Great hotel!

It was just an overnight stay. Found Central Park last minute as I needed a rest. What a lovely hotel. Staff were brilliant. Friendly, helpful and efficient. Breakfast was included. Arrived at the restaurant at 7am so got a window table overlooking Bournemouth Beach. Lovely view as it was a sunny morning. Had the best night's sleep ever! I certainly recommend this hotel.

AJ is amazing

The place needs a bit of TLC but the Receptionist AJ is a super star and was so friendly and supportive. Breakfast was ok but nothing special, a bit cold and no fresh fruit choice. I will stay again purely due to good location

Much nicer than a lot of hotels we’ve stayed in!

We enjoyed our stay, which was just for one night (somewhere to crash after a concert). The parking arrangement at the multi-storey across the road was brilliant and reasonably priced. There’s a nice bar and restaurant on site and our room was clean and warm. Very comfy bed, too! I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was given that it’s on a busy road. We also found the staff very friendly and helpful.

This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel and we were very delighted with the stay in the most part. The room was huge and felt like a mini flat with a sitting area and coffee area in addition to the bedroom and bathroom. 2 TVs and mini fridge were a nice add on, and the toiletries were a nice touch. Bed was comfy and blackout blinds made sleeping very easy. Unfortunately, the shower left a little to be desired as the shower head was initially cracked open at the seam and the nozzles were clogged with limescale making it useless. Fortunately however, I put the head back together and cleaned the nozzles myself so the shower was usable. The free breakfast is a great addition and the quality of cooked breakfast was amazing. The option of continental is a bit pointless when this only consists of cereal, yoghurt, toast and juice. Why is there no pastries or fruit, etc.? Coffee didnt taste great either. Otherwise, great hotel and great stay in general, we will be back!
