Good clean budget hotel we thought we'd booked an ensuite but it was ok as there was no one else sharing the shower toom. Definitely stay again but have en suite.

Very pleasant budget hotel. Parking was available but limited. Decent little hotel. A short walk to the scenic promenade. Emily on reception was brilliant and very helpful!
Only minor negative would be lack of blackout curtains.
Overall a great place to stay at a decent price!

Tiny tiny room, barely 7ft x 7ft. No kettle in room. Had to go downstairs to shared kitchen area. No ensuite bathroom, again downstairs to toilet and shower room. They were very clean but with mobility issues it was hard work.
Parking is ltd to around 5 spaces then you pay for a pass to street park in surrounding streets. but again hard to find a space. Expensive for such a tiny room, door nearly touched the bed when you opened it.

Lovely hotel would definitely return. Everything was clean and well looked after. The staff were very helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Close to Gunwharf shopping centre and right on the beachfront! Excellent stay :)

It’s a stretch to call it a hotel. One kettle for the full building. The room had damp patches on the roof, was unbearably hot and was one floor down/up from the closest bathroom.
Bathrooms themselves had mould in the shower sealant, and no shower gel in the dispenser.
Booked for two nights, left after 1.

You need to be a heavy sleeper as the walls are thin. Bathroom, although shared, was clean. Staff were helpful and I was glad that parking was available. Kitchen facilities were basic so come prepared with your dishes, although a fridge is provided. The area itself doesn't offer much for the tourist but there is an award-winning beach nearby where the water quality means that it's not recommended for swimming at.

This is very basic hostel - not really right to call it a hotel. It's shared bathrooms and the nearest one had a massive hole in the floor of the shower. The rooms had broken lockers in, contributing to the hostel vibe. It's was ok for the price but the most off-putting thing was the smell. The room smelled like smelly feet when we arrived and the whole place stank of sewage for most of the time we were there. It didn't feel healthy, esp as we were with young kids. Sound also travelled very easily. The host was friendly and welcoming but not around to feed back to on checkout.

Lined clean and bed comfortable but room could do with a deep clean, especially the light fitting. Bathroom sink is so small as to be useless except for handwashing and as the porcelain suface is damaged should really be replaced for health reasons. Overall what one expects from a 2 star hotel.

Lovely hotel with a great warm welcome by very friendly and helpful staff. Very deceiving as bigger inside than you would think. Other guests seemed to be very polite and respectful. Room had everything I needed including a lovely bed that delivered an excellent nights sleep. Very easy and simple check in and check out process. Bathrooms and shared spaces were immaculate. In a great location too being so close the the seafront and plenty of places to pick from to eat out. Will certainly be returning. Thank you Southsea Rocks for an excellent service and delightful hotel.
