Great hotel and location
This is our third visit to the Hermitage. The rooms are very clean, the staff are polite, the bar and restaurant area are very pleasant to have a drink or meal. I would highly recommend this hotel. It is located well with a couple of minutes walk from the BIC and beach. A short stroll to the town centre too. We will be returning soon.
Glad I chose this hotel
Newly refurbished room was very comfortable, excellent bathroom. Breakfast was very tasty and plentiful. Staff were friendly and helpful. Onsite parking. Location is perfect for beach, Bournemouth International Centre and Pavilion. Would stay again.
