Very cozy, well organized, well maintained, clean, unique amenities, pleasant and quiet neighborhood, close to shops in one direction and the beach in the opposite direction. Only 2 available on-site parking spots, but parking on the street looked ok. The owner, Karl, is a gracious and helpful host. This will be my go-to Bournemouth accommodation, as the location is very close to the family I have in the same area. Excellent rating from me on all points.

Very nice, me and 3 friends came to stay and the beds were comfy and it was a really nice room, there isn’t a bathroom or shower in the room so keep that in mind but it does say that in description. And my only point was there was a smoky smell outside the room but the room smelt fine, so in case your sensitive to smoky smells. But the room was well ventilated and the fan was a nice touch. The owner was lovely super kind and helpful!

Excellent hotel

The hotel was nice and clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful the room we had was really comfortable and we even had a sofa which was good. The only thing that was not good was we had a hair in the bath that was definitely not ours.
