    Mattress too soft for my personal needs.

    The room was light, bright & comfortable. Close to shops, restaurants, the beach & pier. Very obliging staff with requests. Male receptionist excellent.

    My only gripe, and it is a small gripe, is the room was quite dark, even with all the lights on. I think a stronger mainlight bulb would be beneficial.

    The room was well appointed and spacious. Excellent breakfast, with lots of choice. Cooked breakfast was lovely and served hot!

    No hand towels in the en-suite and the water temperature from the power shower was a bit variable but otherwise okay. Would perhaps sample breakfast next time but can't comment on food

    We like the location of the hotel and the Goat and Tricycle pub is just around the corner which is a great bonus. Our room was clean and comfortable. We didn't sample the breakfast as this was not included in the price and it had to be confirmed by 8pm the evening before so we opted to eat elsewhere. The location is good to walk into the town (we usually walk from the train station and stop to say hello to the Bournemouth goats en-route!) It's not too far from the sea front and that is a lovely walk. The hotel kindly allowed us to leave our luggage with them whilst we went shopping and colllected them at the end of the day.

    Being American, not used to the short time heat was on. But at our request, we had it a bit longer. THANK YOU! TOWELS could use replacement but ok.

    Location was great near restaurants and shops. Loved blue light on mirror inside toilet with just enough light to see at night 🌙. EXCELLENT!

    I think the room could have had a hand towel in it for the bathroom so that didn't have to use big towel. I think the breakfast could have had more selection.

    I liked the location as it was very close to the local town centre where the shops and bars are etc. I liked that the room was cosy and that it was a quiet room.

    Only negative was no food-heating facilities, but being able to bring food in made up for that.

    I liked that the facilities (toilet and shower) were contained in the room. The tea, coffee, and kettle were appreciated touches, even if I didn't avail them. Room was fairly spacious given the en suite facilities. WiFi worked a charm. Key system was easy to grasp. Staff were both informative and friendly. As I was visiting to see Judas Priest play, I appreciated the proximity to the venue. Room was cheap in price only—definitely great value. Would definitely consider again if visiting Bournemouth.

    I can’t really complain about anything apart from the floor being creaky but that can’t be helped also maybe could have done with a few more cushions.

    Was greeted by the receptionist who was super friendly with the biggest smile 😀 Our room was bright and spacious, the bed was comfortable and was just a short distance from the beach/town centre which was perfect .

    I thought the communal area could be a bit more cosy and welcoming. It would also be really useful to have a self catering kitchen, for the lower end scale of hotels, eating out is fun but can be very expensive when it's 3 meals a day.

    I thought the shower was excellent, and the bed was clean and well presented. The location was also very good, close to the town center.

    That I had to leave.

    The whole experience, from the initial friendly greeting (consistent with all the staff, throughout my stay) to the very comfortable bed and peaceful surroundings. The breakfast was more than adequate and beautifully cooked. Location of the hotel was ideal, for me, as I was attending the BIC and a drop down to the centre of Bournemouth. However, the walk back(uphill) could be a challenge for those less fit than I.

    Nothing at all.

    I had a spacious and comfortable room, with fast wifi. Every morning I received a stock of milk and sugar for my tea/coffee. The hotel is conveniently located near the beach. Making it easy for me to walk to the beach every morning to catch the sunrise and every evening to watch the sunset. Overall, my experience was amazing
