Because of the steep hill, I was only able to go out once a day. But proximity to both the sea and the town made this acceptable. I enjoyed the fact that a DVD player was provided - I had a splendid time watching a whole series of 'Becker'! (107719312)

positive comments friendly staff freshly cooked, generous breakfast
negative comments I chose this hotel as it mentiuoned a bath, rather than shower, on your website - I was disappointed to find a tiny shower I could barely squeeze my body into! This hotel is at the top of a VERY steep hill - it may be worth mentioning this for less-abled potential guests. My favourite thing of the whole stay was that the hand towel was a bath towel torn in half - and not even hemmed!

A good autumn break. The immediate booking (same day) on the internet allowed a good break with no long term planning. (107831221)

positive comments Very good breakfast. Excellent location for coast, beach and town centre. Free parking after check out time. Efficient and pleasant office staff.
negative comments Room was rather dark - would have preferred a duvet to the sheets and blankets bed that we had.

The Bournebeat is still replacing or repairing some aspects of its old "Inver House Hotel" former image, eg. our broken shower fittings. However, everything worked (except the lift) on our overnight stay. We enjoyed the bar-lounge, our large sunny en-suite bedroom, and our breakfast. We were comfortable and well-looked after. All good value, and within a few minutes walk of the cliff-top, the beach, or the International Centre. (107811016)

positive comments Good position near beach & town centre. Private car park. Comfortable B & B. Some large bedrooms, well-equipped. Interesting decor in public areas ( Musical Memorabilia). Satisfactory breakfast. Staff obviously do a good job.
negative comments The only lift - serving four floors - was out of order during the weekend.

I would never stay here again, or recommend this hotel to anyone. Not worth (107284642)

positive comments Near the sea and town centre.
negative comments Visa card machine didn't work, had to go to town and get cash, no reciept given despite requesting one. Room was dusty,tired and shabby. Walls were the thinnest of any building I have ever stayed in. Window catches broken. Lino dirty. Moldy bathroom. Shower poor, doors broken. Offered an early breakfast if requsted, but had no staff and no idea we had requested it despite having booked this with two members of staff the prev night. All in all...useless.
