"This is a well located hotel, on a quiet road yet only a short walk from the nearest gate into the medieval city, and from the airport shuttle stop for it. Our room was spacious and stylish, as was the whole hotel. The breakfast buffet was plentiful, with all the hot, cold, cereal, bakery, fruit etc you would expect. We very much enjoyed an evening meal of the signature cassoulet, and tarte tatin. The late checkout was helpful too."

"As per previous reviews, this property was a great place to stay. It's smack bang in Portsmouth Harbour and right next to the bus station and Gosport ferry so couldn't be more convenient if that's your goal. It is a very urban location but a nice view of the harbour on one side but the bus station on the other. Breakfast was included in the rate and Excellent! Even the coffee was great (and having just returned from France, UK coffee is normally a step down). Unlike many properties like this, there's a proper lift which is a godsend if you have heavy bags as I did. Overall Recommended"
