We had a 1 night stay in a standard double room. For the price we paid it was very good. Room was small but very clean and nicely decorated, no view out the window. Bathroom too small to dry yourself in and the toilet is right up against the door. They do provide a kettle but the cord is short so to reach the socket I had to put the kettle on the floor and the tea cups need to be bigger. Staff were lovely especially the reception supervisor who was very polite and helpful and when I asked for a fan she brought one straight up. Hotel is a collection of lovely old buildings in a residential road close to the seafront. Reception gave us a permit to park in the road round the back. Breakfast was busy so had to catch the attention of staff to get a menu and order. Food was nice but poached eggs hard. I would stay here again but would pay for a bigger room.

A 1 night stay at this well run establishment situated in a suburban street in Portsmouth. We opted for the secure gated parking, which was well worth doing. It is a safe well lit area about 10 minutes walk from the restaurants and pubs in town and very convenient for The Kings Theatre where we were attending a comedy show. The room was quiet and very comfortable. The staff were attentive and friendly and the cooked breakfast was spot in. We would definitely stay again.

Stayed here in the executive suite which had everything we needed. The staff were friendly. Lovely cooked breakfast, i did think it was continental breakfast as well but just cereal which we had to ask for but other than that everything was perfect. Lovely garden. Very clean. The seafront is just a short walk with electric scooters parking to ride which were very cheap and great fun.

Minor things but room should have facial tissue. Breakfast only includes one slice of toast which seems a bit odd. Carpets need refresh.

The staff were polite and would acknowledge you even if you were just passing. Kim who was on reception when we arrived was a standard bearer for the hotel group, she was very welcoming and went above and beyond when we required some direction assistance.

Nice hotel, located conveniently close to the sea front. Good food served at Breakfast in the restaurant. It was the small things that let it down, and stop me giving it an excellent rating. The two most notable:- Bathroom had no shelf space to unpack washbags -so no where to conveniently put toothbrush/paste. Minuscule cups provided for making tea/coffee in the room. Most of the space is filled with the tea bag so you dont get a proper drink. Small things I know, but you just end up thinking "the designer never used this room" Certainly not reasons to avoid the hotel -but it could be better.

Pleasant but not as advertised! We booked an executive room for 6 nights. The bathroom was diabolical the toilet inches from the wall making it impossible to use comfortably. We politely asked for another room but was told it would cost a further £100 to move .The staff seemed dismissive, so we had to take the option but not happily .The photographs on the hotel site show a large bathroom exactly as you would expect from the term executive . To me executive indicates plush and spacious. Breakfast was ample but for six days they couldn’t get the order right and on the last day it seems we were forgotten and had to alert them we were there , Breakfast took 1 hour . We paid extra for parking yet on two occasions we couldn’t park in the spot allocated, once they moved the culprit the second time we had to park in another bay ( not a big issue ) but again spoilt the overall experience. We love the area and plan to return but won’t book here again . Seems they lack in customer service and should advertise the rooms accordingly .

We had a 1 night stay in a standard double room. For the price we paid it was very good. Room was small but very clean and nicely decorated, no view out the window. Bathroom too small to dry yourself in and the toilet is right up against the door. They do provide a kettle but the cord is short so to reach the socket I had to put the kettle on the floor and the tea cups need to be bigger. Staff were lovely especially the reception supervisor who was very polite and helpful and when I asked for a fan she brought one straight up. Hotel is a collection of lovely old buildings in a residential road close to the seafront. Reception gave us a permit to park in the road round the back. Breakfast was busy so had to catch the attention of staff to get a menu and order. Food was nice but poached eggs hard. I would stay here again but would pay for a bigger room.

A really wonderful stay . The lady at reception (Kim) made us feel really welcome and anticipated our needs before we did . The location is ideal . Right by the beach and the breakfast is top quality. Have stated here several times over the past couple of years and will do so again

A 1 night stay at this well run establishment situated in a suburban street in Portsmouth. We opted for the secure gated parking, which was well worth doing. It is a safe well lit area about 10 minutes walk from the restaurants and pubs in town and very convenient for The Kings Theatre where we were attending a comedy show. The room was quiet and very comfortable. The staff were attentive and friendly and the cooked breakfast was spot in. We would definitely stay again.

Very nice property. Close to the water and restaurants. 11 min drive to the international port terminal. I would give it 5 stars if it had air conditioning in the room. Thank heavens for the portable fan in the armoire.

Breakfast was great and the staff were very friendly. The water turned off in the middle of the night but the bathroom was clean. The room was well kept but the door lock was odd. Overall, very cute hotel just a little out of town.

Nice hotel, located conveniently close to the sea front. Good food served at Breakfast in the restaurant. It was the small things that let it down, and stop me giving it an excellent rating. The two most notable:- Bathroom had no shelf space to unpack washbags -so no where to conveniently put toothbrush/paste. Minuscule cups provided for making tea/coffee in the room. Most of the space is filled with the tea bag so you dont get a proper drink. Small things I know, but you just end up thinking "the designer never used this room" Certainly not reasons to avoid the hotel -but it could be better.

Pleasant but not as advertised! We booked an executive room for 6 nights. The bathroom was diabolical the toilet inches from the wall making it impossible to use comfortably. We politely asked for another room but was told it would cost a further £100 to move .The staff seemed dismissive, so we had to take the option but not happily .The photographs on the hotel site show a large bathroom exactly as you would expect from the term executive . To me executive indicates plush and spacious. Breakfast was ample but for six days they couldn’t get the order right and on the last day it seems we were forgotten and had to alert them we were there , Breakfast took 1 hour . We paid extra for parking yet on two occasions we couldn’t park in the spot allocated, once they moved the culprit the second time we had to park in another bay ( not a big issue ) but again spoilt the overall experience. We love the area and plan to return but won’t book here again . Seems they lack in customer service and should advertise the rooms accordingly .

Breakfast was great but the layout was very strange. We were eating breakfast bext to reception. Also the ensuit /shower was not designed well. Couldn't turn in shower, no shelves to put toiletries or make up bag on. The bedroom carpet should be replaced with tiled floor. Staff were very pleasant.
