Poor breakfast

Service was floorless The building was looking old and tired, need a lot of love putting into it. Breakfast was made with cheap ingredients and not worth the money. We didn't enjoy it at all and only eat a few items. The coffee was undrinkable, orange juice watery. The food is obvious the food was cooked before and kept warm as was brought to the table in 5 minutes. So this on top of cheap ingredients and warm food makes this b/fast 1 out of 10

All in all a very nice stay it’s the hotel I always stay at when visiting bournmouth although the facilities and staff are good we didn’t think much of the cleanliness on the communal areas especially all the staircases also the cha hung facilities in the swimming pool and a floor down from the actual pool so it was a bit cold coming out the pool then having to go downstairs to get changed but all in all it was a nice stay.

Lovely stay for an overnight visit. Very close to the high street. Is a little dated but this time of year it fit the season perfectly giving it a cosy winter feel. Room was spacious, had everything you’d need for a few days stay. Nice and quiet too

Great hotel, just a few issues

Good hotel, room was nicely presented and clean. Pressure from the shower wasn’t great and floor was very slippy when getting out. The fan on the wall randomly started making a loud noise at 7.30am which woke us up! Very squeaky floorboards so can hear every movement from room above. Overall thou we had a pleasant stay and breakfast was good value.

Short break in bournemouth

Check in was slow and poor. We arrived at 1.00 pm knowing check in was 4.00 pm but completed paperwork and told to come back at 3.45 Arrived back at 3.55 and was told not sure if room was ready and to wait for 5 mins. Some 20 mins later we had not been approached so went back to the desk to be given the door card with no mention of anything. The rooms are dim tired and dated. They appear clean if you don’t look to hard but I am a facilities manager so I look hard. Bathroom floor must have not seen a mop or a wash for a while and room generally dusty. Hotels. Com had this rated as 4 star. I would suggest 3 star then expectations would be lower
