Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The room had a lovely view despite being a bit noisy at times. The service was friendly, although there were a few hiccups. The location was convenient for exploring Southsea and old Portsmouth. The dining experience was a mix of excellent service and some shortcomings. The facilities were sufficient for my needs.
The hotel's location is second to none, offering a brilliant view from a sea-facing room and easy access to the shops in Southsea and Portsmouth on foot. The service was particularly good, with attentive and pleasant staff ready to assist, even coming with extra coffee during a fire alarm. Dining at the hotel was exceptional, with personalized service and a delightful bar area featuring live music. However, the rooms were quite stuffy due to limited ventilation, needing a provided fan, and the Sunday menu experience was somewhat inconsistent.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room I first got was noisy and small, but I was later moved to a refurbished room that was very clean, stylish, and comfortable. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff and a parking ticket provided. The location was excellent for a seaside stroll, although the water was a bit too soft. The dining was good overall, but there was no offer for a refund or discount for an issue out of their control. The facilities were nice, though basic at best.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was convenient for exploring the local area and had lovely sea views, but there were some standards lacking in terms of dress code at breakfast. The rooms were small and a little tired, but the friendly service made up for it. The dining options had a good selection, yet there were some underwhelming aspects to the food.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room, although not facing the sea, offered an outstanding view of the Solent and Isle of Wight. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, the location was convenient with easy access to attractions, and the dining experience was enjoyable. However, the renovation work caused some inconvenience, and resolving a parking ticket issue took time and effort.
