Positive Reviews
positive:
Boutique rooms are a nice change of pace.
Guests overwhelmingly appreciated the great decor and modern
furnishings in the rooms. The boutique accommodations were said to be
a welcome change of pace from typical chain hotels, particularly
others in the area which were described as dated and lacking in
character.
positive:
Great location in Bournemouth.
The hotel’s convenient location close to town and the coast was
frequently cited as a selling point. Visitors stated that the hotel
is about a two-minute walk from downtown Bournemouth and its many
business and landmarks and about a five-minute stroll to the beach.
positive:
Polite and accommodation hotel staff.
The hosts were highly praised for their courteousness, professionalism, and attentiveness to the needs of their guests. Employees work to cultivate a welcoming and homely environment, and reviewers also complimented the daily breakfast wait staff.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Ground floor rooms can be noisy.
The rooms on the ground floor suffer from considerably more noise than those on the upper levels. Sounds from reception, the breakfast area, and tenants above mean that light sleepers would do well to request a room on the upper floors.
negative:
Breakfast needs improvement.
A number of reviewers were disappointed with the breakfast, which is not included in the booking price despite being a rather simple continental affair. The food was said to be of mediocre quality and consisted of frozen foods which were sometimes not properly cooked.
negative:
Comfort issues in some rooms.
Guests reported problems in some of the rooms, including small and
overly soft beds, poor water pressure in the showers, and a lack of
shower curtains causing a mess in the bathrooms.
