Beautiful Property, Charming Staff, Great Location, do I need to go on?

Beautiful property, I always chose to come here when I come to bournemouth, The staff are always very friendly and helpful. The room we were given was nicer than what we booked and it was stunning, Sea view balcony, king bed and floor to ceiling windows, overlooking the garden and the sea and the room was very spacious. It’s always a joy staying here and as a bonus, it’s a 5 minute walk away from everything you could need including the beach.

(The TV could do with looking at in room 60) No complaints otherwise.

Alzeihmers & stroke victim night away

Size of hotel was impressive and lounge near bar had very comfortable sofas

I booked 2 rooms and asked for them to be close together as 1 room was for my father who's had a stroke and is unable to talk but also gets confused easy, the other room was for myself and my mum who has alziehmers , I told hotel of the situation but they put us in 2 rooms that where quite far from Each other, corridors, steps and quite a few doors away. My father never found our room once, and continously got lost ,he was always inside hotel luckily . Just thought 2 rooms next to each other should have been so easy to allocate.

An experience we would like to repeat.

Undergoing gradual refurbishment this former Grand Hotel offered us very spacious accommodation in an updated room with a fabulous sea view. Bar and restaurant offered average food at a very good price. Undercover parking was available, which was important to us. Lovely location. Plenty of bedding, nice bathroom. Reception and restaurant staff very pleasant.

Lift was out of order, and we were offered help with luggage which did not come. Had to lug cases up to the second floor. No bath mat provided.

Overall very good and would stay again.

All as expected nice location and room.

We were there for 4 days and no new toilet paper or clean towels put in the room. Tea and coffee in the rooms could also have been added or at least been sufficient for the time we were there.

Superb hotel for my husband’s birthday celebration.

The hotel is beautiful, although a more classical hotel it still felt fresh and all the paintwork looks new. The health club is very relaxing, we sat and read the papers looking out over the sea. Our adult children joined us in the afternoon to use the pool, sauna and jacuzzi, very pleasant. We went for a lovely walk around the garden before enjoying a relaxing drink in the beautiful longe.

We enjoyed everything.

Excellent relaxing stay in amazing location.

I loved the spa facilities, the bed was comfortable, the room was a nice size, great lounge area where you could work in peace. Lovely big garden. Staff friendly and accommodating and welcoming, especially Belle on reception team.

Kettle was dirty, buffet breakfast very limited selection. Wifi in the rooms not being free and costing £7 was stupid.

Birthday holiday

Lovely location and hotel facilities. Food & drink prices were very good

The hotel is less pet friendly now and that could have a big impact on many people who have stayed there. Room was very hot with no air con & windows were very difficult to open

We enjoy staying here, have been many times.

Location, size and character of hotel.

The room was lovely but very hot. Windows only opened a fraction and no air con. We had to have the fan on even though it was a rainy, cool Bank Holiday. The room would be unbearably hot in the summer.

Convenient and comfortable stay.

It’s position - very central. Easy to get to facilities in central Bournemouth and the seafront. We also like the historic nature of the hotel. We had a sea view room as we were only there one night. It had been renovated and it was very comfortable and clean.

It was fine for the one night. So nothing that we didn’t like. We’ve stayed here before though - it would be a different review for the previous visit!

Voor onze vakantie doel super! Wel onverwachte parkeerkosten.

Ik was aangenaam verrast over hoe makkelijk het was om te boeken en dat pas daar moest betalen. Verder is het hotel op een toplocatie, het personeel behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Voor ons reisdoel was het dus super om in dit hotel te overnachten. Ook was het een leuke bonus, dat er sauna en zwembad faciliteiten (let op: voor extra betalen) waren.

Het was voor mij bij boeking niet helder dat men voor het parkeren extra moest betalen, dus kwamen er kosten bovenop, waarvan ik dacht dat die in het prijs waren inbegrepen. Dat vond ik tegenvallen. Als wij op de tweede dag geen kostenvrij parkeerplek in de stad hadden gehad, dan moesten we in totaal 75.- pound erbij betalen moeten voor drie dagen (meer als de helft van de boeking kosten). Dit soort informatie waardeer ik wel van tevoren te weten. Verder had ik het gevoel dat op bepaalde plekken in het hotel naar schimmel rook en onze kamer niet ideaal geventileerd was. Het hotel was op moment van ons verblijf in verbouwing en deze info had ik ook gemist, maar vond het verder alleen uniek om dit te beleven.

Lovely

We loved how close it was to the beach and city centre, as well as the location and look of the lovely hotel.

We were woken up due to people chasing a ‘robber’ on the scaffolding. Though it was a little strange we shook it off and enjoyed the rest of our stay.

Give it a miss

The location, its right next to the beach and it easy to get to town.

The car park is closed, so you can either use one next to the hotel (£20 for 24hrs) or one further away, that you need to walk back from. The Hotel needs a clean, carpets throughout are grubby and looks like they are only hoovered in the middle and definitely not on the stairs. The first room was so far away up in twisty windy stairs (618) and badly signposted. It was so strongly smelling of cigarette smoke and overpowering bleach smell in the bathroom we asked to move room, the staff changed the room but made no comment to us at all, not even a smile. Windows in the room didn't open properly so it was stuffy and hot, any noise carries from room to room and also from staff or other guests in the corridor. No iron in the room, and the wardrobe door was damaged. No one answers the phone, so you have to trek back to the front desk to speak to someone.

Shocking will not be returning

It was shocking. Had rats running around outside our window. Crack pipes on the roof along with sex toys.

Everything. The room was not what we booked no free WiFi. Had to pay 24 quid for parking and complete state out our window. No air conditioning

Relaxed and exciting.

The property is very antique which makes it unique. The creeks on the floor was somehow very satisfying as it represents the history of the building.

A nice place to stay, perfect for a short break

Great location, with views over the sea and not far from the centre, rooms are a good size

Room decor and hotel in general feels tired and would benefit from updating in parts, this said the rooms are a good size, the beds are comfy and the shower/bathrooms are always tidy. The pool we thought was part of the deal but found out at the hotel it was an extra payment which felt expensive for the size of the pool.

Very good

I liked the double room was very big.The bed was very big and extremely comfortable and the pillows too ,there were the best .It felt like home the balcony and the view ,it was fantastic . Viewed fireworks on Friday ,ahhh amazing. Breakfast was very tasty ,so many meals cooked so well. I loved it..I will come again next time.

The issue of not offering room service to clean the room and toilets.In room 59 the toilet was holding less water in the cistern therefore it wold take time to be able to flush the toilet.It needs to be repaired

Never again. I could have found a five star at half the price. Atmosphere like Butlins

Close to the beach

Needed a good clean, painting and decorating, aggressive staff, uncaring staff, filthy dining room, food trays rarely replenished at meal time, etc.
