My stay at this hotel was amazing! The rooms were first class, tastefully decorated, and had a nice powerful shower. The service felt like home from home, welcoming, and helpful at every turn. The location was equally fantastic, just steps away from the beach and city center. The dining experience was lovely, especially the sausages. Overall, a great value for money with excellent facilities.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were of a very high standard, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. The breakfast had an excellent choice, and the location was just a short walking distance from the Bournemouth International Centre. Scott and Alan provided exceptional customer care, making the experience even better.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and the en-suite bathroom was a plus, but there was a damp feeling due to the location in the eaves of the building. The service was helpful and quite friendly, however, they seemed to be trying hard against high repair costs. The location was excellent for exploring the town and beach, but it does attract a budget crowd. The dining experience was lovely, with a variety of delicious options. The facilities were decent overall.

The room we stayed in, although advertised as 'Superior Family En Suite,' was not the largest I've seen. There was a problem with damp near the window end behind the bed, but the owner was aware of it. We were offered an alternative room on the last night of our stay.

The breakfast, although cooked to order and of good quality, had limited options, especially if you prefer a larger cooked breakfast. The homemade jams were a nice touch, although the single servings of jams, marmalade, and butter were a bit inconvenient.

My stay at the hotel was truly wonderful. The rooms were spotlessly clean and provided a cozy atmosphere with a comfortable bed and nice amenities like a kettle for tea/coffee. The morning and evening hot showers were rejuvenating, and the fluffy towels added a touch of luxury. The only drawback was the limited staff availability for breakfast, which seemed insufficient despite their friendliness.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, albeit small, was kept clean daily, but some facilities like the hotel bar were neglected. The service, particularly by Adam, was warm and helpful, despite some language barriers. The location was ideal for both leisure and business travelers, being close to the beach and conference center. The dining experience, although tasty, lacked variety for those looking for a substantial meal. Overall, a small, cozy spot with great potential.
