I had a great stay at this hotel. The room was cozy and had everything I needed, though the visible bathroom window from the street and occasional noise from neighboring bedrooms were minor drawbacks. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, especially Bee and Sandra, going above and beyond to assist us. The location was perfect, just a stone's throw from the seafront, and the dining experience, though enjoyable, had room for improvement. Overall, it offered excellent value for money.

The hotel's location was great, just a short walk from restaurants and shops, though I wouldn't recommend room 7 specifically for older guests due to its position at the top of the staircase.

The hotel had off-street parking at the rear, perfect for walking access to the seafront, and offered everything we needed for a few days away.

The hotel was cozy and beautifully decorated, though the room was somewhat small with the bath right in the room. The service was apologetic, efficient, and delightful, always with a touch of wit. Its location was perfect, a short walk from the seafront and key shopping areas. The dining experience was satisfying, filling us up till dinner. Overall, a lovely Boutique hotel for a short stay, with some minor room size issues.

The hotel is located right on Southsea beach, offering a welcoming atmosphere and easy access to nearby attractions. The rooms are cozy, though being in the basement might not suit everyone. The service is excellent, and the dining experience is delicious, but the long walk to Portsmouth might be a drawback for some.
Rooms

The room, although small and hot being in the basement, was surprisingly comfy for a single room. It might need leaving windows open at night to cool down.
