The location was excellent for us feeling central to accessing Southsea and Portsmouth. Within walking distance to old Portsmouth and the sea from. From Checking in we spent little time at the venue, but the time we did, the staff were excellent and the room was clean and comfortable meeting our needs.

Very bad !

Absolutely disgusting place to stay ! Hotel car park way too small for the hotel. I got checked into a moth infested room to be then moved into a damn, smelly room with no heating or ac which also looked like had previous moth infestations. The shower leaked all over the floor. The tv didn’t even have itv so couldn’t watch tv. Breakfast was overcooked and cold. Very noisy hotel, windows aren’t sound proof so I could hear people wheeling suitcases across the car park late at night and early hours of the mornings. Can hear the traffic going past on the road. This isn’t good when you’ve got a long day ahead of you the next day. Rooms are very run down, need a lick of paint, new carpets and a good upgrade ! Food was overpriced and wasn’t all that great, I’ve had better food at weatherspoons. Very disappointing when you’ve already paid a lot of money for the room for a weekend. I won’t be returning. When checked out the staff didn’t seem bothered by any of this when I told them.

A very comfortable and pleasant room, efficient and welcoming staff, and the breakfast was tasty and filling. Nothing to complain about within the powers of the staff, however it was a bit disconcerting when both lifts spent some time out of action during my stay.

Check in was average, food and bar service was poor. Food quality was poor, perhaps the worst pizza I've ever eaten.the sofa bed was tired and noisy so the children didnt sleep well. The best part was the customer service from the leisure centre staff.

Room was clean but compact. The mattress was torn with the stuffing coming out. At check in we were told there was a large group in the restaurant at 6pm and was advised to wait until 7pm. As there were only two of us and we don’t like to eat late, we went to the restaurant at 6pm to be told it was closed to general guests until 8:30pm. Fortunately the restaurant greeter was helpful and found us a table in the bar by removing a reserved sign. Also told it was going to be the same the following so we ate out. On site car parking is very limited.
