“A little tired but great”

Hoverferry, island rail and island buses all just over the road from the Esplanade hotel. The views from the Solent facing rooms are wonderful, Portsmouth lit up at night is something special. The hotel itself is a little tired but very comfortable. The room was spacious and clean. We will be returning again this year!

Thank you Chandra H for your review. We are extremely lucky with our position and the views over to portsmouth especially on a nice sunny day are wonderful. I look forward to seeing you again soon. Regards Jamie More
