Pamela
Everything was exceptional. The location was an easy walking distance to all of the attractions we planned on visiting and was surrounded by amazing places to eat and have a drink. Beautiful property and very comfortable beds. Would recommend this place for anyone wanting a relaxing visit to the area.
Daniel
We had a great stay at Ashby's. The room was great and the facilities downstairs in the communal area were amazing and unique for this type of accommodation. The staff were brilliant and helpful in giving us a bigger room so we could have a more enjoyable stay. Will be sure to stay here again soon!
Matthew

Sarah
Ashbys is absolutely amazing in every respect. Our room was beautifully decorated, immacualtely clean, and we have never slept in such a comfortable bed away from home! The facilities at the hotel are superb, and the location is perfect, with a huge choice of bars and restaurants on your doorstep. Steve and Mubi were incredible hosts and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely return in the future and would not hesitate to recommend Ashbys to all.
Robert

daniel
Could not fault this hotel. Will definitely be staying again when in the area on business.
Aaron
Nice warm welcome from the owners.
Small room when we'd booked a big room
Two singles pushed together and very poor nights sleep in poorly fitted bed owing to the fact its 2 singles pushed together
No fridge in room
no water in room
no glasses in room to at least drink from the taps
no waters or mini bar downstairs just a bottle of flat coke 0 and a blue buzzball
good tv and decor .. tv has all online amenities
big shower with slight poor controls .. standard at almost every hotel in existence
great location
would not recommend or stay again
cheers

Benjamin
Amazing find. Nice kocatıon, great room, very clean and modern. Staff were very friendly
Douglas
This is a great hotel. Great staff and its more like a rental than a hotel. Full use of hot tub, pool table, karaoke machine, table tennis and air hockey.
Ben
Some early issues were overcome with professsionalism and a real care to go above and beyond. Some of the best after care service I’ve received. Will definitely be back next year, if not before
daniel
spotless room. And a nice room upgrade
Celeste
Steve and Mubi were wonderful and extremely accommodating. The rooms were excellent and clean. The location was also perfect with everything within walking distance. The only request I would make would be for a safe in our room. Just for our passports. I cannot say enough how our stay was enhanced by how wonderful Steve and Mubi were. They made our stay memorable and excellent.

Great stay in this really well-located property. Had everything I needed, very well-equipped. Great breakfast options round the corner too. Many thanks.
Mara
Our room was very comfortable and clean with everything we needed. Our greeting on arrival was friendly and helpful, settling us in quickly and efficiently. Ashbys was the perfect place for us to stay for our short time in Portsmouth. Ideally located close to some great places to eat and easily walkable to Gunwharf Quay.

Mubi, who showed me around was delightful and every interaction with the owners was warm and supportive. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. I would have preferred a more accessible socket for charging my phone but it was still doable and no real inconvenience.

Alisha
I can’t tell if I really love this place or not. There were a lot of issues that I can’t overlook, even though I had a really lovely time and I really enjoyed the games room.
They advertise that there was parking, but when I turned up, you have to pay £6 for a permit, which was cheeky. They also advertise two king beds but they were definitely double. It took me three attempts to figure out how to enter because there’s no reception and I just had to keep going to different locations ringing their ring doorbell. When someone did come out, it was a young girl wearing pyjamas, which was so unprofessional. It looked like I had to go into their personal house to check in, which made me feel uncomfortable and they had cats which I’m allergic to. So soon got a stuffy nose. you can hear everything in the room, there was black mould in the shower (the most dangerous kind of mould). There was no bin in the room so we just had to leave our rubbish on the side. It felt rude and untidy, but we didn’t have another choice. The light really easily slipped around the door frame and the electrics kept making a tapping sound, plus the fridge was noisy which kept waking me up throughout the night. Despite us having two radiators on full blast, we were cold. There was no shelf in the shower for you to hold your shower gel. And the electric hockey machine electrocuted me because the start button was broken so my finger actually went into the machine.

The hosts were lovely people but we just felt a bit disappointed as the reason we booked here was due to the games room and facilities for our 9 year old to enjoy after checking in which we couldn’t use due to a large booking so ended up having to sit in the pub down the road for hours .
Would have been useful to of been told this before hand . We stayed in room 14 although large and nothing wrong with room it had a horrible damp / stale smell and wasnt pleasant, we checked out early the next morning due to this . I thought there would be a balloon in the room or something for my husband’s birthday ( pre arranged and I would of paid for it ) which was explained they wasn’t sure which room it was for and they would pop something in later but it didn’t happen . All things combined was just disappointed with the amount I paid unfortunately .

Staff was friendly, rooms were large and stocked with everything we could possibly need for a 1 night stay. Our host gave us a quick tour, and took time to provide information and answer questions. Truly enjoyed the comfort that was provided, the easy food options just down the road.

