Great location across the street from the transportation hub and just a few minutes walk from the naval yard and a large, upscale shopping mall. Bar and restaurant in the facility, too, though there are several other great places to eat and drink steps from the hotel Breakfast was quite good, too, and the staff very friendly and helpful.

I would book direct next time with the hotel and not via booking . com

Brian United States of America

All staff were fantastic. Two Phone message from friends (as our overseas phone didn't work in England) were not passed on to us, even when I asked at the desk. This would be the only thing I think needs some review with staff.

The breakfast was very nice, and the location is perfect for a trip to Gunwharf Quays, and Portsmouth's many attractions, there was parking right next to the hotel, and the views from our room of Spinnaker Tower and one of the old ships in docks was great.
