Short Break at Very Central Hot
A very comfortable small room but adequate. Very nice breakfast and staff are truly amazing.
Excellent location and neighbouring eateries.
Major drawback is parking adjacent car park poorly maintained and not secure but very cheap £7 for 24 hours. BiC £22.50 for same period.

Great hotel!
It was just an overnight stay. Found Central Park last minute as I needed a rest. What a lovely hotel. Staff were brilliant. Friendly, helpful and efficient.
Breakfast was included. Arrived at the restaurant at 7am so got a window table overlooking Bournemouth Beach. Lovely view as it was a sunny morning.
Had the best night's sleep ever!
I certainly recommend this hotel.

AJ is amazing
The place needs a bit of TLC but the Receptionist AJ is a super star and was so friendly and supportive.
Breakfast was ok but nothing special, a bit cold and no fresh fruit choice.
I will stay again purely due to good location

Park Central hotel.
Very well priced for the room and breakfast. Breakfast was excellent with good choices and helpful and friendly staff. The room was very comfortable and great shower and facilities in the room such as teas, coffees and a bottle of water, which was a nice touch. Room was warm and fairly quiet - no noise from other guests.

No real issues and good value
Reception service very good. Bar service very good but didnt spend much time there. Rooms ok but general decor a bit old school, seaside guesthousey, clean but not modern. Very clean. Mattresses poor. Soundproofing poor. Good value. Location near seafront good. Recently decorated.
