Highly recommended

I booked a twin room with a view of the Spinnaker, for a friend who had never visited Southsea. We arrived after dark, and immediately opened the drapes to reveal a wonderful lit up Spinnaker. The booking in process (on the first floor) had been easy. All areas including the corridors are clean. The twin room was very clean, the bathroom was also clean. Breakfast was served 6.30 - 9.30am and is quite adequate. Parking is in the Gunwharf Quays shopping complex underground parking lot. The hotel staff will validate the parking ticket, so that parking is free. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel, and I hope to stay again very soon.

Stayed at this Hotel twice now, it is perfect for the Gunwharf Quays shopping. You also get discount on your car parking and meals at some of the restaurants. All the staff are always friendly and helpful.The hotel rooms are simple- nothing fancy but they have everything you need and for us did the job perfectly. The breakfast has all you need to give a good start to your day as well.

Gunwharf Christmas shopping trip

Great shopping trip. The hotel is so well located and the discount Quay card is great. Breakfast is nice and everything was very clean and comfortable. It is also great to get 24 hours of free parking.
