Everything about the stay was amazing, from the massive bed. Which was really comfy and room really spacious. To the amazing owners and the added areas to relax.

Steve and Mubi were wonderful and extremely accommodating. The rooms were excellent and clean. The location was also perfect with everything within walking distance. The only request I would make would be for a safe in our room. Just for our passports. I cannot say enough how our stay was enhanced by how wonderful Steve and Mubi were. They made our stay memorable and excellent.
Great stay in this really well-located property. Had everything I needed, very well-equipped. Great breakfast options round the corner too. Many thanks.
Our room was very comfortable and clean with everything we needed. Our greeting on arrival was friendly and helpful, settling us in quickly and efficiently. Ashbys was the perfect place for us to stay for our short time in Portsmouth. Ideally located close to some great places to eat and easily walkable to Gunwharf Quay.
The host (Mimi) was very welcoming and showed us round, she clearly takes pride in her hotel and the facilities were great. The rooms are unique and very nice.
Some early issues were overcome with professsionalism and a real care to go above and beyond. Some of the best after care service I’ve received. Will definitely be back next year, if not before

Super welcome by hosts. Room very comfortable and very clean bathroom and shower couldn’t be better. Hotel amenities superb. Will certainly return.
Staff was friendly, rooms were large and stocked with everything we could possibly need for a 1 night stay. Our host gave us a quick tour, and took time to provide information and answer questions. Truly enjoyed the comfort that was provided, the easy food options just down the road.
A lovely, clean and friendly place to stay. Rooms are fabulous, ours was quite spacious especially the bathroom. The bed huge!
Location is great, very quiet at night despite being near restaurants and bars.
