Clean and comfortable room
Paul
Room was in good condition but rather spartan, would have liked tea/coffee making facility's in the room
Mohammad
Such a good experience and everything was neat and clean.
Lisa
Clean and easy access to the property. Great for location to the beach.
Rebecca
The accessibility of the property was very convenient, with a PIN to access the front door and hotel room.
It was in a perfect location near the seafront for my trip to Victorious festival. The area was surprisingly quiet for the middle of Southsea! The room was clean and pleasant, however I did expect more facilities for the price I paid: a kettle, tea/coffee in the room would have been nice. I did appreciate that I could make hot drinks in the kitchen. All in all a pleasant stay in this self catering hotel.

A really lovely little place to stay. The room was spacious and the bed super comfortable. Having kitchen facilities to use is a bonus although we didn’t use them. The shower wasn’t great (rain head only) and I really struggled to work it. It would also be great to have a mirror in the bedroom area for getting ready as the only mirror was in the bathroom.
John
The Blue star House Hotel is on a 1way street, which is very quiet and peacefull. Very close to lots of restaurants and bistro bars. Close to a couple of shops, and very nice area on the edge of old southsea area.
Jeremy
Decent value for an overnight stay.
This is the first time I have stayed at a hotel where I have met neither other residents, nor staff. You are provided with key codes for the front door and your room.
The accommodation reminded me or my student days. A bed, a second-hand desk and some shelves, with a communal kitchen area.
But the bed was comfortable and I slept like a log. I arrived late and was up for an early meeting the next day, so this was all I needed. The price was very reasonable, so I consider this decent value.

A non hosted property but very clean, comfy and convenient. I didn't see another guest for my stay, so also quiet.

Clean and comfortable
Excellent value for money and great location.
Parking can be difficult although resident permits available if you can find a space.
Bathroom radiator was on all night and not sure how to turn off.

The property is in a quiet road in Southsea, however parking is extremely limited and after midnight loud and noisy students walk between the bars and their rooms.
The overhead \"Rain\" shower is not good and water pressure is rubbish. Kitchen was well stocked, but other guests didn't keep it so clean as required.
However, I did enjoy the three days and would stay again.

Good stay, clean house and the staff is helpful
Emma was very friendly and helpful.
The house is clean and they provide everything you need (iron, coffee, tea..) you can buy your stuff and put it in the fridges..
The only issue was the parking as it was difficult to find a place but there are several options available as they give you a parking authorisation for the KC area..

Staying in star house
The place was lovely only a few things I find that would of been better is there was no light near the bed, did not like the code 2 get in the room, as battery empty before I left could not get in my room,had 2 ring someone 2 come over, no phone number in case of emergence, part from that everything was ok
Dorin Adrian

We stay flat 4. Very nice place for stayed and very easy to get around places and even a few minutes to walking to front beach .

Overnight stay.
We booked this at short notice. The accommodation was clean, and the kitchen appeared clean although we had taken our own tea-making so did not feel comfortable using this with Covid.
We found the room, semi-basement, very hot and stuffy. One window unable to open and the other letting in very little air due to being largely below ground.

Very good.
All very good - the \"free on site parking\" consists of essentially one space, so off site is almost always the case, but with a supplied ticket, so it is free - good communication from the management, regular text updates. Nice and central for everything.
Julie
Great find
Fab location within walking distance of beach, bars, restaurants and shops.
b
Good value and central
I stayed for two nights as I am a graduate of University of Portsmouth, I had to leave early due to something I had to do but the hotel refunded the remaining fees. The hotel is central and well-presented and has a large lounge and kitchen which can be used. The other guests seemed to be medical staff from the QA hospital which I enjoyed meeting

Stayed for one night . Enjoyed the peace and quiet. The only issue I have is with limiting parking even tho you kindly supplied a parking permit it is still a major problem other then that all was fine.

Thank you it is so amazing I had good weekend.

The Blue Star House is in a great location and is very clean with a well equipped shared kitchen. We were disappointed in our room as we had booked a Premium Double Room with bathroom and ended up with a VERY small room with a very small wet room.
Lolita
Good value accommodation.
Extremely clean room. Quiet location, walkable to city centre. It was very hot in the room, obviously as the weather was very good and the fan did help, though it is noisey when on.
Good Wi-Fi and well communicated and efficient entry to property and room.

The kitchen and washing facilities were excellent. The shower being the whole toilet room was odd and would have worked well wit better shower water pressure and should have had a squeegee to clear the bathroom floor after showers

Good place to explore Portsmouth/Southsea
Next street to the main street in Southsea - some very restaurants/coffee shops/John Lewis/Debenhams all within 5 mins walk and 5 mins walk the other way takes you to Southsea esplanade and the sea with the Naval War Memorial, D Day museum etc.

Well informed prior to arrival and a faultless stay really. Will stay here again as great value.

Autonomous B & B
Overall our stay was great and we would do it again.
It was a bit unusual though to have never seen our hosts or any of the people involved in making this a great place to stay. We arrived and were greeted by a poster describing how we should enter our personal pass code for the electronic locks and looked in to a wonderfully equipped kitchen and laundry that were also set up for use by the guests without need for assistance. Everything was perfectly labeled and identified, snacks and breakfast basics were included, etc.
The bathroom was very functional but also unusual, with a common floor shared by shower, sink, and commode area. One drawback to all this was the lack of a horizontal surface or shelves to place towels or toiletries while using the bathroom.

Clean, comfortable, convenient - recommended
We really liked Blue Star house. It's a good location (although parking might be tricky) and our room was smart, clean and comfortable (the bed was large and had a very good mattress). The shower wetroom was good and the self-catering kitchen clean and well supplied with crockery, cutlery, etc. Enough food for a decent breakfast was also provided. There are good cafes, bars and restaurants nearby too.

Clean house in great location
If you don't mind having to do things yourself then this is an ideal place to stay. Great facilities with clean rooms and great location. Plenty of nearby places to eat if you don't fancy using the kitchen.

Good value
Great little place and great value for money.
Nathan
Would stay again. Only negative is no AC but with windows open cools down fairly well at night.
June
Ideal for short stay
A nicely refurbished old house - self catering with a large communal kitchen and lounge. Basics supplied in the kitchen. Rooms very nice with ensuite bathrooms. Modern duvets, soft towels etc. Can't fault it. close to both central shops and the promenade and the hoverferry to IOW.
