Great location and very attentive and friendly staff. Only
Downside was that it was very noisy all night due to central location. Food excellent in the restaurant but again very noisy

This was an excellent two night stay. I would highly recommend this venue - everything was 1st class - nothing could be improved on. Thank you.

Everything was perfect - the room with a view, the food, the friendly staff, service at meal-times and at reception. I would love to return. Thank you

The hotel is overlooking the sea so is in a perfect location. Parking was easy just across the road at the BIC so we left the car there and just walked. It was all so easy. The hotel staff were really helpful and the room was big and spacious with a lovely comfy bed and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was superb as was our evening meal. Both were included in our travel zoo deal. I’d hearty recommend this hotel.

A great hotel. Perfect location for exploring Bournemouth. The meal in Crab restaurant was excellent. Breakfast was cooked to order and a good selection. Bottles of water and biscuits left in the room each day.

The food was very good - the front-of-house staff were excellent and very attentive. Shame about the rest of the hotel. It is far from the 4-star standard we are used to.
Other Comments
The Hotel was located inland from the sea it was old and our first bedroom was not accessible to us although the hotel was aware I had mobility problems. The alternative room offered was clean and largeF
with adequate furniture. This room had not been brought up to date for a four-star hotel and lacked
many things a current 4star room would have
We were so disappointed we checked out one day early

The rooms are a generous size with all the expected facilities. The heating seemed very efficient despite the high ceilings. The food in the restaurant really deserves its two rosettes. There were four in our party and we had an enjoyable few days there.

A shame about lack of hotel parking. It was made clear that one needed to park over the road in the BIC multi storey car park, so no surprise but still not ideal. However there was no mention made of an open air car park right next door to the hotel, which was cheaper too!

We were a little disappointed by the quality of the bedroom, which had slightly shabby furniture.
The biggest setback was that until the day prior to travel we did not realise it was predominately a seafood restaurant (my husband is not that keen). He also suffers from IBS and has to avoid wheat, but we were sure that a hotel with 2 * rosettes would be accommodating with his diet. Unfortunately, they were not! Chef was entirely inflexible, and it was a case of a very limited choice of food, and of course only ice cream for desert: we were hoping that a dish could be modified to suit. We were also surprised at the lack of choice on the menu. Who really wants a seafood starter, followed by fish?

I was told that all rooms could be double or twin. Not the case. My sister and I were offered a double bed with 2 single duvets. Eventually a room found where the bed could be turned into twin. We needed a double and a single duvet each to keep warm. Very small shower and nowhere to hang towels in the bathroom. No sea view.

Great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Our room was seaview as part of the travelzoo offer, so it was lovely to see the christmas lights on the pier at night from our room. The food in the restaurant was excellent, both breakfasts and our included three course evening meal. Was a birthday treat for my Mum and we both really enjoyed our stay.

They offer parking at £11 per 24 hours opposite at the BIC car park, however you can pull up at the front of the hotel for unloading and loading and then go over the road to park. All worked out fine.
In our room there was an amazing shower, however the shower head was too big for the size of the shower, nowhere to escape!! Also, being a winter stay it would have been nice to have hot chocolate in the room. But that's just being picky and only two comments we have to make!!

Booking was easy over the phone. On arrival we couldn’t get into the car park but there was parking at the BIC Theatre pay at the hotel £11 per night. Would have been useful if we were told this on booking. Directly across the road from the BIC Theatre.
Other Comments
Room 311, room was massive, tea, coffee water and biscuits (plus coffee machine) and bottled water. Daily room service. Well situated near the BIC theatre and very close to the sea.
We had breakfast and evening meal (set menu included). Restaurant, Food and service was superb.
Only criticism of the room was the noise from the theatre/traffic/pedestrian crossing.
But all in all £199 for a two night break with breakfast and evening meal was superb.

Spacious clean room, with a lovely sea view. The decor was slightly dated, but facilities sufficient for a comfortable stay.
Reception staff helpful with our booking and arranged a sea view room on the morning of our arrival after initially accepting an executive room to fit in with our dates, much appreciated.
The meal included on our first night was delicious and the breakfast also good.
We were fortunate with the weather during our stay and had a great break.
