We stayed here for our honeymoon on our recent trip to Portsmouth and it was awesome. Such a quaint little hotel. Gorgeous rooms and restaurant, wonderful staff and service. Such a great find. A little removed from the main part of town but within a 30min walk. Close to the seaside too. A really romantic feel, we enjoyed it very... more

We have just returned from a two night stay at the Clarence Hotel. What can you say - it is a wonderful hotel with the service of the staff being exceptional - nothing is too much trouble. We were met by Louise the manager who helped us in with our bags. We were given a welcome drink in the bar... more

Anywhere that has chocolates on your pillow when you return from your evening out gets my vote! Staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was fantastic - loved the bath as a feature in the bedroom. Didn't appear on arrival to be in the nicest location in Southsea but was very quiet and the hotel itself made up... more

We found this almost by accident on the rebound from finding ourselves booked in to a very dreary place nearby and what a relief it was! Louise, the manager greeted us like long lost friends and made us feel so welcome. We were given the choice of rooms - all very different to each other, and nothing was too much... more

Good Staff Good rooms Good Service. Shame that it isnt sighted on the front for better views ( you look out onto houses/flats) but.... better that than that the hotels isn't falling apart and the food inedible! . These folk want to ensure that it is right, young chef...knows what he is doing! Would use them again no problem, and... more

Stayed one night would loved to have stayed longer as this hotel was a bit special. The hotel is situated close to the seafront within walking distance of the spinniker tower. The rooms are tastefully decorated and that little bit of difference make it a lovely place to stay as do the management who look after your every need. When... more

This hotel was a chance finding when we were looking for something special for our wedding night, from the moment we stepped through the door, we knew something special was exactly what we had found. The room was beautiful, and the attention to detail made it very special, there were lots of little extras. The staff are fantastic, immediately make... more

Tripadvisor is rarely wrong and yes this is a near faultless gem. I got lost getting there as my sat nav didn't accept that the street existed. Luckily the receptionist ( a lady, sorry forgot your name) displayed the patience of Job and like a control tower 'talked me in'. Welcome drink most gratefully accepted . Room great, bathroom decadent.... more
