"We stayed 4 to 6 th December 25 for my hubbys birthday.
Got upgrades to a lovely sea view room that was amazing and had a free standing bath in the bedroom.
Bar was a nice atmosphere and nice drinks and breakfast was delicious.
The weather was glorious on the 4 th so had a swim in the outdoor pool which was heated and then went to sauna and indoor pool .
The only thing that was annoying was our room door banged when someone opened the doors to the corridor that we were in which was quite a lot so I never got a lot of sleep .
And the parking was really expensive £27 a night , I thought if you stayed at the hotel it would be free .
Does not put me off though as our stay was wonderful and I’m looking forward to staying again as we visit Bournemouth a lot .
Thank you again to the staff of the Nici for the upgrade … you are my fav hotel .
See you soon
