An enjoyable stay with a clean tidy comfortable room. The friendly reception team checked us in swiftly and efficiently, and although the restaurant was busy our food from the kitchen arrived in good time and tasted delicious. We paid extra to have a cooked breakfast which we purchased the day before at a discount price. Overall we had a lovely stay and will visit again sometime.

The swimming pool was nice. It was hard to park, not a big car considering the size of the hotel. It needed more staff in the bar area. Plus it would easier if the staff in the morning at name badges so you could so see who was staff

Great stay- enjoyed visiting Portsmouth.

I enjoyed an early swim noting a reasonable sized pool and that the cleanliness was good. I was able to use the jacuzzi, steam and sauna room also available. All staff were friendly and helpful. The bedroom was good and bathroom although the temperature was quite warm. Tried to alter it but with no luck.
