Very noisy

Not too bad for just one night, we were on the ground floor very noisy dozens of smokers standing outside our room talking. The slamming of doors that shakes the room, bed gave me a backache. Not sure we would want to stay again.

Portsmouth over 4 days

Mini break. Hotel in a good position for walking and seeing the sights by foot. Car remained in car park for 5 days. (£5 daily) Bought breakfast when booked as £5 each daily, very good deal inc buffet and cooked. On busier days things weren’t topped up inc crockery. Helpful, friendly staff. Pillow really uncomfortable, I asked for another and soft one left in room for me 👍 Didn’t use the pool or gym due to walking so much instead. Took a Hovercraft to Isle of Wight. £22.20 return each (over 60) for the day. Plenty of crossings. Arrives in Ryde. Buses around the island from there. Your bus starts end of May. Portsmouth really clean and friendly. Also the toilets were all open and free!! Harbour walks were so clean, no dog poo or litter. Lots of green spaces where families and teenagers having BBQ and playing sports, lovely to see so many enjoying themselves. Great weather made for a great break. Did a harbour cruise, informative £11 each. If u go to the harbour museum u can buy a ticket to do all 3 ships, sub and includes the above harbour cruise. Although £51 u can repeatedly visit within the year. We had left it to late to get the most from this ticket. Our first visit and we would definitely come again and recommend to others.
