A lounge bar as well as a shared lounge and various recreational opportunities can be enjoyed at the 4-star hotel, boasting the setting not far from the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum.

The sandy beach is 18 minutes' walk away. A family vacation to Bournemouth will become more exciting if you visit the award-winning Oceanarium lying 850 metres from this accommodation.

“I found the hotel strikes a pleasing balance, with grand Edwardian architecture housing interiors of modern style. Just a short walk to Bournemouth's East Cliff beaches, the location suits those seeking seaside leisure. What stands out is the emphasis on attentive, personalized service.”

The lounge bar area was excellent. It was a good space to relax.
The bedroom door was poorly fitted, and I noticed a significant gap at the bottom. Light flooded in, disturbing my sleep. I had to use cushions to block the light.

misleading bedearly noises
the room i booked was supposed to have a king-sized bed, but it felt more like a standard double. i found that misleading. also, i was woken up both mornings by loud noises from what sounded like kitchen staff right outside my door.. this started way too early. i expect better soundproofing or at least consideration at that hour. it really messed up my sleep schedule.
