Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a good location with easy access to the beach and the town. However, there were some issues with noise and a big event that affected our stay. The room was okay for one person, clean, and without disturbances from nearby areas. The dining could have been better with warmer food.
The hotel offers a mixed experience with spacious and clean rooms but lacking in service and some facilities. The location is great for beach lovers but may have dining limitations.
The hotel had lower standards than expected based on online photos, with a compact room that needed a deep clean. Despite friendly service, the delayed responses and additional charges for basic amenities were disappointing.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated, although the smell of smoke was present. The service was great over the weekend, but lacking warmth and welcome. The location is convenient for those willing to tackle steep roads but noisy due to events. The dining experiences vary from lovely to average. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel offered clean and newly decorated rooms, though the bathroom was small and not ideal for elderly guests. The service was a mix of friendly and rude encounters. The location was convenient for accessing the beach and shops. The dining options were limited and pricey. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory, but there were some overcrowding issues.
The hotel had a great location, being just a short walk from Bournemouth Beach and Alum Chine. The rooms, although clean and comfortable, felt small and tired-looking. The service was friendly and helpful, and the staff were an asset to the team. The dining experience offered a good choice but lacked a vegan option. On the downside, the hotel was noisy at night due to events, and the lift was frequently out of service.
