During my stay at the Washington House Hotel, I appreciated the beautiful decor and proximity to local attractions, which created a charming atmosphere for relaxation. However, the noise levels were quite disruptive, particularly when trying to get a good night's sleep. I also had issues with parking availability, which added to the inconvenience. Overall, while the hotel has potential, there are significant improvements needed for a 4.5-star experience.

My stay at the Washington House Hotel definitely had its ups and downs. The cleanliness of the room was commendable, and the location was quite convenient for exploring Bournemouth.

I recently stayed at Washington House Hotel and while there were some lovely aspects, it also had its downsides. The building has a beautiful aesthetic, and the location is quite convenient for exploring Bournemouth's attractions. However, I experienced some disappointing issues like a damp smell in my room and inadequate plumbing that made showering problematic. Overall, it had great potential, but certain details need attention. 🌟
