Room was lovely and clean, recently refurbished I believe. Bathroom was excellent

I generally don’t have the need to review hotels, but on this occasion, I did an exemption. Not sure, how this is a 4 star hotel. Very basic for £170 a night room. 2nd floor closed for refurbishment and very noisy until late. The highlight of the visit was the young lad at the reception Connor.

Was given a quirky room at first (tv on a bracket on the wall which didn’t swivel so couldn’t watch from the bed and the only chair was below the tv, no place to put kettle unless on a very small table next to the bed (kettle tray bigger than table) and no sockets anywhere other than by the bed so my wife wouldn’t be able to dry hair anywhere near a mirror). On mentioning some of this to the staff, they understood and moved us to a different room. This room was huge compared to last one, and we had a great night’s stay. Breakfast was a buffet and tasty. Every member of staff we spoke to or saw was helpful and nice. Great location but parking was unavailable unless you were there early, or guaranteed if you booked direct with the hotel. Other deals available also, but only if you booked direct with the hotel. If going to Bournemouth, this is a great location as right at the bottom of the town by the beach, gardens, BIC and Pavilion.

Great location and huge room. But, no room in car park. Had to pay to park in multi storey 5 minutes walk away. Also, central heating system made a loud noise - air in system? - which did not allow for a restful, quiet night's sleep.

A friendly helpful staff, happy to help.

Refurbished rooms very good, other rooms looking tired. Majority of staff very good. Hotel ideally placed for beach and town centre. Would stay again.

One of the worst hotel experience ever! I recently stayed at this property with my kids and with no doubt was a horrible experience through out. To begin with, the room was not clean by any standards - the bedsheet was evidently reused without wash as it had sand all over the bed. The tap water was pale yellow. And the staff was the worst part of the experience - as they seemed busy pushing charges instead of meeting basics of customer service standards. Finally, the parking measures are worst to a different standard - as they just sent me a parking fine for parking my car while I was trying to check in. I highly recommend families to avoid staying in this hotel!

It was okay, to be fair, it doesn’t truly feel like a 4-star hotel. There were spiderwebs on the ceiling, and the toilet sink was broken. The receptionist lady was lovely. It’s a shame because the location is amazing. However, it doesn’t have a pool on-site. You have to go to another hotel, which is a 20-minute walk away, to use their pool. That’s not very convenient.
