All round the hotel was in the right location for our needs. The only thing was we were in a room in the roof space so it was restricted with head room, so if you got up in the night you had to remember to bend or you would hit your head , recommend when booking request you are on the lower floor as the bedrooms look more roomy and lager especially if you are staying for a few days.

It is a lovely welcoming boutique hotel with comfortable rooms providing all I needed for a holiday. The staff are very friendly welcoming and helpful. They will go out of their way to help you that extra step if necessary and are always cheerful even when extremely busy. The food is delicious with lots of variety catering for all needs and very reasonably priced. It is 10 minutes walk from the sea and near to the shopping centre too. It is a popular meeting and eating place for local people but not noisy. Background music is pleasant but does not interfere with conversations. I hope it continues to do well. I give it 10 out of 10 on all counts and am recommending it to everyone!

Birthday weekend

The hotel is indeed very relaxed and we enjoyed the atmosphere very much. Nothing was too much for the very friendly staff. We also had our birthday weekend with family and grandchildren at the Urban Reef restaurant by the beach, fantastic!

Made last-minute decision to stay in Bournemouth for the night and this place did not disappoint. The room was a decent size with a super-comfy bed. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Lounge with open-view roof is perfect on a sunny day to enjoy drinks. - The steps to the rooms may be tricky for people with mobility issues. - Parking is on-street only and on a first-come basis.

Toilet Nightmare

The Hotel was clean but service very poor. The Toilet was so small could not sit on and had to sideways put your leg out the door. sink too small water flying out. Asked for extra tea bags and daily water bottles looked at me like I was from another planet !! Riped off for drinks and no parking around the area also very rough area.
