Hotel Somerset House Boutique Hotel and Restaurant
10 Florence Road, Portsmouth, PO5 2NE, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
The location is close to the coast and the tourist type area! The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff were very friendly and helpful! During breakfast, I want to praise a staff member Chinyere, who was very polite, very busy but still delivered a great breakfast service!
United KingdomThe breakfast menu offers a wide choice of cooked items and this was cheerfully and quickly served. We liked the location as the street was quiet and the hotel was quite near a bus stop.
United KingdomRoom 7 Somerset House is a nice room on the ground floor with a large bathroom, excellent shower and a small dressing and storage area under the stairs. Excellent breakfast cooked to order and the gastro pub just down the road serves excellent food at reasonable prices. The bar is nice but the dining room is very utilitarian which is a shame because the staff work hard and service is very good but its difficult to generate much atmosphere. Proximity to Southsea front is very good with just a short walk. Parking is by residents permit on road and the roads are narrow and most spaces are utilised so it can be a problem at times, however, once again , the staff came to our rescue when there were no spaces and a kindly local gave us her space as she was going shopping.
United KingdomCleanliness was excellent. Windows that opened properly. Bed very comfortable. Good picture on the T.V. Quiet area. Keys worked properly. Restaurant excellent. Breakfast area, food and service excellent. Shower large.
