A little dated but as I was only in Bournemouth to vosot family in Christchurch the facilities including the food were not partaken of I just wished to use a room for the length of my stay, no complaints at all and would be quite happy to recommend.

My actual stay for very good, with a well-appointed room for the price and a good deal for breakfast. My criticism would be not about the hotel, but about Britannia Hotels' system of emailing and texting in the run-up to my stay with urgent messages to book online and 'time running out'. These are poorly worded and tended to cause concern. They just need to be worded better to offer online booking as an alternative if the client wishes, not to cause worry that something urgent needs to be done or the stay will be jeopardised, as that was the feeling engendered!

Not impressed

Initial contact at the reception was poor. Receptionist was to intent on getting my info although I’d already filled in the online forms. Guidance to the room was poor. Was in formed how to get to the room via lift or stairs however neglected to inform me where the lift or stairs where. The room its self was dated, delaminating furniture, loose wall sockets. Door to room had large gaps, strips and seals missing, damage to the hard wood edge and the self-closer did not operate to full extent thus leaving the door on the latch and not closing to completion. The carpet in the corridors was loose and threadbare at points and the corridor fire doors were ill fitting and also had strips and seals missing.

Stayed here as we were working at a local show. You pay for what you get but I felt like I’d been transported to 1975. This hotel has not been touched since the 70s. The decor is questionable. Parking is awful and all double yellows on the street. The check in was quick and smooth which is the only good thing about it. Pipes running under the floors which means the room is boiling. Room is not cleaned to the best standards. Mould in bathroom. Beds hard and uncomfortable. Holes all over the carpets, gouges in doors and woodwork. The entire hotel and corridors all stink of cigarettes. You had the option of choosing a smoking room when we booked, who still has smoking rooms? Even Vegas have stopped it in most places. Gaffer tape on stairs in reception holding them together. Lift looks like the original lift and could fall apart at any time. Pros - it was cheap. We weren’t there for long enough to worry too much about it. Beds were clean. Staff friendly. If you want a cheap bed for the night it’s fine but this isn’t somewhere I’d ever stay again. Typical old Britannia hotel.
