We booked this through groupon for 1 nights stay (4/2) however we ended up not staying. Really old hotel. Our room on arrival was cold and furniture old and worn. I thought we should go down for the afternoon tea and try and make the most of it as it only cost £59.00. However whilst I was ordering my other... More

With the outside temperature ranging from around minus 4 degress C to plus 3 degrees C, I would have expected the hotel heating to be going at full blast - NOT THE CASE - when we checked in at about 3.00pm our room was but cold and were advised the heating would come on about 4.30pm. What should have been... More

We stayed at the Hinton Firs for one night (a Saturday) during January 2012. We were looking for a budget stay accessible to Bournemouth centre. The Hinton Firs staff were all very helpful throughout our stay. The communal lounges are comfortable, the rooms are adequate and clean, in line with the price we paid. It is an easy walk into...

Our booking was made through Groupon and was not made be use, we brought it has a package deal along with concert tickets. It was the tickets we really wanted so the hotel was abonus. The deal we had was for 1 night bed and breakfast with afternoon tea, a glass of fizz and a bottle of wine in our... More

Groupon deal. Still actually more expensive than across the road brilliant boutique hotel. Cold room. Tiny. old fashioned decor. Towels dreadful, threads hanging off all of them. Not worth money even on groupon. Much better available in this area. Housekeeping banging on door at 10.20 telling us to get out. Ordered afternoon tea on deal at 7.20 told would be... More

We have stayed here before and although I believe there has been a change in management, the hotel still seems much as it always has been - slightly old-fashioned but clean and comfortable. We find the location good, as we like to walk and don't mind the steep slopes - we can go either to Boscombe or Bournemouth centre, or... More

Helpful staff and good food made the stay we had quite good.The room I was in was in need of a general makeover particularly the shower facilities but you get what you pay for.One particular aspect you notice very soon after ariving is how warm it is in the hotel,you need the windows of your room open to make it...

Hotel is well located as its a 10 minute walk to the beach via a steep path. No sea views though as it is two blocks back. Hotel is perfect if you are not demanding and are over 70. Restaurant is run by teenage girls and breakfast organisation and quality is appalling. Rooms are large and comfortable and I am... More

We stayed in three single rooms which were quite pokey but clean. The bathrooms in particular need refurbishment - the showers were dreadful. The service at breakfast was very chaotic and slow. There's also a crazy charging policy which means that, even though I chose egg on toast with mushrooms instead of a full English breakfast, i was charged extra... More
