Honetsly during my stay, i noticed broken window which was completely taken off from the wall. I was trying to open it bit was already opened😅. Thank god i did not push it otherwise it could fallen out on the properties its back side through the windows.
The comfiest hotel bed I have slept on in a long while, spacious room (perfect for an overnight stay after a late night party), bathroom was spacious enough and had all the basic essentials needed. Would deffo stay again!

Staff-Excellent,
Spotlessly clean.
Very comfortable bed.
Location was perfect for our stay.
BUT.....
It was described as a "Deluxe" double room. (Room No.14)
- The room was very small. (Should be listed as a single room).
- Power for kettle and TV socket was supplied via a workmans extension lead.
- There was only one beside table.
- The only place to sit was on the bed.
- In the bathroom - no hot water from tap in hand basin.
- Parking on site was a challenge. Very difficult to maneuver.
We (my husband and I) were only there for a two night stay and what I have mentioned above will probably help the owners for their future guests.
The location was perfect for the event we were attending. What little we saw of Southsea, we loved and will definitely visit again to explore, but using other accommodation.
The hotel was decent. However it wasn't quite obvious to find and I would recommend getting sign put up on the building or outside. Also having more available parking for overnight stays!
Check in was haphazard ,we were informed 14.00 hrs but the employee when he arrived said it was15.00.the property was well kept but some of the other guests were very noisy slamming doors with no respect for other occupants
The apartment was clean and exactly what we was looking for as it was just a base for us to sleep and shower.
The staff are friendly, unfortunately parking is not free and is quite expensive and they say there is parking in the area, unfortunately southsea/Portsmouth is on the ball with parking and is mostly only available for locals with a parking permits.
If you like pubs,bars and restaurants you are in the right area as there are loads around.
Yes i would stay there again.

Property and facilities needs to be update. My family and I had issues with bedbugs bites. However the staff were polite and helpful.
