Room was comfortable and clean. Could do with body lotion in the bathroom. Pool area, sauna and steam room all good and clean. Nice breakfast but 9.30am today some of the buffet was poorly stocked and I was met with a grumpy response when I asked if there was any more fried bread

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.

Well positioned hotel, as a 15 min walk to gunwarf quays. Pool and steam an added bonus. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment. The hotel kindly gave us a permit to park the car on the road as the car park was full at times. Room clean and comfortable bed. Very warm amd aircon not working. It was late when we returned to the room so I didnt wish to change rooms as offered. Was given a fan quickly.

I paid too too much for the room! It’s not worth it but I stay here for the location and nothing else! Car park fee is ridiculous!!! Next year I’ll be charged to breathe! You spend less than 24 hrs in the hotel but pay £120 to sleep ridiculous!
