The staff are the saving grace for this hotel. All more than helpfull. The old hotel itself needs work. Our room (25) small, ageing single beds, two hangers on a hook for a wardrobe. Poor water pressure in the shower that occasionally went off or cold. Toilet bowl not anchored to the floor.The bar, manned by the receptionist, dirty as was the carpet in the dining room. We were the only guests in the dining room for the Sunday“carvery”. A frozen chicken portion thrown in the deep fryer, some vegetables and covered with gravy. Burnt yorkshire pudding inedible. This hotel in a great location needs work.

Appalling

Hotel is in appalling condition. It is king over due a refurbish. On the corridors leading to the rooms there are unlocked electrical cupboards with bare wires and electric meters, this should be a locked cupboard and wires need to be made safe. The mattresses were in appalling condition. We were unable to sleep in the first night due to severe discomfort. After reporting this to reception the mattresses were eventually changed, supposedly to brand new mattresses. They were not new and had just been pulled from a different room. Due to the severity of discomfort we barely slept. The quality of breakfast was almost as bad as the beds! The cooked breakfast was swimming in grease and a small portion with no option to add any additional items. The continental breakfast was only available if you were at breakfast as soon as it opened, they did more refresh the pastries or yoghurts throughout breakfast service. The advertised fresh fruit was week old half rotten apple or mushy banana, neither were suitable for consumption. The coffee and tea facilities were passable. The room was old and in desperate need of a refurbished. The only waving grave was the bathroom which had recently been refurbished and was still of decent quality. The staff throughout the visit were polite and friendly but very slow to respond to and action negative feedback. I will not be staying at this hotel again which is a great shame as it is in and ideal location to visit all the historical naval history sites

The hotel is near the landmarks.

This is a classic pub hotel. The location is quite near the pier and the train station and is just 5 minutes walk to the dockyard museum. The hotel room is spacious and equipped with an air conditioner. But the electric kettle is dirty having some residue at the bottom and I dare not to use it. For the breakfast, you could order only once for the main course while for the cereal, pastry, toast and coffee you could get as much as you like. I did not go to the pub as flies were the main residence of the pub.

Traditional hotel with period features, attractive dining room. We stayed in Victory suite,which was a little in need of refurb/revamp but otherwise spacious. It had a very large bed but the mattress sloped towards both edges,making for an uncomfortable night's sleep. Staff were mostly friendly & helpful. Food in restaurant variable,one really good seabass dish one fish (ok) but with burnt chips. Windows & mirrors in need of some cleaning,especially uvpc frames in our bedroom. No hairdrier..we also reported shower head & screen problems ( water flooding) & need for lighting over bathroom sink. All in all disappointed for price we paid for 'best' room.

The hotel is a little run down. The security locks have been retro fitted and a set int a metal L shaped plate with very sharp corners. Whilst trying to shut the door quietly he caught his arm on the sharp corner and gashed it in 2 places. The girl at reception cleaned and bandaged it and said she would speak to maintenance about it. Nothing was ever done to file down the sharp corners.

The hotel was in a great location - it was basically across the street from the Royal Navy museum and ships, the bus and train station, and Gunwharf Quays. We had a nice breakfast in the morning and the bar had a cozy seating area. The negatives were a terrible mattress on the bed in room 19, which was up or down stairs from a floor that the lift went to, so not great when you are dragging large suitcases. Third negative was that internet only connected on the ground floor, not in the room. I still rated this hotel as good, because I hope we just had a bad room location for internet and one bad mattress that can be replaced.

Excellent location - walked out the train station and within 2 mins walk you’re at the front door, 5 mins dockyard! BUT - it’s an older building, even though it had an elevator you still need to walk down / up 2 flights, which made it hard for my luggage. My single room was like a pantry, clean enough for overnight but the bed was too soft ( I weigh 115 lbs) and make it hard to sleep. The ventilation system was noisy all night, At 6 am I can smell the bacons fried up from downstairs ( kitchen). The restaurant was pretty good with a full Japanese menu. The hotel served my overnight purpose but not an ideal choice for vacation.

The hotel wasn't noisy but there were roadworks right outside our room but that was only an issue during the day. Good location with train station across the road plus a shopping centre with an amazing cinema.
Breakfast was good and we had a fabulous meal in the restaurant on our last night. We would definitely stay there again.

This hotel is superbly located for a visit to the Naval Yard where the HMS Victory and Mary Rose are located. Further it is literally across the street from the Portsmouth Harbor train station and the Gunwharf Quay shopping center. Apart from the hotel’s location, there are some other positives. The included breakfast is good, and the hotel is clean, even though it is much shabbier than it appears in photographs. WIFI reception is spotty and often non-existent; we did not accept the excuse that the building was old. There was an insufficiency of electrical outlets in our room, along with simple items such as shelves or places to hang things in the room or bathroom. Unless you require the use of a handicap accessible bathroom, do not accept one. The sink is so low as to be almost unusable; it was, in general, unusably laid out.

The front desk service was reasonably friendly and the included breakfast was very nice.

Service in the bar was a little slow sometimes, as staff were off on other duties.

Perfect location, but goes down hill from there, car park is way too small, had to do a 20 point turn to get into the last space. Large room but very plain white decor with a few random tiny pictures lost in the sea of white. Biggest issue was the cleanliness, lots of dust and some very unsavoury stains on the mattress protectors. Bath seal had lots of mould round it as well. the wife didn't sleep particularly well more so thinking about the hygiene rather than the comfort of the bed itself. You don't get a hairdryer either, you have to ask for the communal hair dryer from reception which is a new one on me. Plus point was the AC worked fine (watch out for the drips when you come out of the hotel and walk under it though). Breakfast was just about edible but not great, the filter coffee was an unpleasant throwback and left an unwelcome aftertaste, had to take the wife straight to cafe Nero to get a proper drink! A crying shame as it wouldn't take a lot to make this a really nice place to stay.

You don't get a hairdryer either, you have to ask for the communal hair dryer from reception which is a new one on me. Plus point was the AC worked fine (watch out for the drips when you come out of the hotel and walk under it though). Breakfast was just about edible but not great, the filter coffee was an unpleasant throwback and left an unwelcome aftertaste, had to take the wife straight to cafe Nero to get a proper drink! A crying shame as it wouldn't take a lot to make this a really nice place to stay.

Nice hotel right next to the station and bus station. Great for the Historic Dockyard and Isle of White ferry.
