The hotel is conveniently located near Southsea beach and within walking distance to various attractions. The rooms offer comfortable accommodation for four but may need updating, with small noticeable details like a lack of seating for both guests. The price is competitive for the area, and the location provides easy access to local amenities and attractions.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms left much to be desired with poor quality amenities, and the pricing fluctuated, making it less worth the money. However, the service was exceptional, offering a pleasant and helpful staff, especially Patrycja at reception. The location was convenient for exploring the area, although the proximity to the main entrance was a downside for non-smokers. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some issues but also standout moments. Overall, a stay with noticeable contrasts that impacted the overall enjoyment.

The hotel offers very basic rooms for the cost, which are a nice size and were very warm on arrival, although still undergoing refurbishment. The service could have been a bit more attentive in clearing plates, but they were very accommodating when we wanted to watch a rugby match. The location is ideal for the seafront, town, and historic dockyard, accessible at all times of the night. The dining experience was very nice and plentiful, though a bit on the high side. Overall, a good value hotel option.

My stay at the hotel was truly remarkable. The room on the sixth floor offered an extraordinary view of the seafront with ferries and hovercraft going to-and-fro the Isle of Wight. The spacious and clean room, amidst ongoing refurbishments, was complemented by a great bed. The service was top-notch, with lovely, friendly, and helpful staff setting a great example. The location was ideal for exploring Portsmouth, and the dining experience, despite some tea preferences and timing issues, had an excellent selection to choose from.
