I’ve been living at Purbeck House for almost two years, and my experience has been excellent from day one. The staff are incredibly kind, supportive, and professional. Special thanks to Lesley, Mario, Ali, and the night shift staff for always being helpful and welcoming.

Staff is very hospitable and friendly, and are understanding of your financial situation. The room itself is great, lots of drawer/shelf space and a carpet floor. Shower in the bathroom has had some issues where blockages have made the water rise up quickly during showers but maintenance regularly go in and help fix it even without you directly contacting them. Had a good stay so far

EVERYONE is here to support you in every possible way. The rooms are very nice and clean. The weekly events keep the experience as a whole VERY lovely

Thank you very much for a great stay during my course in Bournemouth 😊 All staff were so kind and helpful, and it's a friendly environment. The walls were thin so could hear noise sometimes, but value outweighs this as an issue since it's good value for short term situation in my case like being close to the train station.

Do not go here. Walls are paper thin, you can literally hear someone 2 doors away as if they were in the same room. They have a damp issue here, and they give you the bare minimum. Some of the dryers dont even work properly, they dont provide irons/ kettles and there's not even a plug by the bedside table??? And the heaters dont even heat the room up properly and not to mention the silverfish. Plus the cherry on top, you cant move the shower head, its fixed on the wall with bad water pressure. The only benefit is that the rooms are spacious, its cheaper and there is some storage but they give you the absolute bare minimum. 🫩
