The staff are friendly and super helpful but the staff were a minimum of one person at a time so when they went on breaks no one at reception until they came back not the staffs fault but maybe could do with employing more staff to cover and support . The second room as we got moved was bigger and with better conditioned furniture and with a fridge and was more airy and bigger so room was ok and the hotel is convenient walk to the sea front , to buses and trains so was in a great location. Our first room had outdated and shabby furniture , small and dark and the shower was rusted so much as it broke but the staff were very proactive and moved us to a much better room straight wlaway couldn't fault customer service. The pool was lovely and cool , the hot tub was lovely and the sauna was nice but the bench was broken so couldn't sit at the top but otherwise nice that it had these facilities with great open and close times to use the facilities. The hotel for the price is not worth it should be at a lower price as it is in urgent need of repair and drvoragring but if you are after good staff, somewhere central this is the place but I think £255 for two nights was over priced for the standard of the hotel .

The hotel wasn’t like what was advertised on line, pictures well out dated, pool changing rooms VERY dirty and had mold everywhere and smelt like a fish pond. Sauna and steam room were very unsafe with the tiles lifting in the steam room on the floor. It had no ways off having a hot meal at the hotel it just had a microwave in a large room, the curtains were ripped and stained. The whole hotel was run down and felt like I was in a hostel, I stayed for the night and was gone early so I cut my stay very short, what should had been a long weekend away, turn into less then 24 hours before leaving. Very disappointed and upset. Very unclean and unsafe !

Faulty Towers ?
The hotel need to close and have a full refurbishment.one presumes they do not or can not get an alcohol licence as bar only sold soft drinks and coffee. The windows in our room were filthy and one of the chairs was ripped exposing the padding and the carpet was worn exposing the thread of weave.The staff were pleasant and polite . Our bathroom was nicely tilled with mould on sections of the silicon. Tea and coffee were supplied in the room and the hotel had a swimming pool which we did not visit. The hotel overall is very very dated and does not warrant the charge per room per night.

The hotel was not like the photos as they made it look a lot classier, the hotel was very dated, ceiling tiles missing, threadbare carpets, very creaky floorboards. The beds however were very comfy and there was plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. The pool was nice, gym very rough and ready and the steam sauna addquate. Breakfast was limited with a choice of sausage, scrambled eggs and bacon (veg sausage on request, but not very nice), toast, croissant, cereal and tinned fruit. The hotel needs a lot of money spending on it, it could be very nice indeed . Not really worth the money but i think you pay for the location as it is a short walk to the railway station, town and beach. Staff very friendly and are doing a great job.

August Summer Holiday Away
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel for 4 nights. We were Bed & Breakfast. Check in was excellent as we arrived earlier than the check in time but our room was made available within 10 minutes. Twin room we had was clean and tidy. The room was one used by the disabled, so it was large and roomy. Large dining room. Breakfast each morning was adequate. Both continental and a few hot plate choices of bacon, sausage, scrambled egg and hash browns, with juices, tea and coffee a plenty. Bar area was nice. The gym, pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna were all excellent, nice to relax and unwind there after being out walking all day, although the gym area and changing rooms could do with a bit of modernisation as they looked a little dated. Overall an enjoyable stay. Staff were all courteous and couldn’t do enough for you. Would definitely stay there again. Thank you.

Basic,tired hotel
The hotel situated in the middle of Bournemouth. It doesn't have the lift, floors are creaking, room is clean but tired. In the room we have a small TV from 1980 era, this match the bathroom decor. There is kettle, to make your own coffee or tea and some biscuits which are the added bonus. The receptionist is a single man band, juggled queries alone, phone or walk in customers, which make it seems very rush in handling customers. The lady in the bar was very friendly. Overall, the hotel is tired and need a good clean throughly. The part that can be handled directly by the staff are clean but places like outside window, walls,conservatory's window are dirty. There is also free parking area. It is ok hotel.
