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.

It was very comfortable, but needs up grading, but there is no point as we understand it has been bought by Harry Rednap to turn it into flats. What a shame.

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.

Very bad experience
This hotel should not be trading and hotels.com should not be selling rooms at this hotel. The hotel room was clean but the decor and furniture within was very dated and old. The hotel is not maintaining the building to an acceptable standard since the outside areas and windows were absolutely filthy dirty.

Nice little Hotel
It’s a nice hotel located reasonably well you can get on the bus right near it. There is a shop around the corner et cetera. The only downside is the hotel is very dated which isn’t a problem but it just needs an uplift. The staff are very friendly but was disappointed when they told me that the hotel was sold and that is why it is been left to be running into the ground which is a shame, I’m guessing in Prime prime it was a lovely hotel . The pool is a very handy to use and the gym is nice as well
