Pebbles Apartments Hotel on St Michael's Road, Bournemouth
Our verdict

The Pebbles Hotel is a good fit for guests who want to choose exactly how much space they pay for. On one address on St Michael’s Road it offers compact rooms, family rooms, apartments with a kitchen and a two-bedroom penthouse with a sea view, all with parking directly in front of the building.

Who it suits

Solo travellers and couples on a short stay book the compact double rooms, known as Pebbles 1, 2 and 3. Families or small groups take Pebbles 4 or 5, the family rooms with a double bed and twin beds; the families reviews show what guests with children say. The one-bedroom apartments, Pebbles A and B, have a full kitchen and suit longer stays. For a special trip, the two-bedroom penthouse has sea views.

What guests praise

Reviews on this site rarely name the building, so the Booking.com listing score shown above, from a large number of guest reviews, is the fairest measure of Pebbles. What Flexiestays guests praise overall, clean rooms, comfortable beds, easy self check-in and parking included, applies here. Guests who write about parking across Flexiestays call it one of the best parts of the stay, as the parking reviews show, and at Pebbles it is right outside the door. Booking for a conference? Staying near the BIC covers the walk and the practical details.

The honest caveats

  • The double rooms are compact: bright and well kept, but small. If you want to spread out, book an apartment.
  • Rooms do not have a kitchen; the studio and the apartments do.
  • It is on a town-centre street, 6 to 7 minutes on foot from the beach, so only the penthouse has a sea view.
  • There is no reception, and the gym and games room are at The Shore House Hotel, about five minutes away.

Practical facts

Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 10:00. The door works with a smart-lock code, sent with your parking bay before you arrive. Parking on site is free. Most apartments do not take pets; the exact terms for your booking are shown at checkout, so ask the team before you book (see the pets policy). Westbourne is about 10 minutes on foot, and the pier and the town centre 15 to 20 minutes.

Great location and amenities

Location was great (a 5, 8 minute walk to the beach) along with the cleanliness and facilities. Free parking is a bonus. Highly recommend for families.

There were two of us visiting Bournemouth for a couple of days so Jon's apartment was in an ideal location to explore the town. Great restaurants a few minutes walk away including Old Harry's Rock bar and restaurant. Very relaxed atmosphere and great food. The apartment was immaculate and had everything you would need to enjoy your stay. The kitchen had everything we needed and all of the appliances appeared to be new. We were able to park in a designated space outside the apartment block which was a bonus as parking in the area is fairly limited. For the level of space, attention to detail and high quality finishes throughout, this apartment represented great value. I can highly recommend!

We needed a place to stay while waiting on our house purchase

We needed a place to stay while waiting on the final stage of our house purchase. Flexiestays was a brilliant option for us. 3 months at a very decent price, free off road parking, great location in the centre of town without feeling loud and we never had an issue with other guests. The team were always happy to help and the facilities were decent. We look back on our time with Flexiestays fondly.
