Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in the lovely West Cliff area, adjacent to the coast, making it ideal for a seaside stay. The rooms offer a good bed and a simple bar for a drink in the afternoon, but some minor issues like old leather falling off the base and hard pillows were noticeable. The service, especially the housekeeping, was efficient and catered to my needs promptly. The location is perfect for exploring Bournemouth, being within walking distance to the town center and the main shopping areas. The dining experience provides a good variety of dishes with the option for gluten-free choices, though additional hot dishes should be included at the current rates. Facilities are convenient with a cozy onsite breakfast lounge and a beautiful garden, perfect for summers. However, the value for money could be improved considering the minor room issues and the need for more dining options.
