The hotel's prime location, just a stone's throw from the beach and close to Bournemouth's center, is a definite plus, and the BIC car park nearby offers convenient parking.

lovely sea view

large window ample surface friendly staff
i enjoyed the large window facing the sea front. the bathroom was tidy and offered ample surface space. the staff were friendly (i even got a friendly wave every morning!). i really appreciated the warm welcome.
i found that there was no hot water throughout the whole hotel. the receptionist was aware of the issue and did not tell me upon arrival. i think this needs to be addressed immediately.
