Looks incredible in photos

I bought a luxury room with a bath. When I turned up the receptionist gave me a key card and told me my room was on the second floor. No mention of what side of the second floor. When I did get in, the room looked incredible. The bathroom was up some stairs. It was a really cold night when I stayed and unfortunately the bath didn’t have hot water so my bath didn’t happen, then as I stayed I saw things that clearly needed attention. The wall heater literally gave heat for 10 mins then auto turned off. The hot water issue and when I went to bed, the near side of bed had a huge dip in it. Some people may like that but it was difficult to turn over when in the dip itself. In photos it looks incredible and I’m disappointed not angry. When I mentioned these things at reception at check out I was told that I could have had these things fixed there and then so I will clearly take responsibility for not doing this.

Great hotel and stay.

Fantastic room, lovely breakfast, but busy waiting staff so the wait was longer than we would usually expect. One personal criticism was the pillows were too full and too firm and no choice to swap them.

Lovely stay, superb hotel

The decor was lovely, we stayed in an old victorian house converted to rooms, imaculate. The Mecure msin hotel was about a minute away and we hsd breakfast in the patio garden. Beautifully kept and breakfadt was lovely. Mashed advocado with tomato and poached eggs.

Beautiful Portsmouth gem

Was here for one night to see a gig at a nearby music venue. The minute I was dropped off by my Uber and I saw the hotel I fell in love. I went to reception to check in the gal was absolutely friendly, accommodating and professional. As I opened the door to the Edwardian hotel I knew I was in for a treat. The entire premises were immaculate. Very cute boutique hotel. the minute I got settled in my room I FaceTimed my mom who was in LA to show her the beautiful room. 100000% will stay here again.

Very unclean and uncomfortable

Arrived 24.9.2019 and shown to a very small room with shower , after looking at the pillow cases on the bed we found that the cases were very soiled and after further investigation the mattress was heavily stained we could not sleep on a bed that was unhygenic. We then requested another room. Which was up a further two flights of stairs but only had a bathroom , not a shower , this was acceptable. Although the bath had to be cleaned by the person showing us the room before we could use it . this room was ok although the bed was very uncomfortable and room was very dusty. The food / breakfast was ok. In all of this time not one apology was given for the inconvenience that we had to endure . on day that we left all the waitress was concerned about was the return of the parking permit. Still no apology. Would not reccomend this B&B ( because that is all it is ) and i am amazed how many people rate this B&B as good. Will definately never go back there again
