Eat & Drink

Serving a wide assortment of dishes, Cristallo is in the immediate vicinity of the Hop Inn Bournemouth.

“The Hop Inn strikes me as a classic Victorian pub stay, made better by its easy access to Bournemouth's beaches. I imagine the live music adds a lively backdrop, and the homemade pub fare is a solid, unpretentious option. For a no-frills visit close to the seafront action, it's a smart pick, especially if you're traveling with a pet.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews

The Hop Inn is a popular choice, particularly for those attending events at the BIC, thanks to its excellent location just a short walk away. Guests often highlight the comfortable beds, great showers, and spacious rooms, with some finding the rooms almost too warm. The downstairs pub is a convenient spot for breakfast or drinks, and you're also close to the pier and a supermarket for any needs.
