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. The room I was upgraded to was spacious and boasted an amazing sea view, but it could definitely use some modernization to match the stunning location. Overall, great value for the location, though there were some areas for improvement.

I spent a lovely five nights during the festive period at this hotel. The breakfast was excellent with many choices, and the staff were truly helpful and kind, especially Alise at reception.

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 However, my room, though spacious, had issues with outdated furnishings and the shower setup.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. However, I must mention that some staff members were apologetic about the situation. The inconvenient maintenance work outside my room added to my discomfort, making it hard to relax. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel based on my experience.
