It was central to Southsea and only a 20 minute walk from the seafront or 10 minutes to the shops.

Difficult to find - not well marked. Room was up several flights of stairs. No elevator. Room was small. Main issue was the beds were rickety, old and uncomfortable Area did not feel safe. Not a place I could stay. I found another hotel room immediately. The attendant did help with bags and did try to remedy situation.

Good location for concert, but a bit confusing on how to park for the property We requested parking thinking it would be £5 a day as per the website instructions however, was later told it was £15 per day. The on-street parking is only for 3 hours or permit holder so not much use. Room was nice and spacious however the shower was slightly awkward due to the shower head not staying fixed Overall good stay however parking was not the most ideal with having to pay an extra £10 more than advertised

The hotel was decent. However it wasn't quite obvious to find and I would recommend getting sign put up on the building or outside. Also having more available parking for overnight stays!

Scott & Galina's lovely break

The apartment was clean and exactly what we was looking for as it was just a base for us to sleep and shower. The staff are friendly, unfortunately parking is not free and is quite expensive and they say there is parking in the area, unfortunately southsea/Portsmouth is on the ball with parking and is mostly only available for locals with a parking permits. If you like pubs,bars and restaurants you are in the right area as there are loads around. Yes i would stay there again.

Disappointed Experience

The washing basin was a small size one and there was no other surface area to put stuff except the windowsill at the other end above the toilet. No cup was provided to brush my teeth, and I had to use the cup for tea and coffee. No hand towel was provided. I had to use the bath towel to dry my hands after washed. There was no bedside cabinet on the right-hand side of the small double bed. There was no other table area to put stuff except the small kettle/tea/coffee area. There was no hair dryer and wardrobe in the room. This was the Deluxe Double Room I booked?? There is no restaurant in the hotel. The parking charge in Hotels.com website was £5 per day. On my arrival day, the hotel said £15 per day. I just parked my car off street around the area. Overall, this hotel should be a two-star hotel, not three-star. I am disappointed.

We left a day early due to not enjoying our stay and the staff charged us extra for parking and took a waiver fee, very disappointing.

The bedding, and ensuite were clean, and fresh. The bed itself, was two single mattresses on a double base, with a double topper on top. Springs were poking through in places. Furniture in the room, was worn, wobbly, and seemed to have melted wax in every drawer. There was a bright green emergency light in the ceiling that was permanently on, and lit the room up at night. I knew in advance that I would have to pay £15 per day for parking, but after not seeing anybody on arrival, and no clear signage available, I couldn't find reception, or staff members. I did however, receive a phone call after 8.30 p.m. whilst eating out, telling me to pay £30 immediately, by card, cash, or bank transfer. I then didn't receive payment details quickly, so rushed back to pay. I found a letter, stuck to my windscreen, which left strips of glue on my window, when I took it off. I paid my £30 to a staff member, which were plentiful, at 10 p.m. The curtains didn't fit the windows, they were hanging down at 1 end, and tied together, so didn't open properly either. staff kept walking past the windows in the mornings, so privacy didn't seem important. The radiator cover was bent upwards. The wardrobe was doorless, and wedged into place with a bit of old wood. The shower curtain was 4 inches short of the floor, meaning the bathroom floor was wet and slippery, even though they kindly left a towel on the floor for us. The sink plug didn't fit properly, so water drained out quickly. Won't return.

Rubbish bed and no hot water

For the price you do not expect a great deal but you do expect a comfortable bed. Mine the springs were shot and camping would have been more comfortable plus i was forced to take a cold shower as there was no hot water. Being able to park was s big plus

Not a family hotel.

Not as advertised. Advertised as 1 double, 1 single bed, not the case. The room comes with a very small (I'm 5' 6" and didn't fit on it) bed settee. Very noisy, comings and goings all through the night. Not the best idea to put the "family" room next to the front door. No shelf to put toiletries on.

Not great!

I’m a nurse, started to work in the local hospital ( Queen Alexandra Hospital) my partner come from Portugal as we decided to stay here. We wanted to know the city, houses prices etc. I’m renting at the moment a bedroom in a friends house, but because we wanted some privacy, I decided to book a hotel near my friends house in Southsea, for us to get to know the area. Southsea Inn ( the Inn doesn’t apply to the place to be honest) was, and is, one of the worst places I ever stayed. The room is dated, with wall paper ripped and coming from the walls, cheap furniture, dirty and old carpets, the mattress have some broken springs what makes it really uncomfortable, there’s no spoons etc. The other guests were people that as far I understood, are staying for a while and by the looks of it, are people that is homeless or need some kind of help. Nothing against that, but they shouldn’t mix normal guests with other kind of guests. The rooms are with no sound protection, what means that you hear everything from the outside and vice versa. In a positive not the owners are very polite.
