We enjoyed our couple of days here. The room was pleasant, the staff were welcoming and helpful and it was easy to park right outside. The bathroom was tiny though, I wouldn't like to have been staying there for a long time. There was no sign on the building which was a bit weird but we found where to check... More

We stayed at Somerset house on the 31st may as we were going to the T'pau concert at the kings theatre. We checked in at florence house just opposite and given a map of the area and a car parking permit for the street. We knew parking would be on the street as we had done our research before we...

On arrival to Southsea we had trouble finding Somerset House as there is no sign - very helpful! We then were surprised to find that the only parking available was on the street, with nothing reserved for hotel guests. Upon reaching the hotel we found a small laminated sign asking us to check-in across the road at their sister hotel.... More

Staff were really helpful. The location was central and excellent value for money. Would definately stay again. We needed to check in really early and the staff had our room cleaned and ready before 1200. The continental breakfast included was good.

We had lovely stay here and ate one night at "Number 4" a sister hotel. The rooms are all individually designed and ours was black and white. The bathroom was a bit small and storage space was limited, But very comfortable and clean. Good continental breakfast each day. The hotel is in Southsea near the front so very convenient.

Thank you to the staff at Somerset House for an outstanding contribution to hospitality in Portsmouth/Southsea. We stayed 1 night only and could find nothing to complain about; not even I, an avid watcher of 'four in a bed!' The room was delightful, breakfast was good and wholesome and my cousin wallowed for an hour and a half in his... More

My partner and I stayed in this hotel during the week for just one night. We stayed in the Superior Suite and we were both so pleased. The room was modern and bright, and everything was cleaned to a very high standard. There were complimentry L'Occitane products in the bathroom which I found a very nice touch. There is a... More

Spent 5 days here with my wife and 2 children last year. Had a family room (with very large bathroom), which was certainly "big enough". The reason we initially chose this hotel is that is located only a couple of minutes' walk from the sea, but in a quiet residential street that we found to be very quiet indeed. A... More
