"Weekend visit "

We arrived on Thursday and left on Sunday. Rooms sufficient and clean. The team of Laurent and waitresses could not be faulted every breakfast. They were helpful attentive and very professional. Thank you!

"Very Comfy Stay"

Very comfortable room, very clean, staff really helpful. Stayed in a family room which suited us. Only negative is that the breakfast was lukewarm. Evening take away option was lovely. Will stay again.

"The Wi-Fi Stinks"

Lots of good things about this hotel. Location is a good base for exploring the area, about 20 minutes from town centre. Close to bus routes and a local high street. Train station about 10 minutes walk. Website helpfully gives a location to park your car for free, since there is a £6 charge to use the hotel car park, and there's a bun fight for spaces. Room is standard Premier Inn, nobody beats them for bed quality. These positives are offset by the appalling Wi-Fi connection. You go through all this form filling to sign in, and then it doesn't work on two out of three devices. Staff are obviously weary about telling customers that it's "temperamental" or "use a different search engine" (What?) Of course, you can upgrade to a more reliable connection, but you shouldn't have to. Wi-Fi has fast become a must-have amenity in hotels. In all other places that I stayed on this trip Wi-Fi was free AND reliable. This even in small independents. Premier Inn need to get their act together on this.

"Avoid at all cost"

If you want to be ignored when you're trying to catch someone's attention in the restaurant area, be their guest. If you want to wait for 20 minutes for someone to take your order after someone's seated you, be their guest. If you want it to take one hour to have tea, toast and cereal (and you have to make the tea and toast yourself and have to wait forever for someone to put a bowl of cereal down on your table), be their guest. If you want zero vegan options apart from toast with margarine and jam, be their guest. If you can't even have a slice of lemon for your tea if you don't take milk, be their guest. If you don't want your room cleaned at all apart from when you check out (which they don't tell you on check in, we just wondered why no one cleaned or tidied our rooms after a few days only to be told they don't due to COVID. Apparently it was supposed to be on an information sheet in our rooms on arrival, it wasn't). If you don't want to have a toilet brush in your toilet, be their guest. If you don't want your bin emptied unless you specifically tell them when you're leaving the hotel, be their guest. If when you DO tell them you want your bin emptied and they tell you to leave it outside and you don't mind it still being outside overflowing with rubbish, hours later, be their guest. If you want to unsuccessfully try to book parking everyday in their too small carpark and then have to park a 5 minute walk away where you can't stay for more than two hours, be their guest. If you want to stay in a tired and shabby hotel, be their guest. If you want to queue up for over 15 minutes before you have your breakfast and even though you have 'booked your time slot,' be their guest. If you are trying to catch a server's attention and being pointedly ignored, be their guest. If you don't mind being told to 'get the tea yourself' then when you go to the mugs, there aren't any teabags in them (it happened every morning), be my guest (I literally had to stretch over to a shelf where I saw teabags. The lengths I had to go to for a cup of tea in the morning!). I can't believe Premier Inn are charging the same amount (£7.99) for a continental breakfast yet preCOVID it was unlimited pastries, fruit, cereal, juice, toast etc, now it's one pastry, one toast, one hot drink, one juice (poor quality), it's a massive rip off. I have tried, with no luck, to speak to a manager about the unacceptable standards but according to the 'Guest Relations' team, managers don't make calls. I used to be a big fan of Premier Inn but I've been ignored and treated really badly. I had a six night stay there too with my parents and my little girl and spent a lot of money there so being treated like this is unacceptable. It was chaotic, shambolic and no one seems to care about my experience. (I've had emails saying 'thank you, we will feed this back' but that's all, no one will call me to discuss my experience). Well so long then. I will look for another place to be a loyal customer to such as Air BnB or Travel Lodge. I'd like to say that it's been fun but I'm not gonna lie. In the meantime, Premier Inn clearly don't care, they must be raking it in as they're building another Premier Inn hotel in Bournemouth when they haven't even sorted out the problems with this one. Good luck with that one, guys.

Hotel description You'll love to be beside the seaside at our Premier Inn Bournemouth Westbourne hotel, near the golden sands of Bournemouth beach. Whether you're building sandcastles or boosting business, you can count on having a great stay. Watch rugby sevens at Bournemouth Rugby Festival, or take five strolling along the Jurassic Coast. See the Red Arrows fly at the International Air Show, or paint the town red at at one of the city's bars or nightclubs. Finally, hop back to the hotel for a wholesome meal at our onsite restaurant, limited (chargeable) parking - allocated on a first come, first served basis - and, of course, our best bed ever.
