Great find!

The price attracted us and we didn't know what to expect. Staff were very helpful and the hotel had parking which was very helpful. Right near the beach. We will be back, a great find!

We stayed in the Deluxe Room with ensuite bathroom. The room was a decent size and the bathroom was small but functional. Great shower/bath, very good water pressure and temperature. Cleanliness was good overall. Check in waa easy and we were able to leave our bags at reception after check-out time. Free tea, coffee, sugar and milk pods. There is a fridge you can store food plus a vending machine on site. The location is perfect, close to shops, bus stop, restaurants and the Southsea Pier. Downsides: bed was squeaky, curtains were super thin. The room was incredibly bright early morning, therefore bring a sleeping mask with you. We could hear a everything going on around the room and it was difficult to sleep in the morning. Bring some earplugs with you for a quiet sleep.

Receptionist area is not manned on a regular or scheduled basis.Although I think receptionist should be there from check in at 2pm up till 11pm as was indicated by hotel,the area was either closed or no1 inside regularly during those hours and even check out hours at 11 am no one was there.I didnt like that at all.Cant be running a hotel and someone isnt around to be called upon.

The day before my arrival I was contacted by the hotel to organise the check-in time, very nice of them. The hotel is very close to the beach and to other services like restaurants, pubs and supermarkets.

Wouldn't stay again

Tiny tiny room, barely 7ft x 7ft. No kettle in room. Had to go downstairs to shared kitchen area. No ensuite bathroom, again downstairs to toilet and shower room. They were very clean but with mobility issues it was hard work. Parking is ltd to around 5 spaces then you pay for a pass to street park in surrounding streets. but again hard to find a space. Expensive for such a tiny room, door nearly touched the bed when you opened it.
