Spotless clean warm room
Best located hotel in Bournemouth
Service and room were great. Fantastic location especially if attending the BIC which is just across the road. Could do with reviewing snack options for late night nibbles as fairly limited. Would stay again.

The hotel is a bit tired looking but we couldn’t fault the cleanliness and the attitude of the staff. Will definitely return as the ideal location for the Pavilion theatre
Good hotel. Breakfast was frustrating, just one coffee machine available, so a long wait for hot drinks.

Room was good, little dated but expected for an older hotel. Staff were fine and helpful. Only complaint is breakfast, the small buffet area was crowded and only one coffee machine meant it felt chaotic.
Like most of our seaside resorts and hotels this hotel is showing its age. for a four star hotel the food was ok but if you are going to offer a minimal menu then at least do it well.
If you do not have ample parking for your guests you should at least consider offering parking elsewhere FOC or at a reduced rate and advising your guests clearly and specifically about the issues you have with parking so that they can time their arrival better.
The staff where all pleasant and helpful and the hotel satisfied our requirements for the weekend we had planned.
Thank you

My wife and I met here 43 years ago when she was the assistant housekeeper and I delivered the laundry. The room was nice but not as clean as they were back in the day or what would be expected for the current star rating
( cobwebs & sticky sweets** FLIES. ) and the gaps in the window frames made for a chilly sea breeze. Really dissappointed at the cost of over night parking, where should we park other than where we sleep. Afternoon tea was nice.
