Clean and comfortable

The room was clean and comfortable, although the position of the bed meant that I could clearly hear people using the toilet in the room next door. The toilet in my room made a loud humming noise while the cistern was filling but it only lasted for about 5 minutes each time. It was a good value stay in Portsmouth though

Location was best feature On arrival the receptionist did not know what the Mary Rose (Portsmouth's top attraction) was or where is it. The desk clerk reserved a taxi for departure which never arrived and he was dismissive with a "not my problem" attitude We are seniors and my wife is handy capped but we received no help at all to get our bags out to the taxi stand

Absolutely amazing hotel, full of history, has a library full of maritime genre books and plenty of comfy areas to sit and relax. Staff were amazing and breakfast was fabulous. Full availability on cooked and continental breakfast. Rooms were lovely and had what we needed. Hotel is within easy walking distance of the dockyard, shopping and transport links. Would recommend easily.

Very traditional and comfortable service hotel. Location is good, very close to the railway station and the Historic Dockyards. There was however some noise quite late on from a housing estate at the rear of the property (I sleep with a window open). Next time I'll ask for a room at the front maybe. Room and en suite spotless. Very clean and comfy. Traditional English breakfast was faultless.
