limited.... more

As a family of four we are always on a fairly tight budget, and basically we got what we paid for. The good size family room contained a double and two single beds with an ensuite, albeit a little cramped (particularly the loo!). Being on the top floor it was particularly hot and would have benefited from some form of... more

As soon as we arrived, we deeply regretted our decision to book this hotel. It claims it's had a recent refurbishment, but desperately needs another one. Let's start with the doors to both of our rooms: it was obvious that the locks had been broken, perhaps the doors had been forced by drunken stags/hens at some point? The replacement locks... more

It was our first time in Bournemouth and a last minute decison for a quick weekend break. We had a room which had excellent views. The staff were very friendly and could not do enough to help and the room itself was fantastic, large room and with a decent sized bed. The hotel is quiet (even when fully booked) and... more

We were a party of 5 people and booked a twin and a triple room. We were welcomed on the Tursday by a helpful male member of staff who was very professional in the way he handled the gusets. The three days we spent at the hotel we were made very homely. The breakfast was a full english buffet breakfast... more
