Wonderful stay
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The receptionist was incredibly helpful and friendly, going above and beyond to make my visit comfortable. They even offered me a free late check-out, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The service was top-notch, and I truly appreciated the warm and accommodating attitude of the staff. Highly recommend staying here!

There were a few hairs in the double bed however no big issues as the sheet was clean.
I was a bit cold and asked for another blanket. Staff were quick to respond. House keeping staff very helpful and the dining room staff very friendly.

Highly recommended
I booked a twin room with a view of the Spinnaker, for a friend who had never visited Southsea. We arrived after dark, and immediately opened the drapes to reveal a wonderful lit up Spinnaker.
The booking in process (on the first floor) had been easy. All areas including the corridors are clean. The twin room was very clean, the bathroom was also clean. Breakfast was served 6.30 - 9.30am and is quite adequate.
Parking is in the Gunwharf Quays shopping complex underground parking lot. The hotel staff will validate the parking ticket, so that parking is free.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel, and I hope to stay again very soon.
