    Location near the seafront and shopping precinct makes it convenient for exploring. Unique cozy rooms emphasize a quirky charm that stands out from typical hotels.

    The mattress in my room slanted heavily, resulting in a terrible night’s sleep as the springs dug in. Parking is a hassle. the on-site lot filled by 4 PM, forcing me to search for street parking for over 30 minutes. The front door was locked upon arrival, requiring a frustrating search for a key box in the rain with no clear communication beforehand. Room size is tight—en-suite shower room felt almost claustrophobic, lacking adequate space for comfort. Additional noise from slamming doors was bothersome during the night.

    Be sure to ask about parking options upon arrival, as limited spaces can be tricky to navigate.

    wifi issues
    small bathroom

    we stayed last night n were totally delighted with our room. the location is just fab, only 5 mins to the beach and loads of nice restaurants nearby. our room was super clean n had comfy beds with lovely fresh sheets. the little touches like cookies n chocolate in the room were awsome. the reception lady was really friendly too.

    the wifi didn't work for me, but i didn't ask about it since i was there only for a night. also, the bathroom was super small and i didn't like that i had to share it.

    We stayed for one night. Location is just five minutes from the beach. Limited parking space made it tricky. Great staff and clean rooms with lots of chocolate treats. Perfect for fishing trips nearby.

    comfy bed
    great location
    medieval torture device

    Great location and comfy bed made my stay delightful! The thick curtains kept the morning light at bay, perfect for a late snooze.

    My back woke up thinking it was in a medieval torture device—might need a miracle to feel better! And good luck if you fancy a bath, it's a shower-only affair.

    fresh breakfast
    helpful staff

    It was a smart choice for a city holiday in Bournemouth with best value for money ratio. The breakfast was fresh and plentiful with a great selection, including a lovely cooked breakfast. Try to get a room away from the road to avoid noise.

    great location
    children's menu

    We stayed in a cozy double room with our two boys. The hotel’s location was perfect for a family outing, allowing us to take a short stroll to the beach and the Pavilion for an evening show. The kids loved the chocolate-themed decor, especially the sweet treats in the lobby.

    In my wife's opinion, a children's menu at breakfast would be great for picky eaters.

    Delicious breakfast and cozy atmosphere

    I had a lovely one-night stay and thoroughly enjoyed the delicious breakfast that featured delightful options like chocolate waffles. The cozy room was well-equipped with sweet touches like chocolate truffles, making it feel special. The staff was attentive and it was great to be just a short walk from the beach and local attractions. the parking situation can be a bit tight, so plan accordingly if you're arriving by car.

    enjoyable stay with room for improvement

    The central location made it easy to explore nearby attractions. I appreciated the cleanliness of the room, which felt fresh and inviting. The decor with chocolates was a charming touch that added to the ambiance.

    The view from our room could have been more appealing.

    cramped room
    uncomfortable bed

    The hotel had a charming atmosphere with a lovely chocolate aroma throughout, and the breakfast was freshly cooked and enjoyable. my room felt a bit cramped, and the bed wasn’t as comfortable as I had hoped. Staff were generally pleasant, but improvements could definitely be made.

    cozy room
    delicious breakfast
    tight parking

    Had a fantastic time with friends. We visited the BIC for a concert and enjoyed some lovely evening walks. The room was cozy, the staff was friendly, and the breakfast hit the spot. Don't miss out on their delicious options! Make sure you check out those chocolate nibs at the front desk.

    The only downside was the tight parking situation. It can get a bit crowded, so plan to arrive early if you're driving.
