Smoking in rooms.

We couldn't stay - the room absolutely stunk of cigarettes. The lady on reception agreed with us that the smell of smoke was very strong, even in the corridors. She told us that the people who were in the room the night before had put a sock over the fire alarm and were smokong. A member of staff had gone to tell them to stop. We managed to book another hotel for the night. We have been refused a refund, which I am so angry about. I always make sure I book non-smokkng rooms as my husband has asthma. We were offered another room but the place just stunk.

The room had two sets of bunk beds which was enough for 4 people if you are young and agile. However we made it work. If the steps to top bunk were padded it would be helpful.The bathroom was shared and down the hall. Again, not convient for retired people. Otherwise not bad for the price.

A great place to stay!

Had an over night stay before we went on holiday. A lovely location, just 2 minutes from the beach. Guy Tony on reception was really helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Room was clean but with drink spill stains on walls and plaster missing by one light switch despite website saying recently redecorated. (Maybe it was still ongoing). Pillows could do with replacing as they were flat with no extras to boost height. Walked a lot in the local area & visited Dockyard & museums which were close by. It was a base for a quick getaway weekend. Loads of places to eat nearby. Would consider staying there again if we were going to that area. Was good for the money paid.

Good value & great location

We had the room with a private shower room which was nice and clean. Hotel was conveniently located with very helpful staff. The recommended pub for dinner was amazing. Sadly a rugby team were staying that night and were so disruptive and loud at 2am!!!

Roomy & clean family room

We were in a family room which had a double bed & bunk beds and our own bathroom. Room was very clean. Had a message night before asking if we knew a rough time we would like to check in, this was a nice touch.

We were lucky to get this double room on the weekend of Victorious festival and the room and amenities were clean. However the bathroom on the top floor that is one shared between 5 rooms didn't have toilet roll by 5am and wasn't refilled by 9am and the shower gel had run out. So I would recommend this hotel if you bring your own toilet roll, shower gel and flip flops for the bathroom. The staff on reception were friendly and kept in touch. We purchased a £2.50 permit but still couldn't park due to the festival so had to drop off bags and park further in to southsea - final thoughts, it did the job and served its purpose.

We stayed in the Deluxe Room with ensuite bathroom. The room was a decent size and the bathroom was small but functional. Great shower/bath, very good water pressure and temperature. Cleanliness was good overall. Check in waa easy and we were able to leave our bags at reception after check-out time. Free tea, coffee, sugar and milk pods. There is a fridge you can store food plus a vending machine on site. The location is perfect, close to shops, bus stop, restaurants and the Southsea Pier. Downsides: bed was squeaky, curtains were super thin. The room was incredibly bright early morning, therefore bring a sleeping mask with you. We could hear a everything going on around the room and it was difficult to sleep in the morning. Bring some earplugs with you for a quiet sleep.

Receptionist area is not manned on a regular or scheduled basis.Although I think receptionist should be there from check in at 2pm up till 11pm as was indicated by hotel,the area was either closed or no1 inside regularly during those hours and even check out hours at 11 am no one was there.I didnt like that at all.Cant be running a hotel and someone isnt around to be called upon.
