We enjoyed the stay, staff were friendly and helpful. The car park was very expensive for guests. The check in time is really late 4pm and check out at 11am is too early. The hotel is expensive when you do not get 24 hour stay.

A good stay with some details that need updating.
An old traditional Victorian hotel, with period features and a warm welcome as you enter the hotel. Creeky floorboards on corridors and what appears to be decor that’s trying to look authentic to the period, however comes across as out of date. The room was spacious and well equipped with things like, iron and ironing board, hairdryer and coat hangers. Tea and coffee facilities in the room as well. Bathroom has a bath and a very good hot shower, despite its dated look. Some unnecessary items in the room, for example a very old looking trouser press and a washing line in the bathroom. Some recommendations for the room would be to upgrade the furniture, as was old and extremely worn also the thick heavy curtains didn’t match the decor in the room, which I’m guessing was meant to be a Victorian style. Also the room needed a very thorough dusting from floor to ceiling. Bed was very big and comfortable. On the whole a good comfortable stay with a few details that need addressing.

We booked an "executive" room and I dread to think what a standard room was like.. Very tired and very beige. No nice touches which you usually get in a higher grade room. No complimentary toiletries, no complimentary bottled water and the bathroom was not great as repairs had been made in some areas but not carefully. Would not rebook. Agreat shame as the exterior is elegant.

The property is very tired and sad looking, a 70's/80's vibe.Numerous maintenence issues. All windows and swimming pool area need cleaning. Basic breakfast, smell of urine in dining area. it is a great location and beds were okay. We paid over £450.00 not value for money.

I’ve been coming here for many years. However, after the change in management it now seems to be catering for the plus 75 year olds. Not a problem but the overall standards/facilities/rooms are not as good.

Disappointing
This used to be a nice hotel. Since the change of ownership it has gone substantially downhill. One can no longer pay for parking at the check in. One cannot put drinks on one's room at the bar. There is no air conditioning. The elevator is painfully slow. Hotel now catesr solely for coach trips. Not good for the individual traveller. There are better hotels in Bournemouth
