Everything was good - from check-in to check-out and beyond. Checking in was easy - our assigned room was not ready when we arrived but an alternative was found within minutes. It was adequate in size, clean, comfortable and quiet. …

I great stay, centrally located with clean comfortable rooms. Great staff and within walking distance of everything. Highly recommended. Our room was large and our wifi met all our needs. It is the perfect place to stay for shopping and the historic Warf.

Nice, simple hotel in a great location. Restaurant downstairs looked delicious for dinner, but a bit on the high end of the price scale. Breakfast was quick, easy and delicious in the morning. We arrived well before noon and easily stored our bags while we went out to explore for the day.

We've stayed a few times at this hotel and it's never let us down. We were celebrating my wife's birthday with a trip to the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and the hotel had put some drinks and chocolate in our room as a surprise.  …

Great location to the historic dockyard, clean, and friendly staff. Interestingly they give you a £4 discount card for parking in the historic dockyard car park, which was very much appreciated.The building was very warm though, the lifts, reception, corridors and the restaurant. Room temp was fine

A good value! It’s a stones throw from the historic dockyards and Portsmouth Harbor train station with several pubs nearby as well. Clean and comfortable room with good lighting and comfy bed. Service was good and breakfast was a nice variety of hot and cold foods.

Stayed in a Premier Plus room. It was large, but - apart from the bed, tv and tea and coffee making - relatively under furnished and equipped. No sofa/comfortable chairs/table, just an old, stained and uncomfortable chair. …
