Very nice stay at Ashbys
Nice location near many restaurants but pretty quiet. Easy walk to beaches. Fairly big room with comfortable bed and sofa bed. Nice common area with billiards, air hockey, foosball, and video game console. The spa area seemed nice but was a tad too pricey for family use.

Amazing hidden gem.
Fantastic hotel!! Close to park, restaurants, cool coffee shops and bars. Hotel itself has a BYOB bar area with loads of amenities that are all free to use including pool table tennis and table football. Sky sports on a massive screen and a kitchen to keep your beer and wine chilled. We had a family room which was very spacious with a spotless ensuite bathroom. Room had tea and coffee and the lovely owners really make you feel very welcome. This boutique hotel is great for families and couples and for the money we could not fault it. We didn't have time to use the Spa but if it's anything like the rest of the hotel then I'm sure it would be special. This was our first time in Portsmouth and we wouldn't stay anywhere else if we return.

Appallingly bad bathroom
Unfortunately this was not the right fit for us. Our room was in the next building and we had to go through main hotel and into another house. The room was in the attic and the stairs were incredibly steep. I made sure I took everything I needed when left as I did not want to do the stairs again. The main problem really was the room as it was small, uncomfortable with low roof and the shower was awful. Pressure was bad and it just complete stopped running when my husband was in the shower,it was like a wet room and flooded the floor and no extractor fan .. No tea / coffee etc Maybe other rooms would be better , but we could not wait to leave.

What a find!
I only stayed for business, but what a find! It was such a nice environment; there was so much to do and see. Beautiful decoration, latest modern conveniences, clean and fresh, and a comfy bed. What more could you ask for? I will be recommending this place to anyone I know visiting Portsmouth :)

Terrific family accommodation.
We were pleasantly surprised with the standard and variety of facilities available to guests. There was a very warm welcome from the owners and the family accommodation was excellent and as described. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was very good. Little touches such as fresh coffee always available in the shared kitchen area, plus a range of activities such as table tennis, pool, air hockey, table football and card and board games, made it a great place for kids of all ages! We would definitely visit again should the need arise!

The room we had was very small - the bed took the most of it - it was not visible on the photos when we booked it. Also, it was not shown in the photos that the ceiling in the bathroom was sloping which proved to be difficult for my very tall boyfriend. Such details should be shown in the pictures to make a proper booking.

Welcoming, comfortable and fun!
Really enjoyed our stay at Ashbys. Steve and Mubi were warm, welcoming and helpful and the room and public spaces (lounge / games room, kitchen, bar area) were comfortable and well equipped. It was clear that a lot of thought has been given to making Ashbys a unique place to stay: welcoming, relaxing and fun. A great location too for the bars, seafront and Southsea attractions! Our bathroom window needed a blind - more for the neighbours than anything! - and the bedroom a second bedside table and lamp, but these were just minor gripes that didn't spoil our stay. We would definitely come back. Thank you.

Great check in experience - picked up the key from next door and given a detailed tour of the wide ranging facilities. The superior doublw was a large spacious room with a super king size bed provided a very comfortable night's sleep. Great shower although the shower room needs some TLC. Excellent value for money.
