The hotel is situated above the cliffs, offering an amazing location along the seafront, but my room experience in room 130 was not great. The university accommodation area being nearby was a plus for us since we visited our daughter. Close to the sea but room quality was subpar for the price paid.

Rooms

For the price I paid, the room was disappointing, and nothing special was done for my wife's birthday. Some belongings were missing, and the room quality did not match the expectations.

The dining experience was disappointing for the price paid with poor standard offerings. The lack of guidance on breakfast locations was also a downside.

The hotel is conveniently located, but the room was smaller than expected. The shower did not work, and there were maintenance issues in the bathroom. On the positive side, the hotel is in a great spot between Bournemouth and Boscombe Piers, making it easy to explore the area with my daughter.

The hotel is right in front of the sea front with a superb location offering great views of the sea and easy access to the sandy beach. The staff is nice and friendly. However, the rooms are small and not as shown in the pictures online, with limited amenities and only 1 towel provided. The dining experience, although included in a deal, was subpar. Despite these drawbacks, the convenient location and friendly staff make up for it.
