Very comfortable room with very large bathroom. Not much storage for two women for nearly a week but we managed. Bar area was dark and not very inviting, but all hotel was kept very clean. Excellent location for Gunwharf Quays, Dockyard and all transport links. Overall a good stay

staff were friendly and helpful. great restaurant, with sushi! fantastic location for ferry trip early next morning. The only negatives were it was noisy - there was a wedding going on and the music was loud, and the sound of the trains nearby was also v loud; and the carpet was quite stained. But great place to stay before catching the ferry and as the start of our holiday!

Perfect for a history buff seeing Portsmouth
This property has many mixed reviews but do not be afraid to stay here. It is in a very convenient location if you are traveling by train, our room was comfortable with good climate control, clean towels and bedding and a clean (if cozy) bathroom. The breakfast was fine and we enjoyed the bar and dinner in the evening. There was a very adequate English menu as well as wonderful Japanese cuisine. We were very impressed with the friendliness of the staff, the good service and the price. It is a very old building, but if you like history you will have a fine stay.

We weren’t fans. As two friends travelling together the size of the ‘double bed’ was quite a shock (it’s quite small). We also gave up on washing hair due to very low water pressure. For us the place just didn’t sit right.

Very noisy room.
Given a room above kitchen. Fridge motor on and off all night. Kitchen fans under my room on noisily at 6.30 p m. Asked on check in if my room above kitchen, was told only 'it was at the back of the building'. I do not expect luxury suite as single traveller, but room has been a disappointing exsperience. Will not stay here again.
