Crazily expensive hotel £230 for what it is, esp for a solo traveller & no breakfast included. It was not conference season. On a noisy main road which meant closing the window on a warm night, though a fan was provided. My room was small & the bathroom tiny. Mirror was rusty & there was no valance on the shabby bed base. Basically comfortable if rather garish decor. But staff v welcoming & accommodating, nice garden, close to beaches etc.

This was my second stay at this hotel. Very nice hotel, staff very friendly, free parking, lovely garden area, very clean and spacious rooms. Didn't have the breakfast because I had to be out early. This has to be one of the quietest hotels I've ever stayed in, really calm atmosphere from staff and guests. I'm booked again for July for two nights and would highly recommend.

I stayed at Applewood for only 2 nights, but I couldn't have picked a better spot. Easy walking distance to the centre of town, 15 minutes to the Pavilion, the Wheel and the Pier. Local bus access to Boscombe, and Christchurch. The room, though small was perfect for a short stay unlike other short stay where I could hardly get in the shower, Applewood is well designed to make a small space feel bigger. I wasn't driving but there seemed to be ample guest parking. I didn't eat at the Hotel but the restaurant and bar looked very nice and welcoming. The only difficulty was, I arrived early in the day and couldn't get in the hotel, I rang the buzzer but there was no answer, so I waited. Another couple arrived who also rang the bell, after a short wait someone did come to the door and we were allowed to leave our bags, a small inconvenience for a great stay, Would definitely choose Applewood again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Applewood Hotel. The hotel is conveniently situated close to the beach (6 minutes walk) and the Town Centre shops (5 minutes). Free parking onsite was an added bonus. The room was clean and comfortable with all the amenities we needed. The receptionist was very helpful and always had a smile! Thank you for a great couple of days. I would definitely recommend Applewood and will stay again in the future.

We booked this hotel using my clubcard vouchers and seeing the loads of positive reviews of the place. We were excited to have the weekend away together and were really looking forward to it. Unfortunately we were extremely disappointed 😞 on arrival the staff member was lovely, sorted us out and we went to our room. The room straight away had a weird musty smell and it wasn't very clean, I went to use the toilet and noticed dried on poo up the back of the toilet. I felt sick so went to tell the lady. She was mortified bless her. She said she usually checks the rooms have been cleaned but hadn't checked this time. She apologised and said it was a shame as the manager had upgraded us to a bigger room (I had ordered a small double) she showed me two other rooms we could chose from, another big room or the one we initially booked. I checked the cleanliness of both rooms, neither were great, but the lady was so nice , I didn't want to keep on at her so we just went with the one we initially booked (smaller room). The room again was not clean and I felt so grubby being in it. We had no power with the cold tap, it was dribbling out and it was coming out warm and the shower had no power and stayed hot.

It was just dirty and not exceptional cleanliness like the reviews all said :( things were rusted, mould in the grout, marks on the walls, limescale etc. the hotel said they provided luxury shampoo and conditioner but they felt like they were watered down and made my hair feel dry.

Good location and free onsite parking at this well decorated period guest house run by a nice couple.
Budget second floor double room with shower, very small with one side of bed up against the wall - upgrade, slightly bigger first floor room with bathroom offered for £30 and taken!
Room clean and bed comfortable but position of furniture poor and bathroom tired (marks on bath, shelf below mirror missing but wall plugs still showing) and noisy plumbing (drain gurgling even when other rooms using their bathrooms!). Bathroom door had a self closing mechanism that made a loud noise when opened and closed.
Old building, soundproofing not good as could hear guests and staff in other rooms and in corridor from our bed.
Also, advised not to fill water bottle from cold tap in bathroom and to boil water for some reason but host filled water bottle from bar.
Did not eat or drink there as within easy walking distance of many restaurants and bars.

Good base to visit Bournemouth & surrounding areas

Arrived earlier than check in but was permitted to park our car there whilst we had a stroll to kill time. Short walk to the beach, downhill. Check in quick & room lovely, comfy bed & a great shower. Lobby area & garden all lovely too. A great base to explore Bournemouth & beyond. We travelled to Poole, studland, Swanage. A great place to paddle board at knoll beach & a fish & chips on a boat cruise from Poole harbour.

