Review summary

Carrington House Hotel is conveniently located, with easy access to both Boscombe and Bournemouth, and within walking distance of public transport. Many guests have found the rooms clean and spacious, with some at the rear of the hotel as per request, and well-equipped with tea and coffee facilities; also, BIG towels are a plus. The breakfast offers a wide selection, though some guests have noted that the sound insulation could be improved.

Solid stay for the price

helpful staffbudget pricefree parkinggood equipment
I found the reception staff helpful when I misplaced hotel. The hotel offers a great price for a budget traveler. I appreciated the ample free parking available in its large car park. Navigating the one way system around the hotel was easy. The leisure area had very good equipment.
The window in my room was difficult to open fully limiting fresh air.

Mixed Experience with Some Definite Drawbacks

poor servicelimited options
The evening meal was a letdown. I waited five minutes to be seated in the restaurant. No staff was, and no one was eating. The bar offered only crisps as a snack. Notices indicated only card or mobile payments were accepted. The receptionist could not suggest alternative dining options either.

The receptionist, Mr Shaghasi, was helpful. He welcomed us warmly and showed us the tea and coffee table available each evening. Live singing in the bar area was also something I attended. The weekly schedule for the singers was posted on the notice board.
The room was not clean. I saw a dirty radiator, light switches, and a shower soap dispenser that didn't work. There was no cleaner for the duration of the stay.
