Nice clean room . New shower , though the internal valve on the new shower is missing . This means , when you adjust the water flow from the handheld shower to the overhead shower , nothing happens. As this shower cubicle is the smallest on the planet , and if you don’t want the water to go everywhere. .. climb in .. switch on shower .. freeze to death .. then slowly warm up .. in the mean time the handheld shower works with a constant drip of cool / cold water on your head . The shower cubicle is about a metre square. Apart from that and getting the surprise of £14 for 24 hour parking .. really can’t complain . . Location is good , with just a little walk down to a path to the beach , bringing you just down from Boscombe pier and about a 20-25 minute walk into Bournemouth pier / Bournemouth.

I recently stayed at Park Inn by Radisson Bournemouth and had a very positive experience. The location is great — just a short walk to the beach — and the room was clean and comfortable. But what really stood out was the honesty and professionalism of the staff. After I checked out, I realised I had forgotten a significant amount of money in the room. To my surprise, I received a call from the hotel letting me know they had found it and were keeping it safe for me to collect. In a world where that kind of honesty can be rare, I was truly impressed and grateful. Huge thanks to the team — especially housekeeping and reception — for their integrity and prompt communication. That level of trustworthiness makes all the difference. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Bournemouth.

Absolutely delighted by my stay, best hotel I've stayed at. The price is very reasonable. The staff were absolutely outstanding especially the lovely man at reception. The room was very clean, any problems we had were sorted out immediately. It was a tad cold but that's my fault due to not being able to figure out the heating. They had a lovely bar with reasonable prices. The beach is just a walk away and town is very close by. Would 100% recommend

Great standard for a 3 star hotel ! Great location ( near Boscombe and Bournemouth ).Very clean and staff are very helpful.There's a nice restaurant in the hotel and a bar . Parking on the main road by the hotel is free after 5.00pm until 9.00am weekdays and of a weekend I think.Hotel parking is £10 for 24 hours.The tv in the room was about a 42 ".Great for a watch while relaxing getting ready to go out ! You could also chrome cast to it which was great to watch a bit of Netflicks from my phone.. Only moans would be the showers are too small.I had to adjust the temperature on the shower before getting in , as found it difficult to do once in there as such a small shower to move about in. Also, only one adult person can fit in the lift at a time as so small!. We enjoyed the stay so much we stayed an extra 2 days so we did actually enjoy our stay there!

Breakfast was superb, far more than expected. Small place but worth its value. Staff are friendly, just a short walk from the beach front which really made our trip
