Two nights away
Expensive, but friendly within walking distance of the beach and town, the aged building could do with a bit of loving, reception staff could not be more helpful, could do with a good lick of paint and not patched painted with different colour/shade of paint. Cleaners could do with putting more effort in, dust everywhere on light and plug switches and dead insects on window sills that do not look like they been dusted in months. Huge spiders web above bed. Staff stood outside front smoking is not a good sight. Breakfast £11 if bought in advance but extra £5 on the day. Had to ask for towels as no towels left after the room was serviced, the towels were like sandpaper and were not big enough to wrap around an average sized person. Would we use again? No Would we recommend? No

The property is dated but the bedroom was clean with a comfy bed and the air con was very much needed and welcomed. The property is an old building and if you require a wheel chair or walking aids I am not sure this would be a suitable accommodation. The pool was very small but pleasant.

Just what I expected, decent price point and location good. Parking a nightmare in the whole area. Car park was full and street parking rammed. The hotel is clean, decent breakfast. It’s a little tired but that’s ok.

Nice!
Great location! We stayed in the premier room. The bed was lovely and comfortable. There were no toiletries, despite saying on the website there is a selection. The breakfast was very nice! The pool was run down, over crowded and the water was not clear. They used lots of chlorine to balance this. Not pleased with the pool. But overall we had a great stay.

Reception staff were patient, helpful and calm considering how busy it was at times. Bar staff were helpful too. Air conditioning excellent in a large family room. Good power shower. Convenient for walking to Durley Chine beach. Lift available if needed. Wi-Fi available as well as normal TV. Not smart TV so no Netflix etc. Flaws: parking area at the back of the hotel way too small considering the size of the hotel. Street parking available nearby if you look carefully. Small area in front of hotel to temporarily park in while you offload/on load luggage. I didn’t notice any ramps for disabled guests. Swimming pool was very small. I had to reactivate my key card six times for my room which was really annoying. Overall the only thing stopping me from staying here again is the parking difficulty at peak summer times.

This property is in a wonderful location. Short walk to the beach and prerty close to Bournemouth pier. However, the rooms although dated could just been cleaned better. On arrival there was just lots of dust floating around the room. Not great if you have asthma. Behind the tv there was thick layers of dust that hadnt probably been cleaned in months. We found a pait of earing on the bedside table that was probbaly the previous occupants. House keeping should have removed this, im guessing they did a very rushed job. Its a shame it just needs a good deep clean.
