Very inviting when you walk in the hotel, tasteful decor in lobby but room required maintenance, as worn out, wobbly tiles, missing grout, broken bath plug in the bathroom, flashing corridor light and bed was very uncomfortable, could feel the springs. On the plus side, the staff were lovely and the dinner in the restaurant was superb.

Good Hotel.

Only stayed 1 night so hard to make real observations. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast buffet style including the hot breakfast. Only disappointing point was they do not do cocktails in the bar. But would say for a small hotel in a town that has alot of accommodations it is good & would go back.

My husband purchased an afternoon tea , so we also booked a room for the night . So pleased we did , my daughter and myself had a lovely memorable time away . The gentleman who served us tea went out of his way to ensure we had everything and was very professional, friendly and efficient. He also served us breakfast remembering our names and room number . Would highly recommend to family and friends

Not great and would not stay again. Needs some TLC

Okay, but very tired. The double bed had a depression in it that I had back pains in the morning and the single bed is only for very small children and not young teenagers. People were smoking in other rooms so it smelt in the corridors , the lift did not work and neither Did the air con. There was a portable fan in the room but it was dusty and the room had a musky smell. Our window was blocked by a flat roof with no view and little opening for fresh air, which is disappointing since I booked this hotel 12 months ago and we felt like we had been shoehorned in last minute. It looks like some money has been spent superficially , the bathroom was nice but the finer details are poor for example a badly damaged painted bath panel straight from the 70’s school of decoration. We paid extra for the cooked breakfast which entailed one sausage one very small ration of bacon, a table spoon of beans and mushrooms and one egg scrambled and dry. The continelnal was not topped up so the earlier guests had eat all the pastries, cereal and bread and what was left was simply our choice. I didn’t ask for it to be topped up simply as I shouldn’t have too . So it was an okay stay, nothing special but as we stay in bournouth every year I don’t think I would stay here again.

Reception area way fancier than the rooms

Lovely reception and breakfast. Lift was out of order and we were not notified before, not offered any help. Triple room felt a bit essential considering the price. They charge £10 for parking overnight inside the property.

I've stayed here a few times now. Bear in mind that they have now started charging for parking at an additional £10 per night which is a shame and I didn't see it mentioned in the hotel description. Lovely hotel and the staff were super nice when my car broke down, the receptionist even made me a free coffee while I was waiting for the RAC. I'd definitely stay there again but factor the parking into the price.
