Good Points: Everything!!
Further Comments: The staff at the hotel were excellent - friendly and helpful. We were able to leave our bags before check in and after we had checked out. As we had no car this was invaluable. The food was excellent and the room was clean. We ate breakfast and had sunday lunch and the food was very good. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff who made the weekend a very enjoyable one.

Good Points: Value for money and convenience to city centre
Bad Points: slightly tired looking
Further Comments: The value for money was very good, however staying only one night limited our experience. Would certainly consider booking again if staying for a few nights.

Good Points: Very friendly staff, great location and good value for money.
Further Comments: We needed a hotel for one night as we were over from Ireland for a concert in the BIC. For this propose the hotel was perfect. It is a 3 minute walk from the BIC and beach, and only 15 mins in a taxi to the airport. I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone visting Bournemonth.

Good Points: Nice and quiet. Had a good night's sleep.
Further Comments: I didn't realise it was in such a central area of the town. Was worried it might be noisy but it wasn't. The free car parking space was also another reason I booked.

Good Points: 1.The location. 2, Staff - the check-in lady was extremely helpful as on-line we had only been able to book a single and a twin - she swapped it for a triple, with a smile! 3, The bar/breakfast room was modern with a fantastic view/entrance to the public gardens.
Bad Points: The bathroom needs updating and the bedroom was a close second. The car park was like a slide-puzzle, leave one space and all the cars had to be shuffled around in the morning - the poor guy who had to stand guard so that I didn't get a parking ticket when they moved my car into the road when they wanted to get a car out.
Further Comments: This is a perfect hotel for an overnight stay or a couple of nights - The bar overlooking the gardens was great, but I'd find the room a bit too dated for a longer stay (old fashioned, especially the bathroom)and it would be frustrating if you were using the hotel as a driving base - purely because of the performance to get your car out of the car park, but.... I am basing this on a one-night stay on a Friday night. It could be completely different on a weekday.

Good Points: Our stay at The Lampeter was enjoyable, the room was large and tidy as were the bathroom facilities (nice big towells!) and all common areas of the hotel. It was a perfect spot for the conference center (5 min walk) and there were lots of good little restaurants & takeaway options nearby. 10 min walk to the sea but the weather was not condusive to walks on the beach during our weekend unfortunately!
Bad Points: The inhouse restaurant served good food but the service was very very slow, 40 mins for a hot sandwich and a few crisps on the side! We gave them the benefit of the doubt and went back but every time it was the same, fine in an evening when you have no other plans but frustrating when you want to be off doing things. The bed was small and we could feel the springs through the mattress but they provided ample pillows which was a nice change. Tiny TV on a brace on the ceiling was practically useless.
Further Comments: For the price we paid it was a good little hotel, pleasant and comfortable enough. Perfect if you do not intend to be in your room for long and want a base close to the sea/conference center etc. Be warned regarding the restaurant service (quality of food good though), this is the first time in a long time both my husband and I agreed not to tip, they didnt have a clue about standard table waiting practices and there were plenty of other options close by charging same prices.
