My boyfriend and I stayed in a first floor room, with a sea view. The double room was spacious but outdated - apparently it's undergoing rennovation. The bed was comfortable, but clearly two single mattresses joined together which was occasionally less comfortable! The bathroom is a greatt size, but the shower is far too low - I'm only 5'4 but...

Good Points: We used a voucher for our stay here, so the price was very good. Bournemouth is a lovely seaside town and this hotel is pretty central, so that too was very good. The view from the window was excellent - we had a sea view. I found the staff friendly and helpful and I slept well - there... More

The double room had odd furniture, A purple glitzy bed cover, two blue glitzy chairs... More

I booked this hotel after searching the net for a bargain 2 room 1 night stay. Like one of the other reviews, I was not expecting the Ritz but my expectations were surpassed. The place is being refurbished and is looking pretty good. We were upgraded to sea view rooms which were large, bright and clean. Ok the floors creaked... More
