    Room was a little dated and the carpet had not been hoovered between guests as there was biscuit crumbs and other bits on the floor when we arrived. Apart from that it was a good break.

    Convenient location as only a 5-10 minute walk into the town centre. Pool and gym were good.

    We shouldn’t have been to polite and carried on eating our evening meal, then asked why my steak wasn’t eaten, very tough for a sirloin, went back next night , we again was polite my partner’s battered fish was soggy, but my sea bass was lovely.

    Clean,friendly staff ,good breakfast,couple of issues with evening meal,a little quiet for us but overall we had a good stay.

    Drinks at the bar are a tad expensive. £10 for 2 bottles of beer and £17 for 2 cocktails... other than that, it's great!

    I absolutely love the downstairs spa area, which is why we booked to go again. So relaxing with pool, sauna, jacuzzi, aromatherapy room, relaxation room, and £15pp for the spa for your stay if under 2 nights, but it is so worth it to unwind. And £5pp for a robe if you want to walk around and not worry about changing. Nice having a checkout at 11am too giving you more time in the mornings. The outdoor area is lovely to sit in the sun with food/drinks. The breakfast is also yummy - buffet style full English and continental, so make sure to add breakfast. 10 min walk from shops, restaurants and town centre, around 20 min walk to beach and amusements. Helpful and friendly staff, they even looked after our luggage whilst we ventured into town. Highly recommend for one or two nights - great facilities and nice modern decor downstairs. Rooms are clean and spacious. We went superior this time for the big bed and rainfall shower. Would go back a third time. It has our hearts.

    The family room we got (called "superior"!) was in fact a double room with two additional beds packed inside - they took all the free space and made the room uncomfortable. Bathroom in poor condition (e.g. door, toilet flush). No room service during 5 days of our stay!

    Great location, decent price, nice and friendly staff, tasty (English) breakfast, the access to swimming pool, well-equipped bar.

    OK hotel and facilities but definitely overpriced

    The breakfast was OK, definitely could be better. Although we parked next to the hotel there was lots of broken glass on the floor so not sure how safe it would be to leave your car over night. When we went swimming it was lucky that there was only one other family using the pool otherwise there wouldn’t have been much space as the pool isn’t huge and the room is so hot, we used it on a cloudy evening, I’d imagine it would be unbearable on a hot sunny day.

    Superior family room was spacious, we had a double bed, sofa bed for our teen and an extra single bed for our younger son. It also had aircon but we didn’t need to use it. The location was close to the town centre and Bournemouth beach. Swimming pool was clean, there were lessons going on when we used the pool but half of the pool was still available to swim in. Parking next to the hotel was free on the side road.

    Shower pressure was lacking, but not enough to really complain about.

    Very welcoming staff and great Spa, however ever I would like to make a suggestion;- paint clouds or stars on the ceiling to boost decor, also the view of the fire exit from the jacuzzi could be improved with a little thought. Steam room needs to be hotter.

    Unfortunately I will not be visiting Bournemouth again. It is now not safe, the amount of non British walking around everywhere and covering the beach, leaving rubbish everywhere, parents having to take their children off the beach because of this. Such a shame whats happened to Bournemouth.

    The hotel is fine. Slightly dated rooms.

    Our room did not have a bathroom door as part of the design which was unexpected. The room was also very hot and we had to use a fan all night - which is due to old building during hot summer weather. And I would say one biscoff as a snack offering for the instant nescafe coffee in the room is a bit cheap for the price.

    Nice old hotel with some great facilities and good breakfast. Cool leisure pool as well.

    The bedrooms are a little too small and need updating. It was a hot week, one fan provided, but could not sleep for 3 nights due to no air in the room when showering just made the room hotter

    The facilities are excellent, ambiance in dining area bar lovely. Excellent garden area, swimming pool and spa facilities.
