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.

Everything was just ok. Some places were sub par particularly breakfast with many plates and mugs stained and dirty from poor dishwashing. These could have been removed from Circulation if a simple inspection is done on cricket when it comes out of the dishwasher. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Nice hotel with helpful staff

The gentleman who checked me in was very polite and helpful. My room was quiet, clean and spacious, and overall I was very pleased with my stay. The only downside was the toiletries, which were vegetable fragrances like 'Parsley Stalk' and 'Broccoli', and weren't really to my taste. It would have been nice to be able to get sweet snacks in the bar like cookes or small cakes to go with tea or coffee.
