“A Backpackers' Outfit”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

This is a very basic hostel type accommodation with little home comfort. The room is virtually just a bare minimum, with surprise surprise the wash hand basin openly right by the bed, a separate shower cubicle and a confined separate littel space as toilet. We have to admit we never come across a hotel like that before and Indeed we... More

“Excellent Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2013

Superb service having arrived late evening (including a free cup of coffee), had business guest for breakfast (really welcoming staff), left a family car in the car park for the morning (no problems) - I will always stay here when I visit Portsmouth in the future - excellent value for money!

“Friendly Welcome”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2013

Clean modern hotel ideally situated for the city centre. Was greeted at reception by very friendly staff and extremely helpfull. Room spotless and comfortable. My only grouse is there are no tea or coffee facilities in the rooms.

“Only for non-sleeping guests”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2013

Don't get me wrong, I understand the concept of a budget hotel. However, this hotel is not fit for purpose...because it is impossible to sleep there. We spent three nights attempting to sleep in this hotel but were unsuccessful for a number of reasons: 1. Rock hard bed and pillows 2. Poor heating and ventilation 3. Extractor fans on all... More

“Good budget hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2013

Good value - easy to get the bus into town. Did not try breakfast - looked a bit light on. Room small but functional. Free car parking excellent. Shower and toilet good. I would recommend for budget travellers.
