Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a convenient location, close to the seafront and within walking distance of Bournemouth town center. The rooms are spacious and perfect for our needs, although being on the ground floor faced parked cars. The service was friendly and approachable, especially during breakfast time. The dining experience was basic due to a sick chef. Overall, the hotel offers value for money considering its amenities and proximity to the beach.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms are very nice to stay in, overlooking the garden, but the front desk area was a bit stinky and terrible. The service was great, with really friendly staff who were polite and attentive. The location, in between Bournemouth and Boscombe pier, was comfortable and had lots of different seating areas, but a bit far from shops and pubs. The dining experience was reasonable but took a bit too long, and there was a long walk to get to shops for other options.
The hotel had a very shabby appearance with peeling paint on the walls and damaged furniture. However, it was extremely clean and comfortable to sleep in with staff who do their best to help out. The location was good, only about 200 yards from the seafront and easily accessible. The dining experience was lovely with a good selection of options and friendly staff. The pool area seemed like a building site with red warning tape around a filthy empty pool.
