32 West Hill Rd, West Cliff, Bournemouth, BH2 5PH, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
The rooms were spacious and comfy, breakfast was lovely and the pool looked amazing, unfortunately we didn't have time to use it but we look forward to using it next time!
United KingdomGreat location with the sea front and pier a short walk in one direction and the pubs, eateries and nightlife a short walk in the other direction. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and given that we visited while in the midst of social distancing everything was very well organised. A special mention to the breakfast team who were brilliant.
United KingdomAll the staff were polite and nothing was to much trouble for them. Check in was easy and our room was clean with a large comfy bed. Breakfast was also good with lots to choose from. There is also a lovely swimming pool that you can use.
United KingdomCan’t fault anything! We enjoyed everything at this property, from the full English breakfast to the swimming pool access. The room was nice and cozy and had everything we needed: clean towels, a kettle with tea/coffee, tv... If coming back to Bournemouth, we know where to go 😊
United Kingdom- Spa and pool being open during this time was really good, perfect for relaxing - Breakfast was nice and varied - Staff 10/10 in all areas, so friendly and professional - Our suite was very comfortable - I liked how easy it was to communicate with the reception via whatsapp regarding housekeeping and any other issues - Location was perfect - minutes from the beach and city centre, close to many restaurants - It was nice to be able to have a drink and sit in the bar and other communal areas
United KingdomGood breakfast, plenty of choice. The tea and coffee were very weak and not good quality.
United KingdomThe corridors and room itself felt comfy and inviting. I was able to have hot baths. The staff were friendly and there was every attempt made to ensure I could contact someone at all times by messaging me an alert from their contact number by text when I arrived in my room. There was also options to check-in online to minimise contact with staff.
