Spotless clean warm room
Best located hotel in Bournemouth
The hotel is a bit tired looking but we couldn’t fault the cleanliness and the attitude of the staff. Will definitely return as the ideal location for the Pavilion theatre
Like most of our seaside resorts and hotels this hotel is showing its age. for a four star hotel the food was ok but if you are going to offer a minimal menu then at least do it well.
If you do not have ample parking for your guests you should at least consider offering parking elsewhere FOC or at a reduced rate and advising your guests clearly and specifically about the issues you have with parking so that they can time their arrival better.
The staff where all pleasant and helpful and the hotel satisfied our requirements for the weekend we had planned.
Thank you

Room was good, little dated but expected for an older hotel. Staff were fine and helpful. Only complaint is breakfast, the small buffet area was crowded and only one coffee machine meant it felt chaotic.
Lovely comfortable room overlooking the sea. Everything we needed for an overnight theatre stay . Really well situated hotel opposite the beach 5 minutes to the BIC and Pavillion theatres and shops . Parking is a bit pricey on site nearly £15 per night but there is a car park a short walk away that charges £6.30 for 24hrs
This hotel is situated in the best place for everything you need. The staff are friendly and always there if needed. The breakfast was fabulous. We will be back.
Lovely place to stay. Helpful, friendly and chatty staff.

Nice hotel
Nice hotel with lovely service. Breakfast is excellent. I wouldn’t rate this hotel 4star maybe 3 star and needs a little updating in places but overall a good hotel.
Stay for one night lovely hotel lovely clean room close to BIC and the beach. Had a meal there but meat was very fatty but other than that the stay was positive. And definitely will be staying again.
