The rooms have no sound isolation at all. We could hear absolutely everything happening in the rooms next to us and the hall. Besides that, basic rooms, clean but old.

Room 19.

We got the 'infamous' shed, but it wasn't that bad at all, actually I prefered it that way! No neighbours, can run out for a smoke and no need to be antsy whilst trying to get to your room. BUT despite the opened window it smelled damp, luckily not mouldy, and the bathroom door needs to be changed ASAP- the next morning you couldn't even close the door as it was warped so bad and then my partner closed it from the outside and we couldn't get it back open- my phone and watch were in there after a shower! Luckily managed to open it by using keys to wedge it out and were running short on time to inform the staff at that moment. Also be prepared for, as we call it, the portsmouth famous sinks- slim rectangles :D The shower is a bit confusing so you have to stand in cold water until you figure it out. And the noise is unavoidable by people taking bins out and the window being open, so prepare some earplugs beforehand.👍 Also some old coffee stains (i hope) on walls that desperately need a fresh coat of paint. The staff were lovely though, I enjoyed it, especially when you can pay £5 for a late check out which was sorely needed xx, oh and parking- never figured it out but we parked down the street in Grand Parade carpark, it cost around £16 per day but it was quite nearby anyways. Oh and the bed was nice too, you get whole 4 pillows which I'm so grateful about!

Tiny.

£95 for a tiny room ok it was a Saturday night but I would have been disappointed to pay £30. So small I could touch both walls with my arms outstretched. Shower and toilet room was tint as well. Not really a hotel more a place with rooms. Good location and staff were nice but could not recommend.

Small stuffy rooms with no A/C and the owner can't spring for even a moderate fan. The bathroom and shower are shared. The owner can't spring to even fix the shower head which becomes a factor when one is trying to be as quick as possible in a bathroom shared with guests from 5 other rooms. Spend 20 pounds and fix the shower at least.

Perfect for purpose.

Perfect for purpose, friendly receptionist. Clean and comfortable. Could do with black out blinds on sky window and staircase window. Fan was a saviour in the heat.

Disturbed sleep

The location is great. The insulation is very poor, i could hear the neighbours room the noise from the TV. The mattress is terrible, needs replacing as it was a little lumpy and bump so I couldn't get a good night's sleep for 3 days. The room was ok, the bathroom was very small just enough room for a shower and a toilet. It is walkable distance to the main historical area, the defence walls, the beautifu houses and the pubs on Spice Island so that was a bonus.

This is a very basic budget hotel, only thing that was a challenge was the small staircase getting to the room on the 3rd floor, apart from that nice staff, clean rooms

Basic room

A very average stay. Room is in an annexe behind the main hotel. Ground floor. Very noisy floorboards above. Room was small and a bit grubby. Ants in the kettle so didn’t bother with a cup of tea. Shower overflowed if used for more than a few minutes. Staff were charming. Pretty cheap for the area.
