Three Top Hotels Yards From Bournemouth Beach Being Used as Migrant Accommodation Sparking Fury From Tourists and Locals
Three top hotels yards from one of Britain’s favourite beaches are being used as accommodation for asylum seekers during the peak summer season, sparking fury from tourists and locals. The Sun has the story.
Holidaymakers in Bournemouth say they are fed-up at forking out thousands of pounds while illegal migrants are put up for free 200 metres from the seafront.
The hotels — all within walking distance of Bournemouth’s seafront — have been closed to the paying public for more than a year.
Home Office officials have taken over the 79-room Chine Hotel, the 102-room Roundhouse Hotel and 123-room Britannia Hotel.
Around one million visitors book hotel stays in Bournemouth every year and there are fears the arrival of any more migrants in the Dorset town could severely damage its £1.3 billion tourism industry.
And this week there was anger among paying holidaymakers.
Retired great-grandmother Susan Beacham, 70, of Cheltenham, Gloucs, forked out £1,400 for a week’s stay with her daughter at the Hampton by Hilton near the town centre.
She told the Sun: “I don’t think they should be in hotels like that if they’ve come here illegally.
“That they’re on the seaside makes me cross. It makes me scared to walk around at night when we’ve paid so much to come somewhere nice.
“If they’re trying to escape a warzone, then I understand why genuine asylum seekers would come here.
“But the hotels for people who aren’t here legally are a waste of money, especially if they cross from France, because it’s a safe country.
“The billions on this are taking away money from the NHS — which I need because I haven’t been well.”
Stewart Brown, 34, and Philip Finch, 75, from Cambridge, said putting an asylum hotel by the seaside could scare off young families.
PE teacher Stewart said: “It doesn’t sit nicely with me. We’ve spent about £1,200 to come here. Before I came down, my dad made me aware of the asylum hotels.
“I think if you were staying around there you might feel uneasy about it, especially if you have young children.
“I suppose if you start seeing reviews saying that the crime rate around this area is increasing, I think it would be blocking people coming into the area on holiday.”

