STAY WELL CLEAR
PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. The place is absolutely DIRE, I don't even want to leave one star! The rooms are NOTHING like the photos, I booked a family room and it was tiny, broken drawers and dirty carpet, there is nobody manning it, all the outside doors are open, anyone can walk in, the dirt and filth outside is disgusting, including a pair of boxer shorts covered in poo! I had to waste time calling customer service in London, who changed us to a twin room and there was already someone in it! My son, baby and I were left with no room to stay in and they refused a refund!

Avoid this hotel. You have been warned!
Hotel un-manned. Had to ring a London number to get code for main door & room door. We booked 3 rooms. Each room was similar. Bathroom ceiling covered in mould. Wall paper torn off walls. Dirty carpets. Toilet tissue left on bathroom floor from previous guest. Electrical front box missing from air conditioning socket on bedroom wall exposing wiring. What should have been a bar area, was crammed with mattresses & furniture. Whole hotel was grim & needs renovating. Feels like its a hotel used by Council for emergency accommodation. Hotel should carry a health warning. Avoid at all costs!

0/10 worst hotel I have ever stayed at. STAY AWAY.
0/10, worst hotel (if you can call it that) not cleaned at all (food on the floor, dirty dishes in the room, bin full of rubbish and more), horrible smell when walking in, no staff to be seen anywhere, other people we booking other hotels when we arrived. no toilet seat, no curtains on one of the windows. Just a mess and a place I will never stay again. I would recommend removing this hotel ASAP.

Horrendous experience. Room not ready by 4pm, in fact, the room was already occupied. No curtains hanging in the room, filthy throughout the entire hotel, no bar, no staff on hand, rude customer service until I got through to main office and they changed hotel for me. I booked a sea view with a balcony, ended up staying in a different town, in a box of a room a mile and half from the seafront. This hotel is nothing like advertised, more of a hostel, shut it down or sort it out!

There was nothing unique about this property, will never stay there again, absolute disgusting place to stay, nobody at the check in desk, had to ring a number left at the desk, no towels, no aircon working due to wires cut, had to move a dirty stained chair near the plug socket so i could plug in the kettle, dust everywhere, holes in the wall, no tv remote. balcony door left unlocked, no key for that door, bar downstairs not open, one person was told he had to stay there until the local council found him another place to stay, another couple had been waiting a hour to check in, i have checked other reviews. The Bonair Hotel is on my list of not to stay there again.

Some of the light fittings coming away from the wall, carpets completely stained, cups were dirty, air con not working and very hot at the top, window safety features were also broken and rubbish left under beds from possibly last occupants of the room, maybe before! if you needed a member of staff they were nowhere to be seen

Not great
Staff wasn't available a lot. My room door wouldn't lock at all and couldn't find anyone to help with that. Had to go find staff to get towels as none was in the room. 1 chair at the balcony was broken. Needs a lot doing, got good potential to be a good B&B / Hotel. Served the purpose to stay one night but wouldn't go again.

The owners / staff seemed like they couldn't be bothered. I was called the day before by some 'call centre' representing the hotel to check my arrival time. I was told by them that an 11am arrival would be fine but there was no one to be seen at this time. We returned at 1pm only to be told the room still wasn't ready as the cleaners were late and it could be as late as 5pm. We went back, again, at about 4pm to find it was finally ready. The room itself wasnt too bad, although there were a previous guests sweets and wrappers left on a window sill and some old shoes chucked on the roof directly outside our window. Also, the only hotel I have ever been to that doesn't provide towels!!! We'd only booked it to get a good view of the airshow and left immediately afterwards. Would never stay here again or recommend to anyone.

We arrived 3.30p, no staff around. When we eventually found someone we were told room not ready. Check in should have been available 3pm. We were tired after a long journey and no facilities in hotel to buy a cup of tea or cold drink. We had to walk to another establishment. When we eventually got in the room there were only 2 towels for 3 of us booked into a family room. The tray for tea and coffee making had nothing on it so we had no kettle or cups to make a drink in the room. Surprised that no TV as all hotels we stop in always have a TV

Would not put my dog in here. Full of homeless people, the pictures you displayed misleading. My wife is disabled so she cant use staircase lift not working so can't access bedrooms. We were forced to find alternative accommodation, so we never used Bonaire hotel. Please refund amount paid to settle this complaint. No further action will be taken in this regard. If refund not received within 48 hours further action will be taken. Thank you.
