    An enjoyable four night stay
    The hotel is very comfortable, serves good food and is yards from the centre of Bournemouth town with its shops, leisure facilities and and very pretty parks. The hotel serves enjoyable food and has the additional attraction of being a short distance through pretty gardens to…

    Excellent afternoon tea!
    Had afternoon tea, courtesy of a Groupon voucher. Made to feel very welcome, sandwiches were excellent and fresh, cakes were also very good. Scones were wonderful, much better than some we have had for afternoon tea elsewhere. Oh, and also a glass of decent champagne ( not cheap…

    Really tired - not 4 star
    We stayed on Saturday night for an event that we were attending, and stayed in room 226 on the second floor. As we were running late for the event, I didn't really have time to complain or ask to get moved. The hotel: The hotel isn't just tired - its exhausted and it…

    Not 4 star!
    Lots of maintenance issues, cleanliness of the room was not up the scratch (stains, dirt and holes in furniture and bath panel was coming off). Not what we were expecting from a four star hotel. The hotel is also very dated- definitely not as advertised.

    Disappointing Return but still great
    We have been here many times and always enjoy our stay. This visit was very disappointing. The check in was not good. We always arrive early and understand that the rooms will not be ready until 3 pm, but normally do the paper work to save time for everyone arriving at 3 pm. …

    Why is the best room in the house the best room?
    When I asked the lady in reception was there a room above this one she said no.

    What are the mini double rooms like?
    I just looked at the website again to remind myself. If the rooms on their website are as stated then it clearly has had a major overhaul since I stayed there. Our room was tired and old.

    Booked in for two nights June 14-16, do I need to book car parking place
    You let them know that you're parking there once you've found a spot underground (hotel) and then hand over your registration to them when checking in. Then when it comes to check out you pay £15.00 per night. 👍🏼

    Hello, can you tell me if there is anywhere local to park as we can't really stretch to £14 a night, can you help at all please? Many Thanks.
    Hi the hotel is almost in the town centre so the price is about right for the hotel. There aren't any side roads you can park. The road is straight off the dual carriageway. Hope you have an enjoyable holiday. Regards

    "Rooms 129 & 130 are above the restaurant & music noise carries up."
