Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers a clean and spacious room with a lovely sea view, although it was quite hot and stuffy initially. The service was overall great despite a slight issue with room allocation. The location is amazing, right by the shoreline with beautiful views. Dining options were satisfactory but could be improved with more variety. The facilities were convenient and well-kept.
The hotel is conveniently located near popular attractions and offered a mix of positives like great views and friendly service alongside the downside of noise from the extractor fan waking me up early. The rooms were clean, serviced daily, and had a nice sea view, even though the double room was small. The service was efficient, with a friendly staff and a pleasant dining experience marred only by limited options. The location was very convenient, providing easy access to various points of interest, though the warning for uneven paving in the area stood out. Overall, a solid choice with some minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although smaller than expected, were surprisingly clean and comfortable. The dated feel could use some improvement, but overall, it was a good experience. The service was a credit to the staff with friendly and helpful interactions, enhancing the overall experience. The location was convenient, close to bus stops and the Bournemouth pier. The dining experience was enjoyable, but the Continental breakfast lacked variety for the price paid.
