My stay at Heathlands Hotel was a mixed experience. The location is convenient, being close to Bournemouth beach, and I appreciated the spaciousness of my room. However, the overall condition of the hotel felt very tired and in need of refurbishment. There were cleanliness issues that impacted my stay, making it difficult to see the hotel as a valued destination.

My stay at Heathlands Hotel was quite the mixed bag. While I found the location convenient and the staff friendly, I was disappointed with the overall condition of the hotel. The cleanliness was acceptable, but the decor felt quite dated and the bed uncomfortable. Given the price, I can't be too harsh, but it didn't meet my expectations of comfort.

Rooms

The Standard Double Room was clean but in need of an update. I noticed some split seams on the duvet covers and a bathroom that felt quite dated. For the price point, I was expecting more in terms of comfort.

5.4/10

My stay at Heathlands Hotel in Bournemouth was far from what I had hoped for. The location is appealing, as it's close to the beach, but the state of the room left much to be desired. I found the decor dated and the cleanliness lacking, which made for a disappointing experience overall.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in was small and dated, with old furniture and a musty smell. I noticed brown marks on the walls and a dirty carpet, which made me uncomfortable. I had to change rooms due to noise, and while I was moved to another, it still lacked basic amenities.

Service

5.0

The staff seemed overwhelmed and unresponsive to complaints. For instance, I found the reception service lacking when the TV didn't work and basic facilities were not addressed properly. This experience left me feeling that management needs to take guest complaints more seriously.

Location

5.0

The hotel is in a lovely area with landscaped gardens, making it pleasant for walks. It's quite close to the beach, which was a plus for me during my visit. However, the surrounding area gave off a somewhat run-down and unsafe vibe at night.

Dining

5.0

Dining options were limited, with cold food offered during breakfast. The meals I had were not impressive and felt cheap, which did not meet my expectations for a getaway treat.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities were very basic, and many items like the kettle didn't even fit in the sink. The lack of a fan and the issues with the hot water tap contributed to a less than comfortable stay.
