10/10 Exceptional

Old Fashioned Hotel. Gardens. Right by the sea and close to the City Centre. Very good water pressure for shower. Had small double room which was fine as only there to sleep. A long walk to get to lift for my room. Charge £5 extra a day to use the pool. Exceptional service - best I've ever experienced. Stayed an extra night I was so comfortable there. Thank you.

8/10 Very good

We had a two day stay half board. The breakfast and dinner were very good value with a good choice of food. The room was very tidy and clean with a good view out of the window. Didn’t have time to use the spa facilities that looked amazing. Maybe next time.

6/10 Good

Adequate

The hotel was a bit tired. Service was adequate. The room was adequate, but very noisy and the bed was uncomfortable. The room decor was tired and a bit shabby and the facilities were not great - my room had no hairdryer. Overall, would not recommend for the price (which didn't include breakfast, either).

Awful room. Overpriced. Not clean. Nice staff but they don’t make up for the state of the hotel. Breakfast adequate but waited a while for items to be replenished. Would not stay again. Sad state of a beautiful building.
Carmel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful views, spacious gardens, historic site, good food, nice people serving and a fabulous location! Old bones, but it is the original Hotel in Bournemouth…since the 1800’s… and right next to the famous Pier!

Fab Hotel

Fantastic decor brilliantly located for the pavilion, beach and BIC. Would have rated 5 star but the bed was a bit too hard for our liking. Already looking to return
Nicola, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This is a grand hotel, very convenient for the beach but the overall feel was ruined by the food served in the dining room which was rank. I can think of no other way to describe it. I mentioned it to the dining staff who apologised but said nothing they could do.
Judith, 2-night trip

Horrible soulless, don’t waste your money here

Annoying scam type “hotel”. No reception or any humans at all. Cold uncomfortable decor, some kind of prison style bs shower where you have to hold down a button to make it work, annoying to get into and basically a sh**ty room with no facilities. So f***ing expensive. Total waste of time, wish we stayed at a local family run bnb. You just know the money from this place is being siphoned off to some real estate mogul sitting in a high rise in Dubai. Totally rubbish do not waste your money here.
