The first thing that greeted us was the smell! I was staying here with my two daughters aged 24 and 14, it was a girly weekend going to see Peter Andre in concert. The cost was £75 b&b. The room was very tatty and tired, the shower room had expanding foam everywhere and was grubby, the shower mat was disgusting... more

Just returned from the Safari Bistro Hotel and it's an excellent budget hotel. Fantastic location within a five minute walk of all the centre of Bournemouth. The hotel is brilliant value for money at only £50 for a Friday night stay. The owners are friendly and made us feel welcome when we arrived. On site free car parking was a... more

The reception was dusty, old fashioned and very tiny. It was literally a cupboard under the stairs! The hotel owner... more

The most disappointing hotel I have ever had the misfortune to come across. A pit of disppear, a complete hole! You couldn't pay me to stay here again! It was dirty throughout, animals were running over the tables - eating areas and the customer service from the owners was dispicable! The room was tiny and our 'doube bed' was two... more

Have just returned from a weekend away and stayed at the safari hotel for 2 nights, was sorely disapointed upon arrival. The images and description was NOT anything like the hotel! Everything old and dirty and looked like it needed to be binned or replaced. Our room was awful, dirty, crappy old carpet coming away from the floor, suspect looking... more
