The breakfast was good and the entrance to the hotel is nice but everything else does need work done to it

I liked that the Property had big spacious rooms. Breakfast was great. It had clean towels and linen. They need to work on cleaning the bathroom tiles. The staff was friendly (most of them). There was no bar fridge which was a downside for me. I like having cold water and drinks. The TV was not working and they fixed it quickly. Overall it's a good hotel, I would book it again.

The hotel is ‘tired’ but good enough for the price. The restaurant closes at 7.30pm which seems about 3 hours too early. The bar closes at 10.30pm - also a little early. Comfortable bed but the rooms are very hot.
It’s closer to the beach. However the property smells of smoke. It has outdated furniture, carpet and its not clean. Rooms are not ventilated. We were there in summer at 24c and it felt like 40c in the room. I won’t recommend this hotel for family stay. It’s cheap for a reason and good for someone looking
for 1 night stay after full day at the beach.
The staff are honestly lovely, helpful, hardworking. It makes for a lovely stay really. I asked where to go things to do & a lovely member of staff pointed me in the right direction. Totally child friendly. Perfect for families. Pool is a godsend. So nice to cool off a good bar to relax as well.

Staff friendly
Room is tidy and clean
Location is good.
The building is quite old, but it has been well maintained and is clean. The room had some older furniture and fittings, which were perfectly functional and did not cause any issues. However, the room was not air-conditioned, and the small fan provided was not sufficient for comfortable ventilation during the night.
There was plenty of free on-street parking available nearby, which was very convenient. The breakfast was good, and overall, the stay was pleasant. That said, I felt the room rates were a little high considering the facilities provided.
Not a luxury hotel but for the price its pretty good.
The room layout is similar to a chain hotel room and it was clean and tidy.
The staff were great and always friendly.
I never ate here so cant comment on the food.
They have entertainment on at the weekends which you can hear in your rooms but its not excessive and finished at 10 pm each night.
I would happily stay here again if i found myself in the area.
My telly didn’t work properly, but reception were super helpful, had a man come and reset it, STILL didn’t work, so they swapped it out for a whole new one.
Also, the lights didn’t work.
Ultimately, lovely, helpful staff, nothing appeared too much, the bed was comfy, and had a restful nights kip. All you really want from a night in a hotel, really.

Good place to stay for Bournemouth. 10 minutes walk to the sea front and about 20 minutes walk to Bournemouth sea front and town centre. Room was very clean and the small inside pool was good enough for a few strokes. Would stay again on our next visit.
