I loved my room simply because it was spacious. I also had a beautiful view of the garden and the Sea. First hotel room in Bournemouth, I had seen with good room dressers and a large enough wardrobe that contained an ironing board, a fan and an iron. I was pleased. The hotel is quite old but I kind of loved that old English feel, I felt like I was living in an old English mansion.

However, I wasn t very pleased with the cleaning, it s something I have noticed with all Britannia hotels, even though fresh towels are provided, they hardly ever change the bed sheets, rather they just make the bed and move. I lost my sock in the sheets while sleeping, my room was serviced before I came back and I still found the sock in the same position even though the bed was made. I spent a total of 7 nights there and I can t ascertain if the sheets were changed yet my room was serviced everyday. I also disliked the fact that you have to pay to use the pool and also to pay for internet. Internet is however available for free for 30 and 20 minutes to be renewed continuously if you need to use it.

Nonetheless, proximity to the beach and town centre, the beautiful garden and spacious room has won me over. I loved taking beautiful pictures in and around the hotel so I ll be staying again. Maybe this time, I may try the food and use the pool as well.
