We had a large quite room, absolutely clean. Both the dinner and the breakfast was superb and good value for money. This was the 4th time we stayed in the hotel and we would go back any time again.

눉There was a weird smell to the hotel but I guess that’s the old Victorian style .. the guy on reception wasn’t very polite and charged me again for the room even though I already paid with bookings.com ( that was being look into ) It was more like 2 stars than 3 but the best thing about it was the bed ! Very comfortable so got a couple of good night sleeps.
눇The bed was really comfortable and the location was good.

“A good base for non car visiting of various places such as Portsmouth, Isle of Wight and Chichester.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉The shower bracket threatened to fall off the wall (Room 16). The nature of the Bear is that it has an ancient inefficient plumbing system which takes ages for really hot water to come through. So you have had a perfectly good shower before the really very hot water comes out of the shower head. The problem then is that you have to bend down under the flow to seek to adjust the hot / cold mix, which isn't good. What is really needed is a small sum of investment to replace the hot cold tap system feeding the shower with a separate shower mixer system controlled from the wall clear of the water deluge.
눇Very good breakfast service. Winding stairways and creaky floors. Well placed for trains and buses and the Hayling Billy walking route.

눉Room was very dated, bathroom very old and could have been a lot cleaner. Breakfast was OK but not great ingredients, glad we didn't eat dinner there. Common areas and bar very dated. Not a great crowd in the bar. No lift, narrow stairs for luggage.
눇Bed was comfy but that was about it. Free parking.

눉The light fittings tv and headboard were loose and damaged. Bed was on wheels and moved when sat on. This led to viewing a very dirty floor under the bed. Also whilst breakfast was served 8am to 10am, we were greeted by a surly waitress at 9.30am. This said it was clear they were short staffed and were working very hard to serve everyone. In conclusion minor maintenance and cleaning issues did not spoil a great hotel. Maybe charge a bit more and employ more staff. It would make this a perfect hotel.
눇Lovely size rooms, well equipped. Fantastic breakfast and very good value for money.

눉Like B&B in the early 60's. Old bathroom fittings. Mould growth between the bath top and wall tiles. Room decoration is in need of attention as ceilings, carpet are stained. Poor lighting and room was exceptionally noisey from disco below. Only one small bar of soap and two small bottles of shampoo for two adults and one child.
눇The bed was ok. Parking arrangement was ok. Breakfast was ok although the muffin was not toasted properly with the eggs benediction.
