Less than 10 minutes’ walk from Clarence Pier in Portsmouth, this historically listed building is in Bellevue Terrace. There is free Wi-Fi throughout, and a full English breakfast is provided each morning.

The building is a lovely geogian town house so had steep staircases etc but was beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. We were in a top floor room at the back and as we booked only a couple of days earlier we were really pleased. It had loads of character and the bed was very comfortable so we slept well! The breakfast was delicious,well cooked and plentiful with home made delicious yoghourt. Rahul and his mum were very chatty and informative and with helpful suggestions as to where to visit. It is in a great position for exploring Portsmouth and on a whim we took the hovercraft to the Isle of Wight which leaves fom the beach next to Clarence Pier (a ten minute walk from the Pier)

    I recently enjoyed staying at this lovely and well-located B&B, which I highly recommend. The comfortable bed and beautifully designed room made my stay relaxing and enjoyable. What's more, Mia and Sony were fantastic and always willing to assist with any questions or requests I had. Thank you :) Overall, my experience was wonderful, and I would definitely consider staying at this B&B again.

    This was our second stay at this glamorous and stylish hotel. This time, we had the large ‘Glamorous’ room, which is a lovely design. The breakfast was also plentiful and delicious, and served with a smile. The location is fantastic for everything Southsea has to offer.

    A boutique hotel can be hard to pull off - there’s a line between boutique and tacky. the G doesn’t cross the line. it’s fun, funky, glitzy and quirky. lots of interesting features and a great little bar to relax in. The breakfast room is equally fabulous and the breakfast freshly made to order with lovely fresh coffee. The best value for money ever! the location is great for Southsea as well as Portsmouth, and all the staff I spoke to were really polite and friendly. definitely come again.

    This is a fabulous boutique hotel with bright, clean, beautiful, trendy rooms. The staff are exceptionally friendly and professional. We brought our miniature schnauzer with us who isn’t always brilliantly behaved but they could not have been lovelier on accommodating her and the food in the restaurant was excellent. Highly recommend for a classy relaxed get away.