Cannot fault this property at all, the hosts are so welcoming and love that you get a tour around the facilities. We booked the spa for my partners birthday and it is a little slice of heaven! Then we played a few games of pool in the bar/lounge area before heading to our room. The area is great, permit parking super easy outside the property, and great recommendation for breakfast the following day (Farm Kitchen). All the best to the hosts for the future success of their business as this is a local gem! xx

A lovely, clean and friendly place to stay. Rooms are fabulous, ours was quite spacious especially the bathroom. The bed huge!
Location is great, very quiet at night despite being near restaurants and bars.

Great hotel, ideal location and welcoming hosts
Great hotel, comfortable big bed and lovely lounge space. Very clean and well decorated. Great to have the use of a kitchenette too. The facilities were great with a communal area with table tennis and pool. Great location in Southsea. Very welcoming host with a personal greeting and tour. Would definitely recommend.

Steve was really friendly and helped us find a nice place for dinner and breakfast.
Kindly sorted a parking space on the property as I think it was a quiet night. But there’s also a huge car park on the other side of the building.
More to do at the property than we realised. The communal area is brilliant. Don’t waste your money in the arcades as there’s loads to do at the hotel: pool, air hockey, table tennis, old school games table (pac man etc), sound system to choose your own music.
Also use of a fairly big kitchen so you could quite easily make dinner or breakfast at the property.
The rooms were really nice. Old Victorian seaside property but renovated and modernised tastefully with some lovely furnishings, cushions, chandelier etc.
So pleased we chose this over the holiday inn. We would 100% stay again and wish we’d checked in earlier to have more time to check out the spa area.

Great find!
Amazing find for a night away. Right in the middle of Southsea surrounded by bars and restaurants. The hosts were amazing and the accommodation was spotless. We’ll definitely be back with our daughter to enjoy all of the facilities on offer. Thanks for having us!

Brilliant stay, great hotel
I've stayed here a few times when I'm working in Portsmouth.
The owners are very friendly and helpful and will give you a quick guided tour of the hotel and all it's amenities, which include the full use of the games room (table tennis, pool, air hockey, pac man, i-pad juke box, board games and large kitchen area).
Parking is in a council car park right next to the hotel. A reduced rate is available from the hotel if you ask.
The rooms are spot on and very comfortable, i think they all have a small kitchen area with a fridge, toaster, kettle, microwave and sink.
It's literally 1 min walk into the high street with some great looking classy restaurants and bars.
I would highly recommend this hotel and would have no hesitation in staying here with my family if we were in the area.
P.s no height restrictions on the car park

Our stay at Ashby’s was lovely - best of class service from the super friendly and helpful hotel hosts, lovely area and fantastic room. Would love to come back and stay here.
Luke
Lovely place just what i needed to relax after work
Susie
Loved this property. All the extras are brilliant. Will definitely stay again. Host lovely to.
michael
What a great hotel. We were made to feel very welcome on arrival and really helpful sorting parking and making up a pullout bed.
The major benefit of this hotel is the great communal area that has a pool table air hockey table tennis, and a kitchen and bar area where you can bring your own food and drinks Which was great for our 2 teenagers. The rooms were lovely, really clean and comfortable.
I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again

Exception Stay
Always a pleasure to stay at Ashby’s. Stayed here on numerous occasions including for a birthday!! Steve and Mubi were great at accommodating everything I needed including birthday decorations. The spa was lovely, hot tub extremely spacious set to the perfect temperature. Communal area had a wide array of games to play, great for some competitive fun! A lovely place for a little getaway! Overall an amazing experience as per usual! Cannot wait to book to stay again :)

Great Experience.
From start to finish we had a great experience.
Both Steve and Mubi are fantastic owners and went above to make sure that we had a great experience.
The facilities with unexpected added extras was great and and the room was clean and comfortable.
The location was perfect close to town and the beach.
I will be booking again and would recommend staying at Ashbys .

A really friendly welcome and tour of the quirky hotel was matched with a lovely clean and tidy room which had a cracking shower
I’ll definitely stay here again

Found a gem with this one !! Gorgeous boutique hotel where the staff have all run off and abandoned the place so you can stay at a sensible price. This is now my no1 place to stay when travelling to the IOW (and that’s without using the sauna and hot tubs.) Steve and Mubi are great hosts and are doing a great job in covering for the missing staff ??
Anisa
A really lovely place to stay!! The communal area was great with a large variety of games to play!! Did not use the spa facilities however Mubi did provide us a tour of these, the spa was to an exceptional standard! Will definitely look into booking next time I stay!! Both Steve and Mubi were lovely hosts. Very kind individuals. Look forward to staying with them again soon!

