Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is in a convenient location with easy access to the town center via the nearby bus stop. The rooms are equipped with all the essentials for a cozy stay, with a very comfy bed ensuring a good night's sleep. The service provided was excellent, making the overall experience enjoyable. However, the dining options were a bit limited, affecting the overall dining experience.
The hotel is located in a nice area just off Southsea seafront, making it convenient for exploring Portsmouth. The in-house style breakfast was delicious, but the lack of tea/coffee included was a downside. The very comfy bed ensured a restful stay, although the thin crispy fries could be improved.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The location is superb, right by a bus stop to town and near independent shops and restaurants. The rooms were cozy, with a basin in the bedroom which I found quite convenient. The service was exceptional, and the staff even allowed me to relax in the Lounge area before checking out. The dining experience was excellent, especially with the inclusion of delicious home-made yoghurt. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable. The only downside was the slightly higher price for the value offered.
