We had a really nice stay. The only reason I haven’t rated as 5* was due to the fact that the beds and pillows (in our room at least) were really hard and not particularly comfortable. We didn’t sleep particularly well and woke with sore necks and backs. Other than that we had a nice 2night stay.

Was a lovely stay. I can imagine if it would have been a busier time then it probably would been noisy and a bit crowded due to space and walls being thin but as it wasn’t, it was a comfortable stay! Staff super helpful! Would return.

Our stay was very nice although very short, the pool was lovely, small and I don't think I woud have liked it if there had been more than the other couple there but luckily there wasn't anyone else. The breakfast was lovely and lots of choise. The only thing I was not happy about was having to pay for parking - my mistake when I asked for parking when I booked it, I assumed parking avalible meant it was free on site - it's not, it's £12.50 for and underground parking area at the back of the hotel which is quite creepy at night for 2 women to be getting there bags out of and trying to find the way into the back entrance of the hotel. Also don't open your boot - it will hit the concrete roof.

Decor in the reception area, bar and restaurant are very decadent which makes a very nice space and atmosphere, along with the outside seating areas reminded me of abroad holiday hotels. Breakfast was very good. Disappointments: - No warm welcome on arrival and check-in. Surprised that you had to book a time for breakfast & would have liked information on arrival eg. have to request the sauna to be switched on, as well as receiving the leaflet with the key. Very shocked to find extremely stained pillows with no protectors - There was no apology or conversation from the Hotel Manager when he delivered new pillows to our room - Only one of the new pillows was unstained. Leisure facility - No lockers to keep belongings forcing guests to take them into the pool area - No proper seating only a small bench provided, which was being used by guests to keep their belongings. No accessible drinking water (should be a must with a sauna), no clock & beach balls etc & jumping in should not be allowed. Overall stay was pleasant but not relaxing as we had hoped.

Lovely hotel with good facilities and in good area
Hotel is clean and well kept. Nice to have a pool and jacuzzi on site which were free to use. Only let down was room was so incredibly warm. Even with the air con on. Couldn't leave window open as was too noisy to sleep. Made for uncomfortable sleep. Also, while breakfast was nice the "full" English wasn't full. A quarter of a tomato, one slice of bacon and a small slice of black pudding was a bit disappointing. Well cooked though and nice dining area with good service. Quick and easy check in and great service, and very clean.

We think we have found our family regular place to visit! We have two young girls so booking the family suite we were not expecting an extra room as part of our main room, the girls loved their bunk bed room with tv! Our room was beautifully decorated and a lovely modern bathroom. They had decorated the hotel in and out like a winter wonderland. The furnishings, reception, bar was very smart! And the breakfast! You choose from a great menu, freshly heated croissants and the Dorset breakfast was Devine! The kids loved the swimming pool, warm jacuzzi and sauna. Had the place to ourselves as a family. I get the impression that there is a lot of love and attention that goes into running this hotel. Anything we asked for was no trouble. Parking is very easy you pay £12 a day but it’s so easy and lots of spaces. The beach is a 10 minute walk and the town with its gorgeous winter gardens is 10 minutes the other way. This hotel is so close to everything. We love Bournemouth and love this hotel - we have already booked for summer and can’t wait!

We stayed two nights Sat and Sunday, Saturday night was loud (must have had a party on) we could hear thumping from what was probably the music and the guests were shouting and slamming the doors regularly till about 01:00. In our room we could hear a either a extractor fan or a air con unit all night (not constantly but regularly) The Sunday morning breakfast was very busy but the staff were fantastic and the food was well cooked and tasty, unfortunately Mondays breakfast wasn’t the black pudding and the hash brown was rock hard and overcooked but the rest of the breakfast was good. My partner had the pancakes which said came with bacon but it didn’t and we didn’t see anyone till we had eaten our food. The property is close to the seafront and close to the town centre (on top of a steep hill) Woulds’t say it was a”signature” collection hotel as a few things were needed, most hotels we’ve visited have a pen and paper or tissues n the room this didn't. Found a fake fingernail in one of the draws, the walls and carpet in room had a few stains. The double glazing wasn’t the best could hear the banging of the bins from the kitchen in the evening. Didn’t get time to use the pool area so can’t comment on that. Probably wouldn’t stay here again if was in the area lots of other hotels in the area.

Friendly and efficient reception personnel. Tv in the room was not working and also bedside switch. Not the hotel’s fault but found a live huge spider near the door in the room. The elevator had the slowest door closing I have ever encountered. Free parking is good and very close to the bars and pier.

Good location, very good breakfast, most of staff very friendly and helpful, lovely decor and clean. Negatives: very small pool and could do with updating. A big negative for us was the room (111) very very hot and humid, had to prop door open to try and get some air flow. A real shame as everything else was lovely but the main function of a hotel is a bed to sleep and the heat made this impossible. It was only 20 degrees outside so not that hot weather wise. Had it not been for this issue, we would have given it 4 or 4.5 stars but it really did impact our stay.

Our stay was quite good - we started with a warm room but found a large fan in the wardrobe which helped. We then couldn't turn the heated towel rail off in the bathroom which made it unbearable as the temps were 26-28 outside. Someone came in and turned it off the next day and it was much more comfortable in the room. Our last night was a noisy one - one of the residents decided to congregate with his mates in the car park behind our room on their e-scooters, plus car stereos blaring at gone 11 (we had a little one sleeping) ... which took a while for the hotel to resolve, but we got there in the end. Otherwise, lovely room, great location and would go back.
