This hotel was absolutely amazing. The spa was wonderful, the staff were professional and friendly. The food was excellent as were the cocktails. The waiting staff were attentive but not overbearing. The building has been renovated to an extremely high standard but it is still full of character and class. Wonderful. Thank you.

Without doubt best hotel in Bournemouth. Stylish, clean, great amenities though what’s with the cold pools? Price was reasonable for a Saturday night in a beautiful hotel room. Only down side was we were allocated ina separate building in the car park. It wasn’t too noisy but didn’t fancy the trek to the pool area. And there was a strange buzzing noise on and off early in the morning, water heater? . However would still recommend

Amazing places to stay

Clean room, with coffee and tea facilities in the room! Spa was clean, modern and great outdoor pool! Would definitely book again! Nice view of the seaside and close to the centre of Bournemouth. Only downside was the parking, as limited spaces best to get there early to get a spot.

I love the heated outdoor pool, all the facilities, decors around the hotel and our room. I don’t like the lift it needs redecorating or it’s better to change it.

This is a really stylish hotel with beautiful outdoor pool area, good gym, cinema if the weather forces you indoors and friendly staff. At times form appeared to triumph over function (the gap between the tap and sink is so small you can barely fill up a glass let alone kettle) but the rooms feel light and beds spacious.
