Poor and not at all what was expected.

The hotel itself like the common areas, reception, garden and bar were lovely and really well looked after. Modern and luxurious and very clean. Unfortunately the room was a different story. We booked a small double room and when we checked in we were told that we had booked a room without a window but because they had one with a window they would give us that. I did not book a room without a window as I saw this as an option but was not willing to be without a window. When we got upstairs to the west wing the whole feel of the hotel changed, it felt dated and dirty and it smelt. Upon entering our room we almost walked straight into the wardrobe as it was right in front of the door. I know that we had booked a small double room but it was absolutely tiny, it barely felt big enough for one person let alone two. The windows barely opened because there was a roof the other side, rubbish was lodged out the windows and the room is general was grubby and in need for decoration and a deep clean. There was a hole in the sheets and the sugar pot was dirty along with the bathroom floor. It wasn’t even a full size bath and the soap dispenser was broken. I know that we had booked a smaller cheaper room but I feel pictures online and the hotel itself were misleading of the room. We had a horrible sleep due to a small hard bed and slamming of doors at all hours. Unless you are booking a suite then I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

A very charming property, keeping an old Victorian style traditional feel. The bedroom was beautiful with a lovely feel. The spa facilities are good, just a shame they don’t offer treatments etc. The food is good, basic traditional British food, buffet style. The only 2 things on the downside were the very creaky flooring throughout the property- I imagine it would cost an enormous amount to renovate due to the age of the building. Also, being so close to the beach, parking is at a premium- and very expensive! The staff advised us on some alternatives i.e cheaper public parking locally, which did work albeit a bit inconvenient. With a little upgrading here and there, this hotel will continue to deliver lovely holidays to local and foreign tourists alike. The staff were very nice, helpful and accommodating. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel, for anyone looking for traditional and relaxing British beach holiday experiences i.e in-house entertainment, close to beach and pier amusements, plus a some more culturally diverse culinary and entertainment choices in the surrounding streets and the town centre.

Wouldn’t recommend. staff are rude, not very clean

Personally would t stay again, just found all staff rude, hotels very dated and not overly clean, paid £300 for a weekend for a box room, expensive for what you get. When checking is I was told by a staff member I’d booked a box room with no window, which I didn’t I know I didn’t as I have the proof of what I booked so she said I could have the room with no window now or wait for my room to be ready with a window which was 45 mins later, I then heard her tell another couple the exact same thing twice .. so they’re obviously trying to give people the absolute basic rooms which seems very wrong as people are paying a minimum of £250-300+ for a weekend! Only good thing about the hotel is how close it is to the beach and nice and big the garden is, think that’s the only reason most people stay there in my opinion. Bar also doesn’t take cash which i do get, but it’s not stated anywhere in the descriptions or anywhere in the hotel so I had to go into town to put money in the bank, as it was my birthday money. Definitely wouldn’t stay here again, not worth the money whatsoever. Staff were just rude and when you speak to them it’s like it’s an inconvenience .. even though it’s there job. I’d stay somewhere else next time; even if it takes longer to walk to the beach or town etc. location isn’t everything at the end of the day, I’d rather pay to stay somewhere else.

Lovely spacious room in a beautiful, historical building next to the beach, near a beautiful park, town life and restaurants. Live entertainment at night in the bar / lounge during our visit. Great dining area. We chose this hotel because of its location and also because it had a pool and we had a very pleasant stay. Two areas where it could improve: Provide real coffee in the morning, rather than from a machine. Mop up excess water on the floor in the changing room more frequently. However, overall it was very enjoyable stay.

Great Location

It was our first ever trip to Bournemouth and we thoroughly enjoyed the sea side and apart from the lift breaking down and people being stuck in it, the hotel is pleasant albeit Victorian as it was the first hotel built there. The hotel allows pets, i am not a fan of that but each to their own
