We stayed one night at the beautiful little hotel. Our room although not large was perfect. Bathroom was good, nice hit water. The staff were lovely. There were a few restaurants and pubs close by if you didn't want to eat at the hotel. Would definitely stay again.

You just walk into the Queens hotel and know its going to be a great place to stay. Friendly staff welcome you and the rooms are well laid out, sumptious beds, all the in room facilities you could want including ironing boards, hair dryers etc. The food here is fantastic as well and what with a great outlook close to the beach what's not to like about the Queens hotel

Reception staff were very helpful. Rooms were very comfortable and well equipped but can be slightly noisy because of creaking floor boards in the rooms above. For dinner, booking in advance is advisable even if the restaurant is not full as staff do not appear to expect walk ins, although after the initial surprise created by a walk in the service was fine.

Generally good with minor gripe.
Good hotel in nice location to see Southsea and Portsmouth. Evening meal was pricey though breakfast made up for it and was of good quality. Only minor gripe was that you'd need to be a stick insect to use the toilet in the bedroom comfortably as it was so close to the wall and the toilet roll holder too low. Even with windows open the steam extraction from shower was poor.

Not what we were hoping for
Disappointed. We’d stayed here before and enjoyed our stay so decided to come back. The room we got this time was totally different. Night and day. Small, TV on the side, not on a flexible arm. Small bathroom, shower water pressure weak. All in all disappointed given the high price.

The hotel looks really good though out including our lovely room with a sea view. The staff were very friendly although there was no one there to carry your bags up a very imposing set of front steps. The restaurant was a bit of a let down as for some reason the music that was chosen to play was jazz which really did not match the beautiful surroundings and they played it in the evening as well as the morning, I thought it was me but I heard other customers complain about the noise. But it's not all bad, my solution was not to use the restaurant again and by that I found some really good places that are local with great aesthetics especially in the music department and great food
