Next to Bournemouth beach which is a big plus. The restaurant menu is very limited, and the breakfast is basic. The parking on-premise is great, and again the convenience because of the location is fantastic. Good value for money overall. Next time I would not do breakfast here, but instead spend that money to go out to one of the many options in town.

Great location!! Amazing view
Great stay, location fab! Very clean, everything we needed in room. A little noisy but we expected it due to location. We were amazed by the price due to location, it was quicker to pop back to the hotel for a wee than queue down the beach haha. Staff were also very friendly and welcoming :) would stay again :)

We have stayed at the hotel a few times and it has the lovely feel of a family run hotel although I assume it’s not. Staff are lovely and really helpful.

Stayed with our 9 week old baby and was given a room only accessible via stairs not ideal.
The room was spacious, but must had been next to a generator or aircon unit as we could constantly hear whirring and banging throughout the night.
Great location but wouldn’t stay here again.

The hotel is in an amazing location! Right on the beach and walkable distance to the centre. The rooms are spacious, modern and clean. The rest of the hotel is a little out dated but still a nice hotel. The one thing that really did let this place down is the staff. Everyone we met was very unwelcoming, we didn’t even get a hello when we checked in. I don’t think we saw one member of staff smile and it is a shame because this hotel has so much potential to be even better. I would stay here again because the location is great but I wouldn’t hold out any expectations to be greeted in a friendly way or made to feel welcome.

Truly worth a stay at this lovely hotel
We travelled from London to make the most of the sunshine. This was a return visit, as we have stayed before and love its location, 1min walk to pier and beach.
On arrival, greeted by a lovely young lady on reception. I cheekily asked if there was a sea view room available, as we booked a standard room, without hesitation she upgraded us to a lovely room with views over the pier and beach, large king size bed and a dressing and seating area.
During our stay the staff where lovely, friendly and helpful. Defo third return. Would highly recommend.
