Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is centrally located in Bournemouth, making it convenient for exploring the town and enjoying the nearby attractions. While the room lacked storage and had an unusual setup, the friendly service compensated for it. Dining options were limited on-site, but the location was ideal for accessing restaurants and bars in the area.
The hotel rooms were clean but a bit noisy at times, and somewhat cramped with a double bed and bunk bed. Despite feeling like an oven, the rooms had a modern and aesthetically pleasing look. The service was overall good and hardworking, with a friendly staff, albeit one comment on the weak shower pressure. The location was very central and convenient, but being on a hill may not suit everyone. The dining options were nearby but not on-site. Overall, a decent stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel is conveniently located near the seafront and town center, although it can be noisy at times. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, but some issues with lighting and plugs may affect the overall experience. The service provided is top-notch with friendly and helpful staff. Dining options may require some extra effort, as breakfast is not on-site. However, the great location and welcoming atmosphere make it a good choice for those looking for a budget-friendly stay.
