as we were doing the 'round the harbour ' bike ride and had to start early , the staff gave us breakfast early which was nice (97472081)

positive comments staff were helpful in our requirements
negative comments the mattress springs were felt. it would be a good idea for staff to sleep in the rooms to give a true feel of the place.

we were really pleased with this hotel. i booked it off the reviews on the internet and didn't expect too much as it was cheaper than we usually pay. we were very pleasantly surprised. really big room that was very clean. had a nice welcome and the staff were lovely throughout. it was a bit dated but that didn't matter at all, i've stayed at boutique hotels and not had such an enjoyable stay. it pays to smile at your guests! (97034229)

positive comments really friendly staff. good position for the seafront. clean and tidy hotel. nice breakfast. free parking.

Lyla from Victoria, British Columbia, CA (Solo leisure traveller) 22 November 2007

The hotel is in a great location very close to the sea front and within 15 min. walk to the center of Southsea (Palmerston St) and about 30 min. walk to Gunwharf. The hotel is stylish and the staff helpful and friendly. Breakfast is included and was plentiful. Rooms are quiet. I could not hear any of the other guests. A nice place for a getaway retreat. Hotel is on bus route. (97797831)

positive comments The rooms are beautiful, quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. Very Victorian and everything you would expect from a small boutique style hotel.
negative comments Lack of storage space to store bags. I was too early to check in and had to leave my bag in the main foyer by the check in desk. However, all outside doors are kept locked.

Sandra from Tehachapi, US (Group of adult friends) 08 November 2007

My mistake was in not realizing the distance from the nearest train station. But the hotel was very nice...clean, comfortable and it fit our needs just fine. A good value. Very helpful staff. (97010899)

positive comments Nice rooms...very quiet. Good breakfast, and very helpful staff.
negative comments Quite a distance from the Felton train station...not to be walked by the faint of heart. Acceptable pubs in the area.

positive comments Digital TV in the room; availability of power sockets in the room
negative comments Both chairs in the bedroom were broken - the the Thompson Local guide was a godsend as it enabled me to prop one of them up; poorly functioning shower (weak flow and hard to adjust); bedroom had an unpleasant, unwashed smell. There was no room service available, despite a sign in the room indicating it.

Kevin from Brighouse, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 11 December 2006

Served its purpose, would probably use again but would request a larger room. Bed too close to a very draughty window, heating radiator behind a ceiling to floor curtain trapping all the heat behind i.e. all heat lost through window. (99576410)

positive comments Good for overnight stay
negative comments Room on the small side - noticed other rooms of a larger size which were unoccupied during our stay.

I could not turn down the radiator in the bathroom which was therefore on all night. I though the room's decor was a bit dingy. The breakfast was good apart from the cheap quality sausage. (99406480)

negative comments Staff attitude was not very welcoming (apart from the waitress who was friendly).

negative comments Room of a poor standard. mattress had seen better days - very uncomfortable. Black mould around base of shower. T.V. Hand set control not working.Although I requested a single room I found the floor space too limited to the point of having to move the chair to gain access to the waredrobe. wallpaper has seen better days.

I only stayed one night, I would not go back again. The TV did not work adequately despite two visits from staff. The breakfast service was very poor (although the food was not too bad). Tables were not cleared and re-set you had to ask for everything you wanted. One person to serve and clear in this area was totally inadequate. The poorest service I have ever had in a hotel of this standard. (3304637176)

positive comments size of room, tea making facilities good.
negative comments TV did not work. Bathroom was very dated and needs replacing. Breakfast service very poor indeed.
