The room we was given was not cleaned but when I told staff they immediately moved us to another room which was very clean and the staff were amazing. The hotel is clean, I would say the TV reception needs to be looked at but apart from that can't fault the service and quality. Good hotel with great staff team.

Not up to standards
I’ve stayed here a few times before and the room I received was not a great standard. Could not open windows for fresh air as room was stuffy, cobwebs on Windows, window frames in a terrible state, hardly had any Wi-Fi in my room. Had to use my own hotspot. Reported it to reception but they said they could not do anything. Breakfast was late being served and had to eat staggered as and when the hot dishes came out,£17 for average breakfast. I had to pay £10 for parking as I booked through bookings.com but was told if I booked direct it would be free, what’s the difference I still booked with you. I doubt it very much I will stay here again as I’m down in Bournmouth every month for business. I stay at different hotels/b&b every for work and I for the rate I paid is shocking.

This property is ideally situated as its walking distance to both Bournemouth beach and the city centre. The hotel is lovely and clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. We had booked 2 rooms for a family of 5. Both rooms were spacious and had a kettle, coffee machine, iron and hairdryer. There was a function on at the hotel but we were not disturbed much by the noise and the hotel had informed us beforehand. The only downside was the hotel breakfast. It was very overpriced and the selection is poor. I would advise eating out for breakfast. I would definitely stay agian.

A very nice hotel and the staff are excellent. I asked for a walk in shower and it was supplied. Nice bar and nicely furnished. Only had breakfast once good varied menu but would have liked some scrambled egg but that's a personal choice. Yes I would stay there again. not far to walk down the hill to Bournemouth centre and a good bus service if you want to ride back up.

We had a great three night stay , the hotel was clean and well kept. Room was well equip, the only negative thing was that the shower didn't work very well, which we did mention to reception. Apart from that we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

We had a fantastic stay here. It was only 10 minutes walk from the beach. Room was super clean and homely. Only downer, which had nothing to do with the hotel was that we could hear the racist protesters near the main roundabout

Staff mostly friendly Otherwise a 2 star hotel and yet we paid 4 star price. Lift not working. Mattress spring broken and sagging Recent blood stain and hair on one pillow No cooked breakfast first day and poor quality other days Paintwork and decoration poor. Owner obviously doesn't care apart from overcharging.

Don’t be fooled by the outdated 4AA* this property clearly hasn’t been inspected for a while and my photos have been shared with the AA hotel team. Cracks in the walls, stairs missing safety bars (against building regs), dirt up the walls. Expedia shows free parking - this isn’t the case at £10 per night (if there’s even space when you come back late!) went to check in at 3pm, room not ready. Receptionist walked out at 15:05 not providing us an update as to when room will be ready. Staff also advised “we’ll do something special for you” as this was part of a mini moon break - this didn’t materialise at all. Beds were also hard and mattresses should be replaced. The cleaners also complete a shoddy job, knocking over my wedding cards but no effort to pick up from the floor. 3 other guests also complained while we were there without any resolution.
