Julie, United Kingdom

A very nice and welcoming hotel, evert aspect of the hotel from the front office to the room, restaurant 👌🏾

Olumuyiwa, United Kingdom

Hotel is in an excellent location, just a short walk from the seafront and the pier. Very friendly reception staff and our room was nice & large and the bed was very comfortable. The spa area was good with a large pool, steam room, sauna and Jacuzzi, although quite busy when we were there, so it felt a little crowded. Breakfast was very good. lots of choice and the cooked food was served buffet style.

Lindsayb, United Kingdom

The room was exrenemrly hot even with the air conditioning on. It was noisy outside the window which faced onto what looked like a fire escape

Kim, United Kingdom

The staff were friendly and obliging. Breakfast was substantial and appetising. The brasserie was good value for money, food tasty. Facilities (pool and gym) excellent. Lounges comfortable.

David, United Kingdom

We chose this hotel because it had a pool, which was never too busy and allowed us to 'do our lengths'. Good breakfast.

Raymond, United Kingdom

Handy for Town Centre and a short walk to the pier. Staff friendly and attentive. Breakfast was excellent. Dine at the hotel restaurant Blake's if you want to spoil yourself.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“My double bed room was clean and cosy, the breakfast was very good and the staff at the front desk are very friendly and helpful. The pool and spa area are also a great added feature.”

David

Australia

“The rooms are clean and the staff was very good. Close to the beach and the lovely town of Bournemouth. We had a blast there. The sand on the beach is superb and the people are kind.”

Richard from Seattle

United States of America

“The breakfast content was excellent, though bacon,eggs, etc should have been a great deal hotter. The under heat burners are insufficient for purpose. Items on top were cold,even lower down near the base were not acceptable.”

눉I booked this as a not particularly cheap special offer, selecting it above other hotels as the bedrooms looked realky plush and spacious, for my husbands Birthday surprise. Our room 6 was like a box room, tired paintwork and furnishings. Small double bed where the matress was even smaller than its divan base. One of the bath towels was even soiled! Breakfast was even charged at an extra £12.95 per person despite the expensive room rate so we ate out. Very disappointed at what should have been a special stay.
