Firstly, despite confirming our arrival time, we didn't receive any instructions on the location of the access to the building or how to enter. We walked about until we found a door at the back, behind McD's, where there are key safes on the wall, but we had no idea which one, or any code. A man appeared and asked what we were doing and if we were staying. He made a phone call to someone, not in English. He got a key from one of the safes and opened the door, and told us to follow him inside. We took a lift to the top floor and then climbed stairs to another floor, where he opened the door and let us in, gave us the keys, and left. On first inspection, the apartment seemed clean. The fridge door was open, and it was turned off, so it was not cold on arrival. I wasn't 100% convinced on the cleanliness of the bedding. It had some marks, didn't smell fresh, and the matress sheet was cheap, thin, and bobbly. There was no mattress protection on the mattress either, and the pillows were cheap basic. There are no shades on any lights. There's no bedside light on the one beside unit per room. The bed in one of the two rooms was a squeeze to pass by the end of the bed to the far side. Only one wardrobe with only one hanger in only one bedroom. Only one mirror in the bathroom. Furniture surfaces had coffee stains, and the hob had food remains stuck on as wasn't properly cleaned. There were no kitchen knives or scissors to cut anything if you were to prepare food. There is not enough seating in the living room for four people. The balcony was dirty with cigarette butt's and no privacy between apartments, so anyone else from another could potentially walk past. Towels are not provided (odd), but there were two towels in one bedroom. The overall quaily of fixtures and fittings throughout are poorly finished, no care or attention to detail, even protective film still in place, and the radiator in the bathroom leaking rust.

These apartments are in the best location if you are attending the O2, which is next door, although the entrance to the property is around the back of the building. Overall, it was clean enough and did us ok for just for one night, but would greatly benefit from being finished and furnished better.

Really minor, but no mirrors in any of the bedrooms and no pictures on any of the walls. Slightly difficult to find, but only because the entrance is being renovated currently. This will not be the case in the next couple of weeks.

Brilliant Location close to O2 Academy Bournemouth. Large spacious rooms. Newly decorated. Really reasonably priced. Very friendly and helpful staff.

There's nowt really wrong with the property itself, it's a basic and clean little room and I slept well. Boscombe is an absolute hovel. Junkies, drunks and other assorted troubled people. Luckily there seems to be as many police officers. I was offered a space behind the building to park for free but when a troubled young lady hung around my car I felt it was safer in the paid car park round the corner. Breakfast is good if you like McDonalds. I had their porridge and it was ok.

All of it the only nice thing was the poor chap who gave us the keys he was sleeping in the basment I think he was being trafficed

THE OWNER WANTED US TO LEAVE WHEN WE REQUESTED OUR MONEY BACK AND WE WOULD LEAVE< WE GOT NO REFUND AND HAD TO STAY AT THIS PLACE> BOOKING>COM DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP USE THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY USELESS BOOKING:COM This place is a construction site, not completed and not safe for habitation, the apartment was not finished the cooker was not bolted in, dust everywhere, no were to sit apart from a small old one seat thing, the owner is a scammer and this is some sort of front for something illegal, the guy who meet us looked exhausted. The apartment doesn't have a sea view, there are cameras everywhere its like big brother, the entrance hall was at first stage fit out for construction with a welcome rat box at the entrance was a building site no paint no flooring big holes in the wall, the front door didn't work properly, the outside was filthy, the corridors and stair were covered in brick dust and debris, the inside of the corridors there were excesses security cameras and this felt really creepy, it was like big brother, the flat its self the sink had no cap so when you ran the sink the water ran everywhere, the owner was really rude in text and said i was damaging his property. He asked us to leave when we highlighted the state of the place but refused to refund us our money. I am still battling to be refunded I have attached the screen shots from the owner who accused me of damaging his property the sink was held together with a plastic bag. The carpet was like a jigsaw all odd bits put together. This place is a front for money laundering and completely unsafe. The reviews are fake.

It looks like some people could possibly be posting reviews scores of 10 to skew the review scores on Booking.com The building is new but isn’t really finished yet. The apartment still has wires poking out of the wall. Looks like it was painted by somebody who isn’t a decorator. Plastered badly. Paint on widow frames, manufacturers labels on bathroom toilet & windows etc. Windows are filthy. Toilet had several hairs in the bowl. No lampshades. The construction of this building appeared to be rushed to get it nearly finished enough to get rooms occupied. The exterior brickwork to this building looked shoddy. Parking here is not advised as the manager stated “you park here at your own risk”. He mentioned this a couple of times so I thought it safer to park on a street nearby. The extractor fan of McDonald’s is noisy. We contemplated moving to a hotel nearby, but drove home after the music concert at the O2 instead of staying here.

The O2 Academy is next door. The beach is 10 minutes walk away. There are plenty of restaurants, fast food takeaways and bars nearby.

Unfortunately we had to book somewhere else to stay as when we arrived we realised the pictures online were quite misleading. This is basically a uni hall. Shared bathroom with strangers. Sofa and coffee table from someone’s house inside. No mirror or anywhere to hang your clothes. We found hairs in the bed on arrival.

The balcony size.

The only thing I have to complain about was there was no towels but that doesn’t matter but maybe in your ad just make people aware to bring your own.

The location was perfect for us, the apartments were very spacious and clean. Would definetly stay here again.

No plates even though you have cooking options there and there was no towels to use the shower or bath No family or friends can visit while in the property which isn’t the same in every Airbnb

Flat was nice

Stayed in March 2024

No fridge.

The property is fabulous, a 2 bedroom apartment situated in the centre of Boscombe, sea and city views and a balcony that goes right around the apartment. At present there is no working lift but one was being installed at the time of our stay. As it's brand new it does need a few things, for instance a Fridge (essential in a self catering holiday let), cupboards are not yet fully stocked, and cooking Utensils/Saucepans etc. Couldn't work out how to get into the tv channels, and need a WiFi password. None of this spoiled our stay however and we can't wait to return when all these things have been attended to. 10/10.
