Bunkhouse Bournemouth - Hostel

Bournemouth

We stayed for a weekend and It was in a great location. Next door to a huge Nisa/Co-op and a pub/restaurant which served nice breakfast, 5 minutes to the beach, about 5-10 minutes to the shops. Could not fault the location! However the rooms were a different story, very basic - the mattresses were so springy I hardly slept, the floor was dangerous with splinters everywhere, there was water leaking from the the floor above onto a fire hydrogen, our sink in one of the bathrooms was leaking and the door waa getting stuck. I am sorry but I would not stay here again.

Very Basic

The hostel is very close (a few minutes on foot) to the beach and to the town centre (important: for the town centre go the opposite way from the way to the beach:) You will get there in a few minutes on foot rather than half an hour or so going in a long circle - as I did with my kids! - the other way). The rooms are very secure with their own individual code to press on a panel. The owners are friendly and discreet and they leave you alone. The rooms are clean and comfortable, if a bit basic (e.g. if you're a bit overweight, you might struggle in the narrow loos!). The toilets and showers are shared by the neighbours on the floor (about 2 or 3). They have a small tv set in each room and a power point. Wifi works. The aspect of the hostel could be a bit improved by painting the hallway walls in some bright, clean colour, but this is probably not essential. There is breakfast available, but we didn't use it. All in all, probably more than adequate for having somewhere safe to sleep while exploring the seaside for a few days.

comfortable but very basic

Room: mattress' were very springy, room was slightly small but clean. Room had one open window and no AC. We were on the top floor so WiFi was good at times and bad at times.

Shared spaces: bathroom and shower was shared. Spaces were clean enough, but shower room and toilet room were a squeeze. You need your own toillertries and towel. There is a kitchen where you can use kettle, fridge and cutlery/plates. Oven wasn't working. Tea/coffee/milk provided.

Location: excellent! Five minute walk from beach, Nisa supermarket 1 minute away - some fair priced restaurants nearby (good chip shop with huge portion of chips for £2, Korean restaurant etc), easy to get to pier and into town.

Staff: super friendly and helpful. They give you a code to come in and out so no keys required. You can text with any questions and they answer straight away. 

Overall, generally good but overpriced. Not too loud, staff were helpful and nice, shared space, great location. 

Basic but good

Stayed at Bunkhouse with 2 sons for one night. The room itself was clean and the beds very comfy but the shared bathroom was filthy. None of us dared venture into the mouldy shower!! It was extremely noisy with drunk people shouting until all hours. At least we were at the top of the house! And someone let off the fire alarm at 3am as a joke. 
The reception guy was very welcoming and lovely. 
If you are looking for VERY basic accommodation to sleep for the night with no frills then this is the place for you. 
There was free WiFi but it didn’t work unfortunately. 

Very Basic Accommodation 

Just stayed here for 1 night lucky, I’m a tarmacer so I’m not posh in any way but I wouldn’t let my dog stay here. Springs coming out of the mattress, curtains made out of ply wood!! Yes that is right ply wood, and bunk beds made out off some waste 2x2 wood. Oh and 1 shower to share for all the room. Lovely

Don’t stay unless u are paying £10pn

It was a nice location, clean and all as we expected. I found it a little bit expensive for a hostel. Nice people and we spend a good time there. It will be good to have a socket per bed, but anyway enough sockets in the room.

Nice location

BB is an ideal location for a Stag group. Very basic setup but exactly what is needed for a weekend where you are just crashing at the end of a night out.

Simon managed the booking really well and was very accommodating when I had to adjust the numbers last minute.

Would recommend for large groups

Stag Weekend

I booked this place for myself and 24 others. They text me the codes the day before so getting in and settled was very easy. Parking wasn’t great as the roads were always full but there was a car park five minute walk away which was £10 for the whole day which isn’t too bad. We were a bit noisy but the manager Just came up and was very polite and asked to keep the noice down which we did. The rooms were amazing! Beds not that comfortable but fine after a night out! None of us could work out how to get hot water on the showers which was a pain. Perfect for big groups and so much cheaper than a hotel! When returning to Bournemouth I would definitively book here again!
