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

Much nicer than a lot of hotels we’ve stayed in!
We enjoyed our stay, which was just for one night (somewhere to crash after a concert). The parking arrangement at the multi-storey across the road was brilliant and reasonably priced. There’s a nice bar and restaurant on site and our room was clean and warm. Very comfy bed, too! I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was given that it’s on a busy road. We also found the staff very friendly and helpful.

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.

Short kid free break!
Receptionist was a little short on help when arrived, parking information could be more detailed and included on web page as written on hotel notices.
The hotel was nice and accomodating, although its a little rough around the edges due to its age.
