clean roomcoffee makerdated decorlong wait
The room was clean. It also offered a delicious Nespresso coffee maker, though I found the initial supply of pods to be a little limited. The reception was quick to address this, responding kindly with more coffee.
The room was spacious but dated. I found the decor in need of refreshing. Getting extra towels proved to be a bit of a chore one night. I had to wait almost two hours for them to arrive.

I had a double room harbour view balcony. it offered magnificent views over the water and brownsea island. the breakfast had excellent choices overlooking the harbor. all staff were courteous. The young lady at reception was especially helpful. i also appreciated the proximity to beaches and sandbanks.
On one night, getting clean towels and toilet roll was a pain. I waited nearly two hours, though the staff eventually provided them. the wait was lengthy, and i did feel some inconvenience!

The Oriental restaurant offered excellent food. I ate on a Sunday night, so it was quiet. The terrace had a magnificent view. This explains the high meal prices.
