Probable bed bugs
Immediately after leaving I developed multiple bug bites which can only have come from bed bugs or similar -- otherwise OK for the price.

Rubbish
This is not a hotel it’s more like a hostel the rooms are small the beds are small with only one bedside cabinet my wife couldn’t even wash her hair as there was no hair dryer the door entry system is awful with a code and not much light to see it late at night the only good thing is the location I would never stay there again and I think hotels.com need to go and see the place

Could be better.
The bed was very hard and squeaky however the bedding was clean apart from one small mark on one pilow. The towels were lovely and clean and soft. The bathroom had a dampish odour. Needs a little TLC.

Good location, basic but functional
Fantastic location, close to the beach and some nice small cafes/restaurants. Super set up with fridges and a small kitchenette. Clean and modern. Beds were very hard. Curtains did not block any light out so we were awake from 04.30. Apart from that a super stay.

Southsea does rock.
Nice, clean basic hotel. Staff helpful, facilities okay, if you are prepared to share a bathroom. Not sure how the dining room was meant to work. TV had intermittent breaks in viewing and limited channels. Good location close to the beach, pier, local Co-op and the bus passed by quite close. Southsea is a very nice vibrant town. Glad I went.

Clean and basic
Hotel is clean, tidy and basic. Kitchen is for all hotel stayers so there is no kettle in your room. It's located in a fantastic place right by the seafront. Staff are friendly and helpful. Just remember your photo id when checking in.
