One of our top picks in Portsmouth.Superbly located in Portsmouth’s lively waterfront development, Gunwharf Quays, this hotel offers bright, modern rooms with buffet breakfasts. Stores, bars and restaurants are on the hotel doorstep.

One lift was already out of order when I arrived on the Saturday but the second lift didn’t work properly either. The reception was on the 1st floor so had to carry all my luggage up to there and was placed in a room on the 3rd floor so 2 more flights to climb. All this was made harder as it has a spiral stair case which is quite steep and next to a large window. One member of my party suffers with a fear of heights so this made it very difficult for her.
I thought the breakfast was very good and the room it’s self.

It would be nice to have more than two sachets of coffee of proper coffee without asking for more. Bacon on both days over cooked, we do appreciate you are cooking for a lot of guests at once.

Food was poor (Breakfast), sausages & bacon burnt, eggs very dry when the staff had bothered to replenish what was missing, buffet was mainly empty. Juice machine(s) were broken, not even water was available, I had to ask staff for some & then told I had to request from the bar. ROOM 234 Bathroom was disgusting & towel was damp, bed was very uncomfortable and very "squeaky" Hair dryer connection kept falling off, under a 1/4 of a roll of toilet roll upon arrival with no spares. All in all a poor experience & would not return to this hotel
