A very good hotel. Friendly efficient staff. Swimming pool and sauna available. Good position in Bournemouth. Fairly priced. Acceptable breakfast but a number of popular items cost extra. Decent room with air conditioning, bathroom on the small side. Would definitely recommend the hotel and would stay here again.
Pleasantly surprised at the hotel and how nice it was.
The pool area was clean and relaxing with the steam and sauna being well maintained.
Breakfast was fantastic.
Lovely addition to the main hotel. Very clean great location. You can use all the facilities in the main hotel. Great breakfast.

Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Spa facilities are really nice and well maintained. Overall very good value for money. The breakfast buffet is also very good 👍
Lovely stay as usual, but I must say, that although the Bar is supposed to be open 24x7, some theatre goers and I, were waiting 15 mins to get served at the bar, we were told by the Night Porter, that he had just come on!! I think if they advertise this service, bar 24x7, then it should be service at all times, as the Theatre goers said, it was one of the main reasons they booked the Hotel, so they could get a drink after the performance.
Everything else was great service, Spa facilities are very good, pool open early for a swim, 7am and they have members too who use it!! Great facilities!! Great stay!!

Lovely decor in the hotel, spa was great, well equipped gym and good comfy bed
Good location, 10 mins to the pier (20 back though !)
We stayed in the Lodge and the room was fine.
Good breakfast, plenty of choice.
My only grumble was the bathroom. As an older person I had a problem getting in/out of the bath in order to shower. No additional rails.
