The Royal Exeter Hotel, 1812 Lounge Bar

Very good value hotel in a convenient location close to the beach. Although the room and decor is dated it was spotlessly clean and no bad odours. Minor gripe was two unnecessary queries were raised - I'd paid breakfast and parking but these were both queried which made things less smooth. I noticed other reviews mention the nightclub noise, I stayed on a weekday so was not an issue but it is something to consider if you will be staying in those times. Overall I would certainly consider this hotel again as a good quality budget friendly option.

I hate the colour red bedrooms & overall theme ! I haven't booked here yet & I am not tempted to, I'm being asked by Google to review it because I've been looking at places to stay in central Bournemouth, near the BIC (Bournemouth International Centre) again & I've seen this Hotel before but forgot it's all red which puts me off, turns me away & makes me feel bad just looking at it, let alone, staying in a room & hotel surrounded by the colour red ! I don't know if it's just me, whether I'm alone in this ?! I don't understand why a hotel would force all guests to put up with this vivid colour, they could vary the room colour schemes to cater for different tastes and personalities, neutral colours are better cos can't really complain or maybe some would ?

While the location is great, the rooms are dated and threadbare, with stuff coming off of the walls. The saving grace could have been the service but the staff are rude and generally unhelpful. I wouldnt recommend the place. Its unfriendly, dilapidated and generally a big miss.
