The hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms did the job but felt freezing, clean yet tatty, like a cramped, shabby dump on the top floor. The service was a hit or miss; accommodating at times but super rude or unhelpful with just grunts. The location was a standout, close to all amenities in Bournemouth, although parking and fire safety could be better monitored. Dining was a letdown with an unapproachable staff member and disappointing food. Facilities had some issues but were basic yet substantial.

The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of Bournemouth centre, making it easy to explore the area without needing to use a car. The staff were helpful and friendly, but the experience with the rooms left my family in disappointment due to various issues like uncomfortable pillows and lack of proper towels. Although the price was budget-friendly, the room quality did not match our expectations as a 'triple room with en suite'.

My stay at the hotel wasn't impressive overall, luckily it was only for 2 nights. The rooms are nothing like the pictures on the website, dirty with very basic and greasy breakfast. We were promised another room but cleanliness could have been better. The room had splashes up the walls and stains along the sides of the bed, blinds instead of curtains, and only one bath towel without a face towel.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfy with tea/coffee facilities, but some maintenance issues like a flooding shower and an insecure door lock were noticeable. The service varied from rude encounters to accommodating staff who fixed a duvet mix-up. The location was convenient for both leisure and work activities. Dining had some shortcomings, but the variety was decent for the price. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.

The hotel is situated at the top of the hotel, which can be a challenge for elderly guests. The rooms are very old, not very comfortable, and show signs of damage. The service was excellent with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The location, while close to the beach, had some maintenance issues and needed attention in certain areas. The dining options were varied, with some aspects needing improvement. The facilities provide a decent experience overall.

The hotel had noisy guests disturbing me late at night, but the night porter was quick to resolve the issue. The large bathroom was a plus, but the empty echoing rooms with paper-thin walls made us leave after just 15 minutes as it was too basic for our liking.

The hotel was clean, although a bit tatty and felt like a prison cell. The room had waste water in the shower tray that wouldn't run away, and it was not as pictured online with camp beds and squeaky mattresses. On the positive side, the service was described as 'really bad,' but the staff at reception were great and very helpful. The location was basic but nice, close to amenities but at the top of a steep hill, which was tough for children. The dining experience was disappointing with overcooked food and dreadful instant coffee, and the breakfast was very cheap. Despite these downsides, the hotel was convenient for walking to central Bournemouth.

The hotel is ideally situated in central Bournemouth, so close to the BIC and Town Centre. The rooms were quieter than expected for a town centre location, but could benefit from fumigation to get rid of bugs. The staff, particularly Anna, are extremely friendly and helpful. The location scored high marks despite needing redecoration in certain areas. Dining options were a bit limited, and the breakfast experience had some hiccups. The facilities were average, and the overall value was reasonable considering the drawbacks.
