What appears to be an old luxury hotel that is long past its glory days. The rooms are outdated with marks on the walls, tiny table top PC screens for TV, age stained, smelly bathrooms, and rickety creaking beds. The pool, which is the highlight of the hotel, charges extra for entry - not much, but considering that’s the reason we booked the place - it was kind of annoying. Lastly, the staff was mostly useless - I booked two rooms, one for me and my wife and one for my kids, next to each other. We went into the room to discover it was not vacuumed, with paper bits and crud on the floor and some odd stain with black curly hairs in the shower. When I went down to complain, they offered to move us to another room - at the other side of the hotel far away from our kids’ room. I explained that was not possible, and that I just want them to send someone to clean it - to which they replied they have no one available to clean rooms (this was at 7PM btw). Finally they had to call a manager, as cleaning seems to be below the capacity of rank and file employees - and the poor guy had to go and clean the room. Long story short - this is listed as a 4 star hotel when in reality it’s maybe a 2.5-3. I would not book it again.

AVOID… If you are booking this for a celebration, then please don’t, it’ll ruin your day because the photos are NOT an accurate representation of the rooms that are incredibly rundown, dirty, and dark. Please save yourself and find somewhere better, I made the mistake and it ended in tears.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I recently stayed at this hotel and unfortunately my experience was disappointing. Parking costs £25 per day, which I found very expensive for guests staying at the hotel. The swimming pool also requires an extra charge of £5 per adult and £3 per child, which should really be included in the stay. In addition, children are only allowed to use the pool until 6 pm, which is quite restrictive for families. The biggest disappointment was the breakfast. The quality of the food was very poor and there was very little variety. Overall, I do not feel the hotel offers good value for money and I would not stay here again.

We loved our stay here and we are planning to come back, we loved using the spa facilities but have to say, during our stay on 26/27 May, the guy closing the pool wasn’t really attentive as the guys that were in the morning, he was in a rush to close the pool and didn’t stop kids from jumping in the pool with elderly and people with back problems around, it didn’t feel relaxing but a mayhem, we do understand it was school holiday and bank holiday, but the guys in the morning were giving warnings as the swimming states not to jump in, but he didn’t care at all. Felt a bit unfair to who wanted to relax there

The building was lovely, but we were on the lower ground and there was a wall obstructing our view out of the window. The room was very basic with no colour or decoration and seemed like it was put together at the last minute. We felt because we had booked via a deal we were given the very basic. Won't return

We visited over the May Heatwave, the Hotel is very central to the town centre and beach. We had booked a small double room, but due to the weather conditions they kindly upgraded us & said we would be more comfortable in a more airer room, which was very kind of them. Breakfast was nice, it got quite busy round the breakfast bar, so could have been a little bigger. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again if I go back to Bournemouth.

Property is in very old and damaged condition, you can hear the floor squeaks from everywhere, bar menu very poor, dinner even poorer, breakfast very dried and not fresh. My room wasn’t cleaned at all the, not even the bin emptied or fresh towels. Cleanliness wasn’t good. Everything inside and outside is old and rusty, besides the location this hotel has nothing good. Staff in the leisure centre bit rude
