Room was a little tired. Bathroom could do with update although it was clean.

lovely breakfast with plenty of choice. Friendly Staff.

Our room had only 2 mains sockets but 3 or 4? bt sockets. Of the mains electrical plugs, one was a double and the single one had the t.v permenantly(?) plugged in- shouldn't that have its own spur. The one double socket was used for the nice sized new kettle, allowing the other half of the socket for one for a charger, and laptops. But no low voltage lights or chargers were by or near the bedside cabinets for use in the evening. Where a phone charger could have been placed. In the room there was a desk, but no folding or movable table to use under the window - if we wanted to eat in the room, which was quite warm comfortable and had a nice east prospect with average view.. one desk chair fine; and one comfortable lounge chair. Which meant my wife and I then had to choose who sat on it, or at the desk, or on the rather hard but very comfortable high bed. The addition of a folding suitcase stand, would also mean we don't have to put luggage on the bed either. The bathroom could have easily been upgraded by putting in three or four items items. One - an adjustable shower head in situ, as the pressure and heat where excellent but the spray more water cannon than sprinkler. Two, a Handrail on the wall to assist getting in the high sided bath more safely. Three, a few more hooks on the wall, especially to hang your towel near the shower. Fouth, a stool or folding seat on the wall to allow you to be seated when drying yourself down. Once again, the Bathroom facilities were in good condition but not new, but quite adequate for business visitors. Lastly, one to note- we were not young and not infirm - but being an old coaching type there is no lift. Luckily staying one night we had very little luggage, and we are relatively mobile. The stairs up to the top third floor are original, and not "British standard Elizabethan" - fine, but if you were asthmatic, access impaired or wonky on your pins, you might not like the climb up and down each time.

The staff were wonderful, the room adequate but in need of a few items- see below.. The overall condition and decor was fine but felt commercial. Parking was free, and the hotel placed quietly but central with lots of period atmosphere. The breakfast was very good value, and served by very helpful staff. Overall good value, and well placed in town or as a base for the Portsmouth / Gosport / Hayling Island area.

Nothing to say here.

Always a pleasure to stay here. Free parking is a good bonus in this area, the room met my needs perfectly and the breakfast was fabulous. I have stayed here on several occasions and it always delivers.

Not found anything to be negative about the place, My only suggestion would be that if you are re-entering after 11pm U need to phone the duty manager to get in, would help if there was a code/fob for the door.

It's good value and have used regularly when visiting my son in Portsmouth, I like Fareham as a place and had some very good prices off Red Lion

Didn't like the evening meal that had hard unedible roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding that was like leather to eat, the food was cooked in the afternoon and then the left overs were served in the evening for the full price, my wife works in catering for 20 years and knows the signs. Overall the hotel needs a refresh of paint and a regular weekly clean down as it felt quite grubby in places. Staff were pleasant and accommodating, however I was told that I parked (temporary to unload luggage) in the managers parking space only to find that the parking space had 'No Parking' diagonal paint on the floor which blocked the rear fire exit from the hotel should an evacuation be needed. The receptionist was not too pleased and was more concerned that the manager couldn't park rather than the health and safety concern.

Decor was a bit tired but still very clean.

Plenty of free onsite parking. Check in very quick and simple. Room was perfect for our needs, plenty storage. Breakfast was amazingly good.

Friendly, helpful staff. Good atmosphere- old inn which is so much better than a typical new chain hotel. Free car parking for hotel guests. Good breakfast and food in general. Brilliant shower.

Only issue with the room this time was that the hot water stopped working.

Breakfast as always, fantastic and good value for money. The room is lovely and quiet. Didn't use the restaurant on this visit but food is always good.
