The hotel was good value for money, we ate breakfast each morning, this was of a good standard. Twice we had an evening meal, the menu was limited, but food was good. The staff were most helpful, indoor swimming pool good, the hotel seemed to be well maintained & would definitely stay on another occasion.

Excellent hotel welcoming staff and excellent restaurant facilities. The indoor pool is perfect to relax in and there is a reasonable bus service to the town centre. Decent pubs nearby and a lovely walk along the beach to the pier is recommended

Lovely Hotel in an amazing location! Rooms are a little dated but spotlessly clean. Was given a free upgrade to Seaview room with balcony! (see photo) Breakfast service was a little hit and miss. It felt a little rushed and wasn't given a menu or much choice of cooked options although plenty of choice for fruit, yoghurt etc. Pool and Jacuzzi an addled bonus! Not massive but again, well looked after. Would stay again

Probably the best customer service ever! I booked this hotel for 3 nights for my parents birthday. It turns out that my parents were not able to make it. I used booking.com to make all the arrangements. I realised that the booking for this hotel was non-refundable and I would have to pay a lot of money for cancellation as part of their non-refund cancellation policy. I did request for a waiver cancellation so that they can possibly reduce the price of the cancellation.
I then phoned the hotel. They were very friendly and kind to help me discard the cancellation policy and send me a refund on top. Overall this hotel has probably the best customer service. I would like to also say that the hotel receptionists David and Alex have taken care of this whole situation predominantly well. Cheers to you's two!

Visited here with a coach holiday company. Location- if walking into Bournemouth it's about a good 20 minute walk from the hotel along the sea front. Walked in. There is a local bus and taxi service available. Used taxi to return- 8.20 for the 2 of us. Room was clean and presentable. Only negative was - 12 seated at my table, couldn't move arms to eat and drink at meal times! Excellent breakfast, service and swimming pool facilities. Spa and gym also on site but didn't use. Room checked and restocked every day. Would visit again and recommend. It's just a shame it's so far from the town centre.
