I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is wonderful, down a VERY steep hill but close enough to the beach, making it convenient for beach lovers. The rooms were lovely with larger bathroom facilities and crispy clean sheets. However, the service could use some improvement, but it didn't majorly affect my experience. The dining was average but had some tasty grilled and boiled fish options. The facilities were good overall.

The hotel is located on the beach, which means it is close to the beach and Boscombe pier. It's down a VERY steep hill, but the view is worth it. The rooms are spacious and the bathroom facilities are larger than usual, with crispy clean sheets making the stay comfortable.
