Jederzeit wieder
Pros:

Wir verbrachten eine Nacht hier. Die Lage ist toll entlang der Uferpromenade. Es gibt einen Spa-Bereich den wir aber nicht nutzten. Die Aussicht unseres Zimmers war auf den Hinterhof, was uns aber als Durchreisende nicht interessierte.
Das Hotel war sehr belebt, wahrscheinlich auch wegen des "Bank Holiday bzw. May-Day" Wochenendes. Personal war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Frühstück gibt´s in Buffetform, alles sehr lecker und reichlich. Parkplatz war zwar sehr voll, haben aber noch einen Platz gefunden.

Excellent break with great food in the restaurant and the bar. Good accommodation and facilities.
Pros:

Swimming, breakfast and dog friendly. All made our stay worry free as the room was a good size and close to the lift which helped my husband who has limited mobility as well as easy for taking the dogs out . Thank you.

Cons:

Possibly an earlier start for swimming as it was rather rushed to get a swim before breakfast but we did manage to fit it in!

Pros:

I love the location, being right by the sea and within walking distance of everything is brilliant.
The hotel was lovely, and the staff were wonderful.
The food was beautiful,
We would stay again

Cons:

Had a bad experience with the bed.
It was two single beds put together but hadn't been zipped up, myself and my partner both fell through the middle of the bed on our first night.
I reported this to the reception as I had landed on my elbow. I thought it was dangerous.
The staff were very courteous and offered to change our room the following day.
One of your receptionists mentioned the zip on the bed and why had it not been zipped up?.
We also had to single sheets on the beds and two single duvets, every time you moved in the bed the sheets came off which then meant we were sleeping on bear mattress.
This was the only issue we had, we didn't change room as it was convenient for us and once the bed had been zipped together it was okay.
We would however, stay there again.

Pros:

Breakfast was very good.location very nice

Cons:

Maybe a mini bus say one every hour would help to Bournemouth centre and Back to hotel as buses not reliable would be very helpful to some people.

Pros:

It’s very important to bring a good mood on holiday rather than focus on hotel renovations or some kind of standard. This is a 3-star hotel that truly deserves its name: the view is stunning, the food is amazing, and the staff do their jobs flawlessly. There should be fewer complaints during a holiday—come with a positive attitude and you’ll see wonderful things all around. Thank you, it was a fantastic weekend.

Cons:

Harry room amazing!
