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

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.

We had a wonderful weekend in Bournemouth at the Royal Exeter. We were especially happy with the hospitality of the staff in the 1812 bar. The happy hour is generous and good value. Breakfast was great too. Would recommend There was of course sound from the bar/nightclub but wasn’t too bad. We were on the 2nd floor

Won't be using that hotel again!
I wouldn't recommend this hotel. I've never been to a hotel where they offer you a pair of ear plugs on arrival. I stayed on a Friday night and their nightclub, which is in the hotel, didn't finish until 4am so got absolutely no sleep. Rooms are tired and the bed was uncomfortable. Would have got a better night's sleep kipping in my car.

The hotel was cleaned and comfortable, however the music really loud up further than 00.00am. No way to sleep without earplugs. We were not aware at all about the hotel charged 8£ for parking every day. When we arrived they said that they will charge 8£ because we booked the hotel with Expedia. However, when we left the hotel the last day they said that they will charge 8£ per day because the parking. They didn't mention that at all the first day, that we would be charged every day 8£ for the parking, they said that it was because we booked the hotel with Expedia.

Central location but old hotel with a nightclub
The hotel is in a great location, very close to the beach and shops. Parking is okay, although the car park is quite small and is on a first come, first serve basis. However, there is a car park opposite the hotel. The hotel staff were helpful and attentive and breakfast was average. The major downside is the hotel is tired and dated. Which is not a problem if you just want a bed for the night after a long day on the beach, but it is in need of refurbishment. The hotel is a nightclub at the weekend and the music is loud. It didn’t disturb me, as I was on the top floor, but other members of my family didn’t have a good sleep. Air plugs were given out by the reception staff, but the music was loud.

Great comfortable rest
When i arrived the young lady in reception was very professional and helped me with a couple of small problems there was not a USB socket in the room, she kindly found a plug and the TV was not working so she found me another room. Room was very comfortable and very clean. Maybe a bit dated but very much to my taste. The breakdast was probably the best i have ever had in any establishment i have stayed in superb. The only problem i had was when i was leaving the your hotel the chap in reception told me i had a outstanding bill to pay for the car park , i told him tat it was all included in my deal . He was quite abrupt said who told you that . I am the sort of person i want to know about these type of things when i arrive NOT as i am leaving.
