Perfect location for a stay close to family who live in Southsea. Everything we needed, including a bar to relax for an hour before bed. Free coffee and water in reception was awesome. All amenities on the doorstep in a wonderful safe environment. I would stay here every time.

Easy walk from The Hard interchange bus station. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. A great pre-cruise hotel in Portsmouth. Also, on cruise day there are plenty of taxis at The Hard, no need to book a rideshare.

Overnight stay. Friendly welcome. Room ok, but evidence that cleaning was rushed (some marks on surfaces), wine stain on carpet, sink cracked. Good breakfast and car parking options.
