My one-night stay over Christmas at this hotel was very comfortable, and the room overlooking the sea was a fantastic touch. The room felt more expensive than it was, though the furniture was a bit tired. The TV seemed smaller compared to other Premier Inn locations, and the hotel itself could use some refurbishment. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay.

The hotel had a fabulous location right by the seafront and the Bournemouth Pavilion, offering lovely views. The rooms, while spacious and accommodating up to five people, showed signs of aging with peeling wallpaper. The service was friendly and helpful overall, with minor room heating issues that were promptly addressed. The dining experience was cooked to order but fell short of previous quality. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel is highly recommended for a comfortable stay with a touch of elegance.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The room, although comfortable for a good night's sleep, could have been better in terms of bathroom cleanliness. The location was excellent, central to all of Bournemouth's blue flag beaches and offered quality accommodation at a reasonable price. The service was helpful, although there was a minor issue with elevator capacity. The dining experience was okay, with room for improvement in the freshness of food and coffee temperature.

My stay at Premier Inn, Bournemouth was amazing, with spacious and clean rooms offering the most gorgeous window for a sea view. The friendly staff provided a delightful surprise with a Birthday card and chocolates in the room. However, some areas could use a good clean and updating. The location is excellent for visiting Bournemouth's attractions, like the Christmas lights and market, but the mattress quality for a good night's sleep was questionable.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was huge with a large wardrobe area, a bathroom with a bath and a shower, a separate shower, sink, and toilet. The staff were professional and apologetic when the heating had an error, providing heaters if needed. Breakfast was delightful with lovely sea views, and I highly recommend staying here. The only downside was the heating issue, but it did not impact my overall comfort.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and had everything I needed, but the one facing the sea at the end of the hallway was freezing. On the other hand, the room on the 3rd floor, at the rear of the hotel, was extremely quiet. The service was exceptional; the staff were professional, apologetic, and always ready to help.
