Building itself was older and the routing to the room a bit complicated. Very clean rooms and very friendly personell. Had water stains on their bathroom ceiling. But no mold so just need a proper paint job.

Couldn’t get a drink at 11.10pm. Room basic snd a bit shabby. No air conditioning so the room was too hot. Opening the window made little difference and noise from seagulls on roof outside woke me up. Mattess was cheap snd uncomfortable. I am shocked that this hotel has a high rating. It’s really not s nice place at all. £50 a night would be the right price…not £150. Definitely avoid

Sunday dinner was a disappointment, advertised thick rare beef. But it was cut wafer thin and well done. Had the free ice cream and told we couldn’t have the forces discount as we had ice cream. No one told us. Went down for breakfast with 30 mins to spare. Cheap bread, poor coffee and a big lack of pastries. Some staff were pleasant but a couple of receptionists were so miserable. It was a hotel full of character but overall it was disappointing. Rooms were so hot as no air con and cheap thin small towels.

Great location for the Dockyards, Gunwharf Quays, and Spinnaker Tower. Reasonable walk (1mile) to Old Portsmouth and the remaining Bastion. A couple of pubs close by and the hotel bar is very pleasant.

Good price, easy check in, parking, friendly staff, v good breakfast. Good convenient location. Room was dated and too warm. A fan in the room would help. Hotel is in a residential area so a little noisy advise to take ear plugs.

Property was basic and ok for the price. Room was clean but aged. Parking appeared ok until I left to find someone low life had decided to key my car. Don’t think I would park outside the hotel again. Very convenient for Gun Wharf quay. and station.