Incredible

We had an amazing two-night stay at Ashbys and can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, the owners, Steve and Mubi, made us feel incredibly welcome they were so friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed.
There’s so much to do at the hotel, we were genuinely impressed. The free pool table was a great touch and added to the relaxed, fun vibe of the place. But the real highlight for us was the spa and hot tub totally worth the money and a perfect way to unwind in the evenings. We used the spa both nights and loved every minute of it.
Ashbys is a gem in Portsmouth comfortable, entertaining, and run by two wonderful hosts. We’ll definitely be back!

we booked because the listing implied it had a sauna but on investigation it was not included and required a significant additional payment and as the booking was non refundable there was no point to cancel. we did not go.

Lovely place

Everything was good except a new guest that was playing music till dawn and i was unable to sleep.
Kim
Beautiful and wonderfully quirky
One of my favourite hotels to stay in. Very homely, the beds are incredibly comfy and the whole hotel is beautifully decorated and I love how quirky it is. Love the games/bar area and self service kitchen. The owners always friendly and accommodating. Look forward to staying again.
Erman
Everyone here is super kind, and the rooms are big, comfy, and look amazing! The design vibes are on point. If you're into table tennis or billiards, this place is a total win.
Rachel
Such a good weekend away
Had an amazing stay here the place was so nice with so much to do and the staff were so lovely. Very close to all the cute little spots. Definitely will be coming back to stay again.!
Les
Really value for money, made very welcome couldn’t recommend enough if looking for a break.
Graham
Fantastic place to stay with super hosts
Our host, Mubi, was fantastic and she couldn’t have made us feel more welcome. She showed us to our room and gave us a tour of the spa. Fantastic place to stay and beautiful rooms.
Jackie
We stayed overnight it was amazing, beautiful property amazing people we will definitely be back home from home thank you x

Away for work
I always look for accommodation with on site parking. This venue says it has on site parking, but IT DOES NOT. The parking is on street parking and the street is a one way street. I got the only space in the street. This costs £6 for 24 hours. Lots of emails sent from vendor before booking giving the same information. The room I was in was great, good sized ensuite, room had table with chair and wifi was good. However the radiator in the bedroom was not on, so the room was cold at night. There is tea, coffee and sugar in room but no milk. There is a full kitchen downstairs with fridges.
There were lots of different venues to eat out in evening within a 10 minute walk.

What amazing facilities. The communal area had a table tennis table, table football, pool table, air hockey, electronic game, large screen TV, seating area and access to a full kitchen. So much more than a room to stay in. Everyone was friendly and I will be staying again.
Helen
This is a gem of a place. Perfect for families with fabulous communal areas. Everything you could possibly need in the room. Superb location with loads of restaurants bars shopping within walking distance

The property was very unique, we enjoyed, the owners were really helpful!
Reza
It's nice and quite place, If you book as a group can be quite enjoyable as they have game room(tennis table, pool and ….).Nice and helpful staff. But feedback of 10 out of 10 that they have on this site is to good to be true.
It is more like you rent a room without any service or extras and you have to bring everything with you, the fridge in the room was faulty and for studio was too small which make it impassable to cook or do anything else in the room. Bed was almost touching cooking stove and washing machine. There is a kitchen in the property that you can use instead but what is the point to get studio than? There weren't any wardrobe to hanging clothes in this called studio and to be honest it was a room only not studio that they charge extra for. If you like a feeling of a average or budget hotel room than this isn't for you, no any services ,cleaning or even a toilet roll.so it's just a room. Cleaning when checked in was 3 out of 5,(shower and the washing tap was so dirty as well. So over all experience I would say 3 out of 5 and If I would visit another time? absolutely No. It might be the problem only for this room (room 1) as I haven't seen other rooms. But if it became busy than this room 1 would be an absolute unpleasant as it's next to entrance and game room.

Very nice studio apartment. The only problem I had was checking out, nobody was around.
Robert
Very nice stay at Ashbys
Nice location near many restaurants but pretty quiet. Easy walk to beaches. Fairly big room with comfortable bed and sofa bed. Nice common area with billiards, air hockey, foosball, and video game console. The spa area seemed nice but was a tad too pricey for family use.
Lynne
A very warm welcome from host. A great location for Bars and restaurants and the sea front. A really comfortabke bedroom, bathroom in need of update. A really great communal area and the option for self catering is a great feature. THANKS
David
Amazing hidden gem.
Fantastic hotel!! Close to park, restaurants, cool coffee shops and bars.
Hotel itself has a BYOB bar area with loads of amenities that are all free to use including pool table tennis and table football. Sky sports on a massive screen and a kitchen to keep your beer and wine chilled. We had a family room which was very spacious with a spotless ensuite bathroom. Room had tea and coffee and the lovely owners really make you feel very welcome.
This boutique hotel is great for families and couples and for the money we could not fault it.
We didn't have time to use the Spa but if it's anything like the rest of the hotel then I'm sure it would be special.
This was our first time in Portsmouth and we wouldn't stay anywhere else if we return.
