Stayed here as close to Bournemouth Pavilion where I was attending a show. Place was clean and staff welcoming. I had been warned prior to arriving about the bar and club which ran to late on Sunday morning but never noticed an issue with the noise from my room at the back of the hotel in the second floor

Quick & easy check in, our room was dated but clean, warm and comfortable. We were above the night club and it was playing loud music. But we were warned about this several times, so ear plugs helped. We would definitely stay again.

While I am doing reservation I asked them for possible upgrade according to availability however their answer as below; Good evening, Your booking is for a single room with a single bed. You can update your room from expedia portal with extra cost. If you are that strict as an hotelier you should refund the fee that I have paid you last night cause of heating issue in your propert in room number 210 ! I have asked your colleague who works at evening shift around 6-7 PM he told me that he will sort out. When I came back lately I asked your another colleague he assist me kindly and provide me a Mini radiator which I assumed room will be hot enough with 2 radiator (other one I found in the room) Even your staff was shocked like how it might be cold that much ! At the end room never get hot enough it was around 10-15 C and when I woke up in the morning my voice was like a monster. Ladies should have heard it at the reception early morning. Thanks for the take away sandvic you have provided. Thank you Regards

Perfectly located hotel in Bournemouth.
A lovely, well situated hotel with very friendly staff with a well stocked bar at a reasonable price. Breakfast was very tasty and plenty of it. We had an issue with a wall heater not working and within 5 minutes of phoning reception a replacement heater was sent up. We were there for a Friday & Saturday night so there was live music followed by a DJ both nights. As we were on the top floor we could just about hear the beat but it wasn’t loud enough to disturb us. If I’m back in Bournemouth for another concert than I’ll definitely be looking to stay at this hotel again. Please note that they charge £8 per night for car parking though.

Fairly pleasant in a pinch
Reception area and 1812 bar/club nicely decorated. Staff pleasant. Good location. If you want to have a good nights sleep, this isn't the place for you. Loud music until gone 4am, clearly heard from the 3rd floor. Car park a bit tricky to find and limited space. Found a big cobweb on the ceiling.

Loved it. Clean, friendly and fun. We went to a show across the road. Came back to a real party in the bar. Great band and DJ. We left around 2. There was a little distant sound but not intrusive to keep us awake. Highly recommend if your up for fun. If you want a quiet weekend this is not for you.
