Fairly pleasant in a pinch
Reception area and 1812 bar/club nicely decorated. Staff pleasant. Good location. If you want to have a good nights sleep, this isn't the place for you. Loud music until gone 4am, clearly heard from the 3rd floor. Car park a bit tricky to find and limited space. Found a big cobweb on the ceiling.

Loved it. Clean, friendly and fun. We went to a show across the road. Came back to a real party in the bar. Great band and DJ. We left around 2. There was a little distant sound but not intrusive to keep us awake. Highly recommend if your up for fun. If you want a quiet weekend this is not for you.

We had a wonderful weekend in Bournemouth at the Royal Exeter. We were especially happy with the hospitality of the staff in the 1812 bar. The happy hour is generous and good value. Breakfast was great too. Would recommend There was of course sound from the bar/nightclub but wasn’t too bad. We were on the 2nd floor

Won't be using that hotel again!
I wouldn't recommend this hotel. I've never been to a hotel where they offer you a pair of ear plugs on arrival. I stayed on a Friday night and their nightclub, which is in the hotel, didn't finish until 4am so got absolutely no sleep. Rooms are tired and the bed was uncomfortable. Would have got a better night's sleep kipping in my car.

The hotel was cleaned and comfortable, however the music really loud up further than 00.00am. No way to sleep without earplugs. We were not aware at all about the hotel charged 8£ for parking every day. When we arrived they said that they will charge 8£ because we booked the hotel with Expedia. However, when we left the hotel the last day they said that they will charge 8£ per day because the parking. They didn't mention that at all the first day, that we would be charged every day 8£ for the parking, they said that it was because we booked the hotel with Expedia.
