    My only negative would be the choice of only Grapefruit or Melon in the fridge for breakfast fruits and Bananas otherwise.

    The property was clean and tidy and the staff were friendly, especially the breakfast waitress and afternoon reception staff. Rooms cleaned daily to a good standard. Breakfast good. Excellent proximity to Historical Dockyard and the Gun Wharf Quay. Would definitely return.

    A happy return to the city of my birth (rather a long time ago!)

    For the money and in this location there was almost nothing to dislike. A constructive suggestion, however, is that it would have been great to have a tray or shelf in the shower. There's only so much one can balance on a tap!

    I love the location and the general feel of the property. It's very clean, the staff are pleasant and the included breakfast is a definite bonus. The ensuite shower room was spacious, spotless and even has a bidet. I didn't expect that! Given my age, I'm always happy to discover there's a lift. I love the fact that one can still open windows here. Other providers please take note...

    As above, a few niggles, but we actually really liked the room, the hotel and staff. The area, availability of local shops, restaurants and attractions.

    Please understand this is not a negetive, but a true factual reflection on the weekend. Overal a possitive. Room 24 : The view was amazing, overlooking the HMS Warrior in the dockyard, the harbour and also overseeing the spinnaker tower. Especially beautiful at night! Experienced some damage to the room from previous clientel clearly built up over time, which always mind boggles me how people can do this without a second thought. Iron burn patch in the carpet by the bed, a few purple staines centre if the room, toilet door handle (inside the toilet/bathroom) hanging on by a few screw threads. One of the chairs is split on the back cushion. Paint on furniture chipped and worn. Various cracks in the walls, window lock screws half torn out (old wooden windows). Massive bed, however, it has quite a thin mattress, which is a little hard and worn. It took a while to get used to it, woke feeling achey. A mattress topper would work. TV old and outdated, do not take a memory stick to play films, it wont work. Other than that, decor was nice, huge room, facilities nice, concept nice, staff lovely, but needs some TLC in the room. Main Hotel : Reception area beautiful, dinning area beautiful. The building itself is of age, and looks beautiful. Great placement for doing everything you could ever want. Spinnaker tower, Portsmouth Dockyards, Gunwharf Quays Shopping Centre, Cinema, Bowling etc all a stones throw away. Restaurants and pubs everywhere. Please note, weekends are loud outside, drinkers everywhere, and train station just across the road, so you will hear trains braking and coming in, Manager was a lovely guy. One of the workers there, lovely gentleman who works the shift after the Manager, amazing guy, very friendly and helpful. One of the most genuine people I have met in a long time. Breakfast was ok, a good variation of English Cooked Breaky, and Continental Breaky. GREAT chinese restaurant just down the road, opposite the Gunwharf Keys Entrance.

    Small touches were missing, like no tissues, no place to put hand towels near the hand basins, the tile floor in the large bathroom was extremely slippery with wet feet so needed more than the bath mat on the floor.

    Expansive suite with comfortable bed, huge bath, shower etc. Wonderful view over the harbor. Breakfast choices were suitable, well cooked, and promptly served.

    It was clean and tidy and very handy just a short walk from Harbour Station. I was there for a reunion of RN shipmates so was in walking distance of dockyard and other places we visited.

    Great location, very, very disappointing breakfast
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple

    The breakfast was a disappointment. The first day the scrambled eggs were dry, as they didn't use enough milk, or maybe they were overcooked. Worst of all, the fried bread had clearly been deep fried and it was just like biting into a sponge that was sodden with oil. I didn't like the bacon, so they offered me more (go figure) - I said I couldn't eat what I did have and why on earth would I want more! The tomatoes were tinned. And it all came with a choice of instant coffee or tea. Of course, I had the tea, but it meant my holiday got off to a really bad start, as fresh coffee and a good breakfast are the most important things before a long day of sightseeing. This is not a cheap place to stay and I think I had every right to expect a decent breakfast for my money. I certainly won't stay there again when I return to see more of the dockyard.

    Perfect location - I think it's the nearest hotel to the Dockyard. It's also near one of the train stations. Plenty of restaurants nearby, but we ate in The Greene King pub which was practically next door. It was very clean too.
