We took advantage of the discounts offered for our evening meals in restaurants in the Gunwharf Quay. The breakfast in the hotel restaurant was excellent quality and value for money The hotel was ideally suited for access to the Naval Dockyard as well as shopping and cinemas. The hotel parking arrangements were also excellent being free for the 1st 24 hours and £2/day thereafter

David

The location is fantastic for all Gunwharf Quays shopping and restaurants. The parking is underground and so easy to shop and return to the car to drop bags off, instead of lugging them to the room and back out again ! - Staff are friendly and helpful.

No response to two emails sent prior to stay. Really uncomfortable bed. No tables acailbles at breakfast. People were eating breakfast everywhere - at the bar, in the seating only area . It was bedlam.
Staff were clearly stretched but all apologised for the things that were not up to expected standards.

Good, satisfying breakfast to start a day of sightseeing with choice. Location was excellent - in the centre of things in Gunwharf Quays - the Historic Dockyards (my purpose in going to Portsmouth). masses of shops and a range of eateries.
