We were lucky to get this double room on the weekend of Victorious festival and the room and amenities were clean. However the bathroom on the top floor that is one shared between 5 rooms didn't have toilet roll by 5am and wasn't refilled by 9am and the shower gel had run out. So I would recommend this hotel if you bring your own toilet roll, shower gel and flip flops for the bathroom. The staff on reception were friendly and kept in touch. We purchased a £2.50 permit but still couldn't park due to the festival so had to drop off bags and park further in to southsea - final thoughts, it did the job and served its purpose.

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.
