The Urban Beach Review
Once-sedate Bournemouth has been waiting a long time for the injection of contemporary style and energy provided by this funky boutique hotel. Though located in the slightly suburban setting of Boscombe (a 10-minute drive from Bournemouth's center), and resembling a B&B from the outside, the hotel is a short walk from the seafront and has a tastefully minimalist interior with muted tones and a slightly retro feel. Its youthful staff members are simultaneously laid-back, enthusiastic, and professional. The buzzing downstairs bistro is known for its food, and you have access to a health club.
