Very friendly staff, the hotel was being decorated so the paint smells were a bit of a put off, but it was all looking good, I intend to go back again before Christmas, to check the squeeky floor boards, which is on the hotels "to do" list, easy parking and easy to find hotel in a lovely location.

There nothing to dislike about this Gem of a hotel On arrival through to departure the staff were courteous and friendly, they made my stay comfortable and welcome. The receptionist, night staff and dining room staff are exceptional members of a team that are willing to go that extra mile to make your stay a wonderful and happy experience. My room a double even though I booked a single was clean and had all the amenities I needed. Well done woodcroft !!!

Friendly staff, very cheap rates, relaxing atmosphere. My room was a good size, and had recently been refurbished with new bathroom suite and tiling. The management are clearly investing a lot on refurbishing, which is coming along nicely... not sure about the green plastic on wall behind beds though!!

Best hotel I've ever stayed in. Luxurious, large, clean rooms, superb buffet breakfast. It was a heavily discounted room.

Friendly staff. Good location for bic (as well as beach and restaurants). Lot of renovations taking place (of which we were not informed of prior to visit). Most of the cliental were senior citizens on 'bus tours' and anyone in a suit was assumed to be the 'coach driver'. Senior management / owner very rude and seemed to disregard guest requirements. No working WiFi, no washbasin in toilets/ensuite (had to come out and use washbasin in room) even after requesting all these as a necessity for our business trip.

This is a lovely hotel with a very warm and very friendly staff. Previous negative reviews did not reflect my stay. Yes, they did not have a card machine but I was able to pay at the hotel across the road when I went for breakfast. Yes, breakfast was across the road but this was because they were decorating and thought it might be less pleasant eating in a new paint environment. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean - I could just see the sea! It is lovely to see hotels trying to make an effort with decor where so many have just let it go. I will definitely consider staying again and would like to thank them for such a lovely couple of days. No complaints. If you rely on tv for company then this was the only thing I found that didn't work well. However, Bournemouth has notoriously bad reception and even boosters don't work particularly well. I am happy with a book so this wasn't a problem for me.

friendly staff, central location - a few minutes from the beach and city centre, clean rooms, good breakfast (as the breakfast room of the hotel was painted, we got food in the "Orchid" hotel) very hot room, TV in my room was a very old one with only 4 programms, creaky floorboards (could hear the neighbours and people in the room above me), shower had only extremely hot water

Location was excellent just a short walk from the coach station and to the beach, breakfast was very nice buffet type cereals, tea, coffe, toast, juices, fruits followed by full english breakfast, the waiter was very polite; the bed was very comfortable,the room was nice and clean; price. You could hear when sombody was walking in the room above which was a bit annoying; the room was too hot; there was a reception kept at the bar and the music was loud which was ok with us but could have bothered someone else.

Decor tacky, shower not working, tv remote not working. Dirty nettings, bathroom had no niceties, only small bars of soap. Breakfast facilities were a joke; had to prepare our own toast. Main breakfast came before we finished cereals. More suited to youngsters on a budget.

So close to the centre of Bournemouth and the sea front. Didn't have to move the car. The decor in our room was very strange and the colours didn't match. At breakfast there was only one waitress trying to do everything. The was a shortage of plates and tea bags when we were there. No sure if they had been let down by somebody or not, the poor girl did her best.

Its position and large car park to accomodate all rooms. It was reasonably priced and quite good value for money. It has noisey creaky floorboards and the decor is very tired. Our bathroom was the best part of our accommodation as it looked liked like it had been recently refurbished.

Central location. Hotel was easy to find, good sized free car park. The room was a good size and was clean. Upon check in the credit card machine wasn't working. The lady at the desk was very helpful and I couldn't fault the service from her. She explained that she had had problems earlier in the day taking payments from other guests. She called the manager who when he arrived seemed very busy almost like he didn't have time to sort the problem out. He didn't seem to understand that it wasn't my card and that the staff were having trouble with the machine. At one point there was a suggestion that I should go to the garage and get cash. I provided my card details to booking.com so my card could have been debited in this way.

The hotel is situated in a quiet area, just 5 minutes from the downtown and just 5 minutes from the beach. You can relax on the beach during the day and enjoy the nightlife without using the car or buses. There is no time limit to return in hotel because the reception is open 24 hours a day. The breakfast is varied, you can choose the traditional English breakfast or tea, milk, coffee, cereals, jam, juice etc.
