Great little gem of a hotel 👍
I was pleasantly surprised at this little gem of a hotel situated very close to Gunwharf Quay and local transport services, the room was exceptionally clean, great shower, very comfortable bed and perfect pillow. At breakfast I had perfectly poached eggs, great bacon and decent sausages, coffee from the pot was very nice. I will defistay here again and at almost half the price of the local chains it represents very good value. Great 👍

Great find!
Great find! Only a minute from the train and bus stations. Easy check-in. We had a triple room which was very spacious and not at all cramped. Comfortable bed. Nice soft large towels! Well stocked tea tray. Large bathroom with bath and shower. Breakfast included, freshly cooked with help yourself cold selection.

Lovely hotel
So glad I booked this hotel. Staff very friendly and efficient. Room was lovely and we had a sea view. The bed was very comfortable and the room/bathroom were warm even though the radiators weren't turned on. The hotel wasn't noisy but there were roadworks right outside our room but that was only an issue during the day. Good location with train station across the road plus a shopping centre with an amazing cinema. Breakfast was good and we had a fabulous meal in the restaurant on our last night. We would definitely stay there again. The only small gripe is that there were 3 plug sockets next to the single bed but none by the double.

What a beautifully restored and convenient hotel to stay at, we crossed the street from the train station and they had a lift. We had a delicious dinner at the captain’s table. Great selection of wines.

Quirky hotel just a couple of minutes from the train station. Nice staff. Linens were fine, but the carpet in the room was very badly stained.

6/10 Good

This hotel is superbly located for a visit to the Naval Yard where the HMS Victory and Mary Rose are located. Further it is literally across the street from the Portsmouth Harbor train station and the Gunwharf Quay shopping center. Apart from the hotel’s location, there are some other positives. The included breakfast is good, and the hotel is clean, even though it is much shabbier than it appears in photographs. WIFI reception is spotty and often non-existent; we did not accept the excuse that the building was old. There was an insufficiency of electrical outlets in our room, along with simple items such as shelves or places to hang things in the room or bathroom. Unless you require the use of a handicap accessible bathroom, do not accept one. The sink is so low as to be almost unusable; it was, in general, unusably laid out.

Great location, friendly staff, but a few niggling issues with our room - nowhere to hang wet coats, bathroom floor not cleaned properly.
