Just meh.
Distinctly Average. Very dated but reasonable price and clean. Wouldn't return but can't complain about anything.
Generally had a good stay - the room was comfortable and the breakfast was particularly good. The only complaint was that the walls were quite thin and we were kept awake at night by some people chatting loudly next door. For that reason we might hesitate to stay there again.
Rooms are beyond basic, decor is shabby 1970s without the chic, the taps wouldn't turn off in the bathroom and the shower pressure was pathetic. Parking is an extra £10 overnight on the weekend. Breakfast was pretty average for a hotel buffet, but I was astonished to be asked if I wanted anything from the bar, like a beer or spirits. It was 9:30AM!

Clean and comfortable
An expensive budget hotel. Clean and comfortable just a bit tired.
Hotel was in a great location. Staff friendly. Room a bit dated but was clean and comfortable. Only one lift working at the time which was frustrating. Some areas of corridors lights were out. Dining room was nicely set out, breakfast buffett varied choice. Good value for money.

Great staff and location but hotel is very dated
All staff on reception, bar and security were good and welcoming. The hotel is very dated but clean. The corridors are very noisy so did not sleep that well. Good location though and perfect for 1 night away.

One Night stay for night out.
Ok overall stay for the one night, as a place to lay your head it was what you need. Rooms were a little old fashioned, and had a strange smell. Nothing bad, just old smelling. It would be a good place to stay for hitting the town, or for the football.
Such a bad hotel with poor service! AVOID AVOID AVOID! If you do book (don’t) don’t expect to get a room anything like on the pictures. Made a complaint and emailed 4 times…can’t even be bothered to reply ! Expedia should be ashamed promoting this hovel on their site.

Bad Service
Hotel bathroom was still dirty when we arrived especially the shower/bath and sink. Worse part was when we tried to check out the receptionist had lost my car keys meaning we left an hour after check out when wanting to leave at 9 making me late for work! Very little apologies or actions were made to make the situation any better, the receptionist just said “the other staff put them someone and I can’t find them, it’s not my fault but I will text them and ask where” which was extremely frustrating and made us very late leaving

On a budget
Great location close to Bournemouth Uni campus, close to local amenities, walking distance to the beach. Hotel is old and dated but fairly clean considering the age. Breakfast has a good choice but could have been better with brewed coffee. Overall good for a budget stay of couple of days.
The room was dirty, had hair and dust all over. Shower curtain is in the middle of the bath tub, I wonder what was going on there! Had 2 tiny plastic spoons, which just “melt” when you are using them to make a cup of tea
But the beds were really comfortable. Bathroom was nice and clean.

Rough around the edges but otherwise fine
Stayed for 2 nights and checked in late after returning from Tenerife. Check-in is open 24 hours which was great. The hotel itself and the rooms are very dated but we have a really large room with a separate lounge which was fantastic. We included breakfast was a good selection of hot and cold options.

Not for me
The receptionist allocated my room to another visitors who tried to open the door while myself and my child where in the room. Very scary episode. When l complained the receptionist said she wrote another room but was a error and that was what it was... No apology l has to demand for it.
Also, breakfast was scheduled for 8am but wasn't open until after 8 the cleaner was still in there at 8am, l almost left as my child has a football match. Not very happy with the service really.
Having to pay £10 for paying overnight is a No No,
The Hotel was tired, dated and not particularly clean. On arrival we found our room smelt of smoke was not particularly clean money and some rubbish found on the floor. The furniture was old and badly stained there was a tile missing on the wall next to the shower and the floor tiles were old and tired.The bed mattresses were uncomfortable and the beds in need of replacement. We did complain but they said they were busy and showed little interest. We hopped things would improve in the morning only to find breakfast was also poor, with the coffee being make your own using a big water boiler and the breakfast being dry and certain items run out causing a 5 to 10 minute wait.
The hotel was clean and reasonably priced.
We weren’t aware of the 11pm curfew before arriving. This wasn’t an issue to us on this visit.
Breakfast buffet was good although the male staff member in the restaurant need to be more friendly.
My bad review of this property may appear a little unfair given that I never even set foot in it. However, that was through no fault of my own, and I am still paying for it now. I booked a 2 night stay here, only to be called at 6pm on the day of planned arrival to be told that they had overbooked my room for both nights, meaning that at 6pm I had to try to find another hotel in Bournemouth. Everywhere was fully booked, so I had to turn the car around and head back home again! I was told by the very unhelpful, unapologetic woman on the phone that no money would be taken out of my account but would be in a ‘pending’ account somewhere. This would then be refunded to me within 5 days. Over one month later I am still awaiting this refund. Every time I call either Expedia or the Roundhouse Hotel to find out where my money is, I go round and round in circles. No one working in the hotel seems to be able to clarify with Expedia that I never attended the hotel in the first place, and Expedia don’t appear to record any conversation I’ve ever had with them, meaning I spend much of my time explaining the situation again and again, only to be met with the same response “we are waiting on the hotel to confirm you never stayed there”. I will never use Expedia again, nor would I ever recommend the company to anyone else. As for the Roundhouse Hotel, if it’s service in house is anything like it’s customer service over the phone, I dodged a bullet by not staying there.
Very good location, closed to the sea, train station and local amenities.Very hot in the room, 5th floor even though the radiator wasn't on and temperature outside was normal for the time of the year
This is not a holiday hotel - it is very dated and needs rebuilding. Perfectly fine for a night in Bournemouth with your mates; you check in late and then go out and get hammered coming back at silly o'clock in the morning. The quality of the hotel is irrelevant with a hangover from hell. It doesn't cost very much to stay here for a night - expect what you pay for.
