The Ravensbourne Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Very cozy, well organized, well maintained, clean, unique amenities, pleasant and quiet neighborhood, close to shops in one direction and the beach in the opposite direction. Only 2 available on-site parking spots, but parking on the street looked ok. The owner, Karl, is a gracious and helpful host. This will be my go-to Bournemouth accommodation, as the location is very close to the family I have in the same area. Excellent rating from me on all points."
