Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the spacious rooms, many featuring sea views and large balconies, with some even offering terraces. The hotel's location is ideal, placing guests opposite the beach and within a short, pleasant walk of about 15 minutes to Bournemouth Pier. An outdoor pool and a breakfast buffet are available; however, a few guests have found the breakfast selection somewhat limited. The hotel also provides convenient access to the promenade and various restaurants.

easy check-infriendly staffamazing poolspacious terrace
Check-in was easy, and the staff were very friendly. The outdoor pool is amazing. I ate lunch on the terrace. Room 111 gave me a sea view and a spacious terrace. I found the location perfect, across from the beach and walkway.
Perhaps the chlorine levels were off. It was the only very slight issue.
