Liked the atmosphere … kept getting lost to though because I was not given an instructions to how to get to my room. And the floors do not work the same way like different elevators will take you to different places for the same floor number and no link

Known for its sandy beaches and good nightlife, Bournemouth is a popular seaside resort on the Dorset coast between Poole and Christchurch.
The town is centred on the Bourne River, running downhill towards the sea by Bournemouth Pier. This pier looks back towards a promenade lined with beach huts at the foot of grassy cliffs. The promenade continues west to Poole, while a road goes east to neighbouring Boscombe, where anglers often fish from its pier. Overlooking it is a clifftop road housing some Bournemouth hotels with sea views.
Booking.com also offers hotels near the BIC – Bournemouth International Centre in the West Cliff area. This convention centre and music venue is a short walk from the Art Deco Pavilion Theatre, located next to the Lower Gardens. In this popular city park is the Bournemouth Eye, a tethered hot air balloon that offers far-reaching views.
At the park’s top end the river disappears under a large square, then emerges in the Central Gardens. Overlooking these gardens is the Victorian town hall, which used to be one of several spa hotels in Bournemouth. Opposite is a Grade I-listed church, and St Peter’s Church has the grave of Mary Shelley, author of ‘Frankenstein’.
On the outskirts of town, near 4 golf courses and the Castlepoint Shopping Centre, is Bournemouth Airport.

We only stayed one full day, and I will say there is a lot to see and do so a couple days is reccomended. The beach was nice, with some great restaurants and options for bars in town. It is an old town, and there are some areas that could use restoration, but it has a certain charm. Everywhere we went the people were freindly.

Fav place: Hotel Celebrity and Citygate Bournemouth which is HIGHLY suggest
Food: Franco Manca, Asda Deli Counter, Spoons, 7 Bone Burger, McDonalds, Caffe Neros
Places to avoid: Bus stop outside Asda and Citygate, there was a punch-up
Friendly and professional Staff greeted us at Reception, was very happy and surprised to learn that we were given a room with a four poster bed which was very comfortable. The rest of the room had all we needed with a jacquzzi bath much to my Husband's delight and he went for a 'bubble'. The Hotel had 3 Bars, one had a very late licence (4am) i think that one was. Very central to the Beach and shopping, also opposite to The BIC and close to Bournemouth Pavillion.
Everything was nice n clean. Bus stop just outside the building. Co op down the flat. Great location. Close from the town, station n beach too.. There is no staff as its not a Hotel. It's just a family run business. Apartment is nice n spacious. There's only 1 double size bed in the bedroom. And the other is sofa cum bed..thats a king size.. in the living room. The apartment has washing machine n a drier too.. thats a plus point I could say.
This hotel is perfectly situated for an easy walk to music events at O2 Academy Bournemouth. The staff were very welcoming and efficient, the hotel was quiet even though many guests were staying there. The breakfast buffet manager was friendly and the food offering was very good with everything well laid out and to a very good standard. Good hot shower and beds were average but fine for a night. Free parking was great.
Really nice hotel, with a spacious, quiet and spotlessly clean room. I've stayed in many hotels in Bournemouth, and this place is a thousand times better than what you get for the same price in the main town. Great location, with a pretty beach and a lovely 30-min walk to Bournemouth along the seafront, and buses every 5 minutes. The management were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay there again.
The room was clean & tidy & well lit with natural light, it had opening windows to allow natural airflow. The accommodation was in a great location close to the main square & the beach.
The owner was very friendly, carried my luggage up the stairs & was very helpful with suggestions on what to do in the area. I would highly recommend the "Newark" when staying in "Bournemouth".
Everything was amazing and comfortable, the lovely gentleman at the reception was extremely accommodating and kind, and even helped us chill our wine and brought us wine glasses to our room.
The breakfast next door was one of the best I've had at a hotel in the UK, and the staff was also amazing. All in all 10 out of 10, we will come back for a longer stay!
The location is good for Bournemouth. Easily walkable to the city center, could be closer to the beach. I came during an August heatwave, so most things were booked and the town was crowded as expected. The town was lively and the hotel was standard and as promised.
The staff were great, so easy to communicate with reception on WhatsApp as well as face to face. Staff in the restaurant for breakfast were also excellent.
Great hotel with good parking. We walked into Bournemouth and left the car parked for our whole stay.
Love this hotel. In fact going back today and going to see entertainment on at The Pavilion which is just the road from this fantastic hotel. Xx Awesome atmosphere, staff, is close to the beach and Bournemouth and got so many amenities at the hotel xx
It was in the perfect location to the centre and the beach. Comfortable beds, clean and specious room. The host was lovely and welcoming.
Can't wait for our next holiday back to Bournemouth so we could book this hotel again. Thank you for having us!
It has its own parking space. Ground floor. Easy to relax there compared to a hotel. Good kitchen. Nice bathroom. Good instructions from the host. Close to the beach, a small supermarket, a pub and some restaurants.
Apartment was spacious, ability to prepare and store snacks . The location was excellent for beach and to walk to Westbourne and Bournemouth. Did not eat food at hotel so could no comment. But drinks at bar good
