Great spot to enjoy Portsmouth/Southsea
The room was lovely, we had everything we needed. Good breakfast choices for vegetarians (and non). Great location between Southsea sea front and Albert Road (for restaurants etc), plus walkable to the train station and central Portsmouth.

Pleasant
Pleasant stay at the top of the house on one of the coldest days of the year so it was a little cold at times but soon cured by the provision of an electric fire.

Good Hotel!
There were no issues with our stay. We had a nice bedroom, bathroom and lovely breakfasts! The only issue we had was that we arrived at the hotel about 2.00pm but were told check-in was 3.00pm. I know from a previous call that our room was not being used the night before so why not allow guests in a little earlier!

Top quality hotel.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent included breakfast. Receptionist arranged to store our large suitcases overnight as we did not require them for our overnight stay. Decor of a very high standard. Would strongly recommend this hotel.
