This hotel was a pleasant experience for me and my grandson. The staff were friendly with us and always happy to help us if we needed it. Our room was set up nicely for when we first arrived at the hotel, and we can’t thank the staff enough for their efforts during our stay at the hotel. The food there was nice, and was quick and easy to get. The surrounding shops in Gunwharf Quays provided things for us to do during the day, and even if we did get bored of that, there were other things to do. I would definitely recommend this hotel if anyone were to stay in Portsmouth for a short while.

Wheelchair friendly and great location

Great location. Lovely wheelchair accessible room. Only one small hanging area with a tiny shelf for clothes. Could have used a small drawer unit for clothes as plenty of room. Otherwise lots of room to turn and move about. Staff really friendly and helpful. We will be coming back here at some point in the future.

The perfect location for the gunwharf shopping

My good friend and I went this shopping trip together. This hotel is the perfect location for the gunwharf shopping center. We are able to drop stuff back to hotel easily then keep shopping. Also the Quay Card is a good extra for the savings.

The rooms are a little worn and dated, but clean and serves well as a base to have a couple of days shopping. Situated right in the middle of Gunwharf Quays it is perfect to shop all day, drop purchases back to the room, shower and go out for a meal in one of the many nearby restaurants. Breakfast is really good, excellent variety of hot and cold options.
