We had a great room with a 4 poster bed
The issue was the noise of the nightclub which went on to 4am.
Dont stay on a Friday or Saturday.

the hotel is in amazing location, brilliant for the BIC. It is an older place and things like carpets and bannisters need a little TLC. The hotel are up front about the night club and bar onsite, but to be fair, it didn't disturb us at all. rook was comfortable. Not our first visit, and wont be our last

Stayed here before, so booked again to visit the Xmas lights. We didn't have to pay for parking and the reception gentleman was very friendly. The room was clean, and very warm and there were toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfast was really good. The only downside is that when we returned in the evening we were hoping to get some food, however it was a very limited menu which was kind of sushi and oriental. It would have been nice if they could have offered a bar snack menu, even if it was only a burger. Other than this we could not fault the hotel

It was good, my first time in Bournemouth, a bit cold in the hotel, the heating was on timing only on in the morning, the price was a bit higher, could do better.
I prefer Devon than Dorset

Lumpy bed, but otherwise a great room on the top floor with brilliant views over the pier.

We got a message after the reservation was done about the bar/club. The noise was louder than we thought.
The window in the room can use some new paint, and the ceiling in the bedroom could use some new plaster.
The window was a but drafty
