Overall, it's good but a mixed bag in some aspects. Staff were excellent, room was comfortable but needed some tlc...cracked vanity mirror/mould marks on shower room ceiling/shower head needs limescale cleaning/one set of guest towels not put out. Breakfast was excellent quality, dinner was also good quality, at "top end pub" prices. Very small bar, bottled beers only. Definitely worth paying for reserved parking spaces as local streets are very narrow and very busy. Good location for both Southsea town and seafront. Overall, a positive experience and would definitely consider again!

Room was clean, spacious and nicely furnished, modern but in keeping with the age and style of the building. Breakfast was fantastic, with a really nice menu to choose from. All the staff we met were super friendly and helpful. Great location for visiting Soutsea and surrounding area. Would definitely recommend paying the extra for a parking bay at the front of the hotel as street parking could be tricky. We stayed to visit family in Southsea and will definitely use this hotel again!

A nice hotel.

Lovely staff. Was disappointed with the breakfast choice. Our menu only had cooked breakfasts. When I asked if they had porridge etc, I was told they did (wasn’t in the menu). However I could have stood my spoon up in the porridge because it was so thick and chewy. It also had lots of honey on it, which I hadn’t asked for. This made it too sweet. Also, we had no hot water for one evening and the next morning. Overall a nice hotel and a good location.
