Pros: 1) excellent location, 5 mins walk from Bounremouth Int'l Centre and beach; 2) free, fairly quick wifi; 3) clean bathrooms. Cons: 1) pretty shabby interior, don't think it can have been decorated in last 20 years; 2) breakfast not included; 3) my bedsheets had some old stains. Happy to recommend if location (and wifi!) is more important to you... more

This hotel is cheap but cheerful. Yes it could do with a little more attention on the interior, for instance we had a ripped chair cover and the paintwork needed an uplift. But if you want a clean, friendly and cheap place to stay in Bournemouth it is not bad. Centrally located within easy walking distance of the Beach and... more

Me, my wife and two children stayed for 3 nights. The pros: 1. Free wifi (this is important to me) 2. Location. It close to the beach and pier as well as The Square. 3. Friendly hosts. The hosts we talked to were pleasant and helpful. The cons: 1. Condition. It was a little run down - a fresh coat... more

This is my second visit to the fairmount and am still very pleased with the rooms and serviced offered. I read the last comment on trip adviser and must say that I have never had a problem with my credit card and any quotes that I have received. It is so nice that you can see the improvements to the... more

Then made a further call to confirm the amount of people staying with the general manager taking my name and confirming the price of each person staying £25. Rang with credit card details to... more

Me and my boyfriend have recently returned from a weekend break to Bournemouth, where we stayed in the Fairmount Hotel. We booked the hotel through Lastminute.com at fairly short notice, and really chose it as it was cheap (around £95 for one double en-suite room for two nights). We didn't expect anything amazing for that price, but did find the... more

Hotel was clean and quiet. Clean towels were provided every morning. Security was good as front door was locked at night and each person was given their own key. No bath! But the shower had plenty of hot water. Overall a pleasant stay. The only negative was the lack of information given to us on arrival, e.g. check out time... more

I booked this hotel on LateRooms at the amazing rate of £17.50 per night for the whole of the LibDem conference when hotel rooms were very hard to find for less than £50. It was advertised as a "small single en suite" and I know enough of UK hotels not to expect to be able to swing a cat in... more

I came over for a hen&stag party this summer and stayed with a group of 20 people over the weekend. It's a charming family owned hotel with free parking spaces, good English style food, very friendly and helpful staff. The location is superb, too as you can easily walk to the town center or the beach without having to take... more
