    No heating, stayed from Saturday night till Sunday morning, heating didn’t come on , we asked two different people on reception, one said it was coming on at 7 at night…. It didn’t…. Not once during our stay. Room was cold! . Also no lift in hotel and our room had four sets of stairs, would have benefited a lift.

    Clean , good location, nice room

    Too many stairs no lift but view was worth it. Some fixtures were slightly coming away from wall but nothing that can't be fixed

    We loved the tranquil atmosphere, clean room, view was amazing. Staff very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Bed was super comfy. Warm room

    The toilet seat was a little unstable and difficult to flush.

    We did not take advantage of the breakfast option, but it was only 3 minutes around the corner in a local restaurant if we had. The room was very clean and the staff very welcoming and pleasant.

    Having no lift and being on the 3rd floor was a bit tricky for us old folk. Having no breakfast facility is quite strange for a hotel these days.

    The view was amazing looking out over the Solent towards the island. The room was very dark with the good curtains closed, great for sleeping.

    Nothing, all good.

    Comfortable, good value, good location for the festival I was attending. Friendly receptionist. You can buy a voucher for breakfast at the nearly Farm Kitchen cafe which has a good range of choices including vegetarian and vegan. You get a breakfast and hot drink which gives you about £1.50 discount.

    Wi fi wasn’t working, would have been helpful to be told this at check in, we spent some time trying to get online. Kettle didn’t work but was replaced. Wanted to buy breakfast voucher in the morning but reception not staffed. A better choice of teas in the room would be good. Plastic hangers let down the quality of the room, described as Boutique but it had more of a commercial feel to it

    Great location, clean rooms

    Location is brilliant. Right on Southsea, common and coast for walking, sights, museums, etc, then Palmerston Road right next door for lovely shops, pubs, restaurants. Room was clean and very comfortable, had everything I needed. Was very quiet in the room too, didn't hear any of the other guests. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom a bit tight but completely fine, shower was great. Staff were very friendly and very helpful. Love the taxi button, if you need to travel early very easy to get a taxi.