Was having a drink on Bournemouth beach yesterday. Heard a group from the North of England complaining that they were paying twice for their rooms – once for themselves and once more for the illegal migrants.
Placing these people good for nothing in luxury hotels at the seaside during the holiday season does seem like a deliberate provocation.
I say, you provoking us? OK, bring it on.
Everybody keeps saying protest but keep it peaceful.
Protest, and if/when it gets tasty because the filth have bussed in some hired help, we’ll f@ck them and bring it on BLM style mostly peaceful, but frankly without the plausible threat of serious violence we’ll get nowhere.
accommodation for asylum seekers
They are not asylum seekers. They come from safe countries. They are part of the state-sponsored invasion we’re undergoing.
Regarding RNLI – If you were to arbitrarily set to sea in an inflatable with just your family and cross the English Channel from France to England you would probably feel the full force of the law and heavy criticism from RNLI for endangering your family and wasting time and money of the RNLI. The suicidal empathy shown to people that knowingly play on our naivety is a serious danger to all of Western culture. It is probable that the people smugglers are spinning a narrative that you get a free life in the UK (true) and you are entitled to take what you can because we are infidels and all our wealth was stolen from the countries they came from (a Marxist lie). It is very telling that our leaders consistently fail to fight our corner especially failing to argue against the Marxist/Islamist narrative that we should are guilty because of our past (false), and we must pay some eternal reparations (false in the extreme).
They couldn’t care less.
Yes, and Premier Inns have categorically stated that they do NOT use any of their hotels for this purpose. So, go to Premier. They have stated on X: “Hi, we can confirm we don’t provide accommodation for anyone seeking asylum in any of our Premier Inn hotels. We don’t have a contract with the Government to do so, and we won’t be seeking one.”
I’m sure it’s deliberate on the part of conventional media reporters but I do wish interviewees were more alert to the trap: by complaining about the inconvenience or cost to themselves of caring for illegal migrants, interviewees opinions can be dismissed as selfish. If instead they focused on the unfairness against our own indigenous deprived and destitute and the strain on taxpayers as a whole they would be less easy to denigrate.
I believe they have a right to state that. They don’t have to play the game that it’s our age old responsibility to look after people who want a better life. The refugee treaties were written in the 1950s after WWII. They weren’t meant for a global connected world.
“If they’re trying to escape a warzone, then I understand why genuine asylum seekers would come here.”
In all photos I have seen of refugees escaping from fighting it is usually old people, women and children and rarely young men of fighting age. In addition these men are bringing a ‘warzone’ with them considering the death and mayhem that has arrived on a shores in recent years. All previous genuine refugees, such as the Huguenots, Poles, Jews, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc. did not ever attack the indigenous people of these Islands, even while putting up with a background noise of racism.
My father died of dementia when he was 86. This dementia came on about a year after a very stressful time getting a couple out of his flat that were not paying rent. He used a letting agency to rent out his flat and the couple paid 1 months rent and then nothing. He was unable to get any assistance in either getting the rent or getting them out. They were eventually removed from the flat by force. The man had attacked his partner with a hammer and so the Police smashed the flat door in and removed them. My sister (in her 60s) and our Father then had to get the door repaired and redecorate the flat – there was blood on the walls as they were heroin addicts. At this time it seems there was a programme to get people having a ‘hard time’ in Liverpool away from there and into somewhere nicer, in this case, Bournemouth. The letting agency knew what this couple were like, as heroin addicts, and placed them in my Father’s flat causing him considerable stress and upset and loss of his hard earned money – I cannot forgive the pathological altruism of those… Read more »
My son went to university in Bournemouth 20 years ago. It was grim then, long before they started putting up migrants in the hotels there.
My Father’s experience was in the 1990’s when this programme of re-housing Liverpool Heroin addicts in Bournemouth came about.
We keep banging the same drum, but nevertheless, a good, on point article which makes a lot of sense. There were over twenty protests going on yesterday all around England. Some great footage, if you’ve not already seen it; ”The willingness to accept an infinite number of immigrants into the West in the name of “equality of opportunity” and “man’s humanity to man” has diminished in public opinion for a vast array of reasons—but to limit it to the critical few: People in the Western world have discovered that not all cultures are equal; that some religions and cultures are not compatible with Western culture and morals that the desire to integrate into another culture is rare; and that there are a lot more basket-case countries in the world than previously imagined, and it is not possible or desirable in terms of quality of life or aesthetics to accommodate everyone in a handful of Western countries. When people say, “Not all migrants,” they are, statistically speaking, correct. Not every migrant to the UK is a rapist or rapist-in-waiting. Some demographics are more responsible than others for these inflated figures. A freedom of information request revealed that per 10,000 people, “Afghans and Eritreans were more… Read more »
The amount of manpower that is wasted on these Lefty protests is just unreal. Look at them all! Just don’t let them be anywhere near the main protest. That way there would never be any trouble. Ensure they go to a completely different part of the city. How many shoplifters might be apprehended or burglaries solved if these officers were able to go about their duties where they were needed, fighting crime like they’re supposed to? They don’t catch shoplifters because they’re too busy babysitting and escorting Antifa!
And check out the sheer number of masked-up hostile muppets;
”An antifa march has now joined the SUTR counter protest at the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf. They were escorted down the road by the police, unlike the women and children’s march here on Sunday.”

This is Bournemouth;. Why are the police filming peaceful protesters? So they can identify them and knock on their doors later?
”Outside Britannia Hotel where locals are making their voices heard – bug concerns with crime stabbings sexual assaults & community safety
Why are police filming us & not ‘counter protesters’?
Pls share – its happening across Britain today.”

During the winter months, a lot of the hotels are booked for “Ladies Weekends”,each event brings in several thousand pounds to each hotel that is booked, the hotels also know that they never get any issues or trouble at these events, fairly easy money
I personally know of 2 such events due to take place later this year, that have been cancelled.
People are simply not prepared to go to Bournemouth at the moment.
My son went to Bournemouth Uni about 15 years ago. At that time it was still a fairly genteel town and generally safe to walk around, regardless of whether you were male or female.
Now it isn’t. Now, having been “enriched” by the consequences of mass immigration from the 3rd world, and the more recent imposition of criminal migrant hotels, it is an increasingly unsafe, dangerous and run-down dump.
I used to visit my son fairly regularly when he was living in Bournemouth. Now, although I now live in Dorset, I avoid it like the plague. And there is no way I would go to the beach, walk through the Chine or stroll through the park on my own …. with groups of criminal migrants loitering, drinking and just generally acting in a threatening manner.
I was born near Bournemouth, moved away at 18 to London and surroundings for about 20 years (although my parents stayed so I visited regularly) and came back to the surrounding area a few years ago now.
As a female, I do still feel fairly safe here. Admittedly I never go into Bournemouth at night, which is undoubtedly a different kettle of fish, but I’ve had no problems in the daytime. It is increasingly run down of course (like almost everywhere these days) and it’s obviously ludicrous to be housing migrants in a seaside town tourist hotel – or any hotel anywhere if you ask me – but I still think it’s better than a lot of places.
The Tories could have fixed this by using their 80+ majority to leave the ECHR and get Rwanda up and running. Alas…
