    Real trouble at times using electronic key card. No kettle but I knew it was a budget hotel.

    Good location with proximity to all amenities. Easy walking distance city centre with transport links. Clean. Great value for short stay.

    There are only a dozen or so parking spaces on the side, 2 on the front along with 3 charging spaces, all marked “ Hotel “ I parked in a space opposite the charging spaces. Checking in, the chap asked me where I parked, ah he said, thats not one of our spaces, all ours are full, you’ll need to move. Had I left it where it was more than 30mins I would have got a £100 fine. The hotel has overspill spaces in B&Q’s car park but you must register your car in the Ibis reception - this was explained by another guest not the Ibis receptionist who checked me in.

    Location is super for those using the ferries and for shopping. The rooms are basic but acceptable with a soft bed and nice linen. They hotel has one issue that caused me to cancel a planned future booking, read negative comment below

    There was no means of making tea or coffee. We'd booked a double room but were allocated a triple which meant that we had a bunk bed above our double bed...a bit claustrophobic. There was little space to put anything down or unpack your bag onto. It's fine for a one night stay, but I wouldn't have wanted to stay longer.

    The staff were friendly and welcoming. The hotel is in a convenient location for our purposes. There was ample parking and the room was an attractive price.

    Not much of a carpark front of the hotel. The overflow is far especially because it rained. The corridor was busy and noisy at night every door shut you can hear.

    The location was good.

    The room was a little hot at night and the aircon in the room didn't bring down the temperature.

    The hotel was well located, within a reasonable walking distance of the shoreline and handy for the railway link into Portsmouth harbour.

    Our room was extremely warm, unable to open the window any more than 2 inches. No tea & coffee making in the room, its not until its not there you realise how nice it is to have. Breakfast wasn't appealing at all and the location is very built up near a main road but for 1 night it was more than sufficient

    Very friendly staff, dog friendly, clean and free parking...albeit in a different place to the hotel.

    The room is very small. We have a toddler and stayed there for 10 days, so a bit more storage was required. It is a great hotel for anyone who is just passing through or light travellers.

    The staff were extremely helpful in every aspect, especially TINA who was super efficient and always ready to answer any questions. The location of the hotel is superb. Close to both the city centre and to the harbour.

    The shower room door designed to have gaps at top and bottom allowing water splashed out. The floor become wet. Basin sink also slightly leak. No hair dryer. But we still believe the hotel and room is basically satfisfactory.

    The room is comfortable and clean. With bunk bed, it could hold 3 pax. Overall setting reflects to be a budget hotel. All staff team are helpful and nice. Free carpark. The canteen have microwave oven. Tesco Extra superstore just 1 minutes walk from the premises. As per the staff advice, we did buy frozen meal from Tesco as our dinner in the canteen (we arrive after 21:00). KFC, Subway just across the street.
