The Beacon Hotel - Bournemouth

After reading other reviews I was rather concerned but I needn't have worried the staff were pleasant and the room was clean and adequate for my needs. If I had any complaints it was the steepness of Priory Road and nobody can do anything about that

I booked this hotel for a friend and myself as it was in a convenient location, close the BIC and the city centre. On arrival, we struggled to get into the hotel because the front door was locked and only opened from the outside with a code for the lock, had to ring the bell and wait for someone to come let us in. Staff weren't particularly friendly, […] we paid upon arrival and were given a door key and code for the front door, that's about it. We weren’t given any details on what time breakfast would be or what time check-out was, the man disappeared so quickly we had no time to ask. Got to our room to find the window wide open, the room was literally as cold as it was outside - the radiator stone cold. Tried to close the window but unfortunately it wouldn't close completely as the lock was broken so had a delightful breeze in the room for the entire night. Delightful if you enjoy sleeping with your window open mid winter!!! The decor in the room is dated and tired at best - the walls all had holes in them which had been badly patched up, patchy paint, dirty carpet and what looked like blood splatters on the radiator and skirting boards!! Generally the room felt quite dirty. And then on to the bathroom! I don't think you can even call it a bathroom or an en-suite. This was more like a cupboard with a toilet and a shower!!! You could barely move in there, there was just about enough space to get in and use the toilet - but I wouldn't even dream of using that shower!! There were hairs around the plug and on the walls, again just a general lack of hygiene. I would be surprised if anybody had even bothered to clean that room after the previous guests, it certainly didn’t look like they had. Anyway, we went out for the night and returned to our room later that evening. The room was absolutely freezing because of the broken window and the fact that there was one small radiator by the door, which we had on full blast but this didn’t seem to do anything. It didn't help that t Read more

When I got to the hotel the card machine wouldnt work so i had to pay cash, I entered my room to find a bunch of dirty towels on the bathroom floor, so I complained and they cleaned the bathroom and moved the towels, the bathroom was still dirty, I was in room 22, there were 4 single beds and a bay consisting of 3 sash windows, they all rattled and […] the curtains let in lots of light, this was a good thing because the main light in the room did not have a bulb fitted. The TV switched on to standby but there was no way of getting the screen to come on because there was no remote control. Breakfast was satisfactory but I heard a conversation behind the kitched door about the bed bugs they had in 3 of the rooms in the hotel, this made me feel sick and itchy all day. When I checked out I rang the bell and waited 5 minutes but nobody came so I had to leave for an appointment. In my opinion AVOID this hotel, I would have got more sleep in my car Read more

If you hope for a quiet stay in Bournemouth then find somewhere else to stay. Full of stag parties. The occupants of the room next to mine returned at 3-30 a.m. and at 4-30 a.m. were still knocking on each others` doors and generally making noise. I checked out at 4-45 a.m. and found a quiet spot to sleep in my car!!!!!

leuk hotelletje voor muziekliefhebbers, veel foto's en concertposters van de afgelopen ca. 60 jaar. Het ontbijt viel wat tegen ... Voor 1 nacht (na concertbezoek) wel OK !
