I absolutely loved staying at this hotel! The location is just perfect – close to the beach and within walking distance of the town's Triangle area by the library. The rooms were super cozy and had a lovely view, plus the bathroom was spacious with a relaxing bath. The service was outstanding, and the housekeeping made the room feel like a haven every day. However, I wished the dining options were more diverse, and the price could be a bit steep for some travelers.

This hotel is a gem in the heart of Bournemouth with a mix of advantages and a few drawbacks. The rooms are spacious and offer a fantastic view, but some extra attention to cleanliness is needed. The service is attentive, although housekeeping could be improved. The location is terrific, close to all the local attractions but slightly noisy at night. The dining options are varied, but dining with a view comes with an additional cost. Overall, it's a comfortable stay, but minor tweaks could make it exceptional.
