Great hotel! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pros:

The staff were very welcoming, friendly and nice. I really enjoyed my stay here even if it was just for the evening. I needed a place to stay over night and this place was perfect. Budget friendly and worth the price. The bed was so comfy and the breakfast was delicious! I highly recommend this hotel! I'd definitely be coming back if I am in the area again. Thank you so much!

Hidden gem in Bournemouth- highly recommended
Pros:

Stayed in a triple room with girlfriends as we were going to a show at Bournemouth pavilion.
Room was spacious and we were pleased the third bed was an actual bed and not a sofa/camping bed.
Beds were really comfortable and the air-conditioning very effective.
Shower also good. Room very clean.
Plenty of choice for breakfast.
Friendly staff.
Hotel is in an ideal location.
An excellent hotel- we have paid far more in other hotels and received far less amenities and comfort.
Highly recommended.

Great location and overall great place to stay !
Pros:

Decor , bar area very comfortable and cosy
Breakfast was very good

Cons:

My only complaint or moan is that we booked the larger bed.. rather than the standard double.. on arrival bed looked huge.. Queen size but then realised the base was a double with 2x single mattress’s on it.. so not the most comfy .
Dining area a little tired.
Apart from that all else was great

A nice hotel, nice location, shame about the room and lack of sleep
Pros:

I’ve stayed before and enjoyed it hence why I came back, also a good location.

Cons:

I stayed in room 301 and had a humming noise until around 1:30am which kept me awake. Not sure if it was something to do with the air conditioning unit or something else.

Booked a room with evening meal & cooked breakfast. On arrival I was told that there was no food tonight, no partial refund. Breakfast was continental only. Hotel was clean and the staff were lovely.
