A perfect spot to stay to access everything in Bournemouth.
Pros:

Excellent central location. Comfortable bed.

Cons:

Room a little tired decor-wise but comfortable. Only 1 pillow in room per person. Would suggest the default should be two?

Not bad but not the best
Pros:

Loved the history of the hotel and size

Cons:

Hotel is dated, floors creak badly, breakfast was horrific, 189 pound for a night in a suit that lacks anything modern, a simple power point at the bedside is normal surely. It had a 1980's Blackpool feel to it. The suite we had was two rooms with separating door opened. Tiny standard double bed! The swimming pool had dirty floors, dirty changing rooms, they charged 22 pound for trunks, 25 pound for a swimsuit and extra for the use of the dirty pool.
