The hotel is outside the Southampton university. There was a uni party that went on until gone 2:30 in the morning followed by shouting outside from some very merry people. No aircon in the room so had to have the windows opens or roast. The worst aspect was the bathroom. Very small shower and the toilet is positioned right in the corner with so little space around it that I had to sit angled on. If your physically large or 6 foot plus in height I would imaging using the facilities there would be very awkward.

The room was a joke. It's being advertised and charged as a double room but the room and bathroom were borderline unusable as they were so small.

There's no air conditioning and in 30 degree heat you can't open the windows as there's a nightclub directly outside that blares out music until 3.00 a.m.

To add insult when I complained the next morning, it transpires the hotel are aware of the noise problem and still put people in the rooms. Disgraceful.

The was a student nightclub opposite the music started about 11:30 and went on for hours
When I mentioned it to reception the next morning they said next time you can ask to be on the back of the hotel….. I said would it not have made more sense to put guests on the back of the hotel?
Also, the hotel should be having talks with the bar because clearly all the doors were open and it was noise pollution. If you want a good night sleep I wouldn’t stay here.

Room was very small. Your knees hit the wall when you sat on the loo. The shower had a step into it and you have to open the bathroom door to be able to dry yourself as there’s no room if it’s closed. Difficult to move around if you have mobility issues but if it’s just for one night then it’s ok. Tv missing loads of free view channels too.

The staff are good and the hotel is clean. But if you want a decent room which isn't for a hamster, if you want any sort of air con or a fridge then this isn't for you. You need to make more obvious. Pet friendly sort of they let you in and them in the room, not really anywhere for them to go to the toilet and no air con not good for them..

I needed somewhere to stay for one night whilst attending a concert in Portsmouth. For a one night stay I usually turn to Travelodge or Premier Inn. They were both unavailable so I booked the Ibis at a cost of £130.00 for the night.

The check-in was quite slow. It took the sfatt quite a while to deal with other customers. My room was clean but tiny. There was no room to move around. The batrhroom was the tiniest I have ever experienced. I am. thankfully, relatively slim (save for a bit of a middle aged man belly) but if I was much larger it would have been a struggle to manoevre myself onto the toilet or into the shower. You would need to be on very good terms with anyone you shared this room with and very forgiving of their bodily functions.

The bar area was more reminiscnent of a hostel than a hotel. The sitting area is not very comfortable with very basic tables and chairs and some sofas and a pool table. It was perfectly adequate but not a hint of anything more than basic. The beer was relatively cheap and the food was adequate.

It was absolutely fine for one night but I was expeting more for what I paid. In terms of room size and quality of the bar area, the Portsmouth central Travelodge ar Premier Inn are better choices.

We appreciated being allowed to check in early and being given a room on the top floor as requested in advance. We also particularly liked the quiet and walkable neighborhood, the proximity to the docks, the dining and relaxation areas, the complete breakfast, and several of the dinner selections which we enjoyed both of our 2 nights at the hotel. The only negative aspect was the extremely small size of our room in which we could barely open and make use of our luggage.

As usual, IBIS provided a small room that somehow has a place for all of our possessions. Hooks, shelves, hangers, small tables, good lighting and a large comfortable lobby/entertainment area. The staff were very helpful including storing our luggage for 12 hours on our last day. The carpet in our room did have several nasty spills on it that should be corrected before the room is rented again.
We liked the Hideout for coffee and fresh pastries, one block. There are quite a few cafes and shops by the Guildhall, and an extensive shopping area a few blocks beyond that. The cafe across the road on the 5th floor of the university building was not operational.
Walking to Southsea or Gunwharf Quay is about 15 minutes. The Millenium Promenade was one of our favorite things in Portsmouth and it's free. Also, Osborne House on the Isle of Wight was pretty great.

Breakfast was nice, except the bacon, which was overcooked and chewy, possibly as a result of being out too long. Everything else was fine and, as it's a buffet, you can help yourself to whatever you want. The room was OK, although the bathroom is rather compact; I wouldn't want to have to towel dry myself with the bathroom door closed. These are minor issues, though. The staff were all very polite and helpful and everything was clean.

Absolutely tiny room/shower room. No room to move in the shower room. Signs of black mould on the ceiling. Random fake rock face walls in corridors felt very claustrophobic. Noisy at the weekend due to a nightclub across the road - loud music until 3am. Other guests were also very noisy late at night. Doors didn't help as it was impossible to close them quietly. Convenient location for city centre, harbour and train station. Good breakfast and very nice staff, but unfortunately we won't be staying here again unless the rooms have a total redesign and makeover.

Great location for sightseeing/shopping.All within a 15-20 min walk or 5 minutes by car.
Very basic welcome on reception.If a welcome at all!Departure was just the same.A simple “I hope you enjoyed your stay “ would have been appreciated but all the young man said was thanks when handing back the room cards.
The room was clean and compact.Space is an issue particularly in the shower/toilet.The toilet itself is at an awkward angle in the corner which I imagine would not be easy to use especially if you are of a larger build.The port hole window in the shower room amused me as it looks like a washing machine door and opens like one.
Bed was comfy with extra pillow provided if needed.
We had booked in for 2 nights and dined at the restaurant the 2nd night and can not fault the food we ordered.It was delicious and fairly priced.
Overall the stay was okay.Would I stay again,most probably yes.Would I recommend,yes I would with the emphasis on the very tight tiny toilet.:)

Room was ridiculously small, Lack of staff, left waiting for ages for service at the bar. When booking I was under the impression that I had booked for bed & breakfast but was told that it was room only. Also breakfast was poorly managed. Hot food was not being regularly topped up leading to items being missing when trying to get service. Also parking is charged as an additional sum of £12 per day, payable on arrival but if you go out, you have no guarantee that you have a parking spot on your return.

I stayed in a double room with a double bed (SweetRoom), single occupancy. The room was nice, clean and had everything I needed. I will say though that the space was very tight, including the bathroom with toilet and shower. It was alright for one person. Staff at reception were friendly. The bar area looked nice but the restaurant was closed as there were no cooks. That wasn't an issue, as the location is great and within easy walking distance to several eateries. The walk to the Historic Dockyard isn't particularly nice (along a busy road), but it only takes about 15 minutes.

The hotel appears to have a nice size lounge area, although we didn't use it.

No complaints. It's an Ibis so you know what to expect, but the bed is comfy, the location was convenient, and the room clean.
My only comments were we had issues with some TV channels, but it was the morning when checking out, so not a big deal. However, it would have been nice for the bar to be open to maybe midnight, or a little later, so when you get back, the option is open if you fancy another drink.

My only concern is the lack of available parking, difficult to judge if you park, pay for the stay but then leave to visit the area only to return and find no available spots, allowance should be made to prevent this from happening.

Nice hotel, lovely staff and food and very conveniently placed. However the bathroom is incredibly small. If you are a well built person you may have difficulties negotiating the space. I am 5 foot 7 and medium build and I found it awkward. This is obviously something that has been raised with the staff before as I was told 'all the rooms are the same size' when I was given my room card.
