Very comfortable small hotel
I visit Bournemouth 2 or 3 times a year, the Ravensbourne & it's twin next door, the Strand, are my go-to hotels. Very comfortable, good service, and good value for money.

Great place to stay
Building had tons of character. The room and bed were very comfy, the wi-fi worked great. The bath was shared but we were there off season so had the floor to ourselves. Bathroom was very clean and all amenities included. Was close to a lovely beach

good overall
I'd go back for sure. Very close to the beach and superclean shared facilities. Room smelled a bit like the room of a smoker but no complains anyway as we had to spend the whole day out.

Excellent hotel
The hotel was nice and clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful the room we had was really comfortable and we even had a sofa which was good. The only thing that was not good was we had a hair in the bath that was definitely not ours.

Made to feel at home, very pleasant atmosphere with quiet stairs. The price of just over £40 was very nice indeed also well positioned in Bournemouth for whatever you need, excellent. Nothing to not like. Would definitely stay here again.

A good overnight before the Ferry.
Small single room, but not basic.
Tea/Coffee, TV, small sink, wardrobe - all you could want at a competitive price.

shared bathrooms
bed was comfortable and the location was fine with a vehicle, but there were shared bathrooms on the floors...something we wouldn't have chosen. The room was small. There was parking right in front of the hotel. We did enjoy Bournemouth in general
