The hotel is ideally located right across from the beach with a seaside view, making it perfect for a relaxed getaway. However, the room I stayed in was a bit of a letdown with noticeable dampness, mold, and dated decor. The service was a mix of unprofessional conduct but also helpful and accommodating staff. Despite the shortcomings, the location offers easy access to all the tourist attractions in Portsmouth.

The room I stayed in had a fantastic amount of space and a lovely view of the sea. However, it was evident that the room was not well-maintained, with mold and grime present, giving it a sad and dated appearance.

I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, and I had a fantastic view of the sea from a huge bay window. Although the rooms needed a bit of refurbishment, I slept incredibly well and appreciated not overlooking a car park or fire escape but rather the beautiful South Downs and rooftops toward Fratton Park.

The staff was extremely friendly and courteous, providing great assistance. The onsite parking was very convenient. The only suggestion would be to paint the brown wooden shutters with white paint for a more appealing look.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great views and disappointing room conditions. The sea view room was amazing to watch ships, but the presence of bed bugs was a letdown. The service was attentive and professional, ensuring a pleasant experience. The location was perfect for exploring Portsmouth old town, although the room's condition was not ideal.

The sea view room was amazing to watch all the ships coming in and out of Portsmouth and Southampton, but it was infested with bed bugs which was hugely disappointing.