Away for work

I have stayed here quite a few times over the last 3 years. Always a great welcome, free parking and comfortable rooms. Venue is immaculately clean and this time I used the dining room to do some work, rather than in my room (which was 14). Room was a single bed room but enough space for 1-night stay. Ensuite is \"cosy\" but again good enough for a 1-night stay. The only let down was I asked for decaf tea/coffee when I made my booking and none was provided. TV in room was \"app based\" with no terrestrial channels, wifi was okay. Lots of places within walking distance to eat out / get takeaway.

The hotel was located about 10 to 15 minute walk from the beach in a quiet area. Breakfast was very nice and the staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside was no lift for elderly patrons and we had my wife’s parents with us in their 80s. Small thing and for most people I’m sure it wouldn’t be an issue. Would recommend this hotel

Really awful experience with the customer service and the cupboard that had been turned into a ‘room’ which was the length of the bed with a small space to get in and out. The owner/ staff refused to refund despite the panic the tiny cupboard room caused, and demanded more money or I leave without refund. There should be laws because this shouldn’t be classed as room- it like an old cleaning cupboard with a small window has been turned into an opportunity to make money. Very uncaring staff / owner. Do not recommend. I had to leave and lost my money.

We had a truly wonderful experience and thoroughly enjoyed our time in Bournemouth. The family room we stayed in was exceptionally clean and comfortable—everything was just perfect for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
What truly stood out for us, though, was the honesty and integrity of your staff. After we had checked out, we received a call letting us know that a very precious item—my wife’s engagement ring—had been found by the cleaning staff. We hadn’t even realized it was missing yet! Your team’s honesty in returning such a sentimental item meant so much to us, and we are deeply grateful.
It’s rare to find such genuine care and fairness these days, and it really left a lasting impression. Please extend our heartfelt thanks to your team for their honesty and professionalism.
We will absolutely be leaving a 10 out of 10 review, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you again for everything!
Warm regards,

2 day stay in Bournemouth

On arrival checked in, told second floor then realised no lift ( 4 flights of stairs). Bed extremely uncomfortable, seems 2 single beds pushed together so could feel mattress seams in middle. Room clean though couple marks on bedding. On departure gentleman was on phone so didn’t say anything and just took room fob !!, would have been nice to end call and ask if we enjoyed our stay !!!. Didn’t order breakfast as seemed pricey so can’t comment. Bar closed at 9pm which was a shame.

We chose this hotel because of the photos & good reviews. Good security, the decor is lovely.. Sadly we won’t be staying here again.
The photos of the family room with a bunk bed is deceptive. It is not as large as it appears in the photos. The Family room was too small for family of 4 (2 adults & 2 children aged 8-11. The queen size bed in the middle of the room was about 18 inches away from the wall & wall mounted tv, that was the gap to pass to get to the en suite & window area where there was a small swivel table & 2 chairs. Swivel table was annoying, it moved every time an item was placed on it. Carpet felt sticky when walking around barefoot. No wardrobe- just hanging cubby. As limited space, we made use of the Chest of Draws to try and keep things minimal and tidy as the room was so small, the draws were dusty inside. So clothing got dusty. The En suite was very small. Bodywash etc too high to reach for my youngest, also sink was cracked & the extractor fan didn’t work- it seemed to be blowing air in rather than sending it out.
No lift, all rooms are on 1st & 2nd floor via stairs. Didn’t order breakfast, it was a tad expensive for what was on offer. We went into the city centre & had a nice cooked breakfast for less. Car parking - free, states to park considerately. When we arrived back after a day out, the car park was full, 1 car had parked in the middle of 2 spaces. When informed the staff, they did nothing and told us to park in front of the shed and bins.

The family room is clean overall and seems newly renovated. Modern and trendy room. Free parking near the town center and close to beach and restaurants. Good location. The only problem is probably the towels are not quiet clean so we used our own towels.

I stayed one night with a dried as we were going out clubbing. It was a gorgeous place. My only bug bear as the lighting when getting ready was a little dull and could have done with a full length mirror. The bed was so comfortable. The shower was powerful and hot, which was lovely. Receptionist was very friendly. Didnt stay for breakfast as was quite a late night but would definitely go back. Good value for money. Thank you.
