I had a fantastic time at this hotel, which is perfectly situated just a stone's throw from the pier and beach. The staff were incredibly attentive and helpful, enhancing my overall experience.

Overall, great value for the location, though there were some areas for improvement.

I had a delightful experience at this hotel, especially due to the attentive service and the excellent food at the Crab restaurant. The proximity to the Bournemouth International Centre was a major plus since we were there for a concert. However, my room, though spacious, had issues with outdated furnishings and the shower setup. Overall, I'd definitely consider returning because of the value for money particularly with breakfast included.

I had a really disappointing experience during my stay. There were significant issues with the hot water, which affected my ability to properly enjoy my time there.
