The whole stay was good, first class stay , my Fiancé is in a wheelchair, the room was a great help designed to help with her disability, The Staff was helpful to make our stay great, would recommend the Grove Hotel to anyone.
Great location , rooms are nice, clean and modern. Good value included breakfast which was good , except only scrambled eggs ,no fried eggs.
Parking was expensive at £15:50 and a long walk in the rain.
Staff were personable and efficient . I stay in Bournemouth often ,so would stay here again
Overal value for money. Our room.was clean and comfortable.
Front desk/reception Rees was veey nuce ane polite.
A few things to note - hotel is quite worn out. Carpets do need to be changed in my opinion.
Breakfast was very very basic, but at least they cooked bouled eggs for me.
Swimming pool is very small and pretty cold. But we managed to swim.
We stayed here as a couple and had a mixed experience. The hotel has its charms, but also a few drawbacks.
Rooms & Amenities:
The rooms were quite small and felt congested, including the toilet where the commode placement was very cramped. The amenities provided were basic — just soap and a combined hair and body wash. Surprisingly, there was no handwash, no refrigerator, and no hair dryer in the room. On the plus side, the room was clean, and we had no issues with hygiene.
Staff & Service:
The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the stay more pleasant.
Facilities & Atmosphere:
The swimming pool was lovely, and the view from the poolside was amazing, directly overlooking the sea. The lounge area shared the same beautiful view — a great spot to relax in the evening. There was even a small jewelry corner inside the hotel, so beware — you might end up buying a ring or necklace if your partner starts browsing!
Other Notes:
The lift was possibly the oldest I've ever used — it really felt like stepping back into the 90s, which in a way added some quirky character to the place.
Food:
The full English breakfast was genuinely very good — one of the highlights of our stay.
Overall Value:
The pricing was reasonable, but for better value, it would be great if they included essentials like a refrigerator, handwash, and hair dryer in the rooms.
Things in the room not working, like air conditioning conditioning in this extreme heat, wall light, not working, blinds falling down, some staff that are not very helpful. The hotel itself looks nice restaurant and bar.
