Better than staying at cookie cutter run of the mill hotel or motel. Feel the charm of British culter and hospitality. Well worth forgoing some amenities just for the experience.

Diabolical bed!!!
Room was ok for the price. Facilities ok for the price. The bed was a disgrace. The mattress must have been 20 years old, no padding on top of the springs. Dreadful nights sleep. Had to sleep on top on the duvet to get some comfort.

A very long text gives you codes etc to door and how to get to the room and shower room key, as no one at property to welcome you. TV very temperamental, with poor signal. 1 coat hanger in room.

Room for a visit the Navy ships.
Other reviews have mentioned the noise problem from the bar below, and there is music until close to midnight. This was only on one of the two nights I stayed as on the first bar was closed. However, the noise from the street was loud both nights. Had to have the windows open since there was no fan in the room, which it could have used. When bar was open one could order some very good Mexican Food. Bed was comfortable and the the presence of the microwave oven and an electric kettle can save money on food. Convenient to a bus line that takes one right to the entrance of the Navy Dockyards and the historic ships. Overall a very reasonable priced room, keeping in mind that there is no on site help, the owners did keep in touch via email.

Start with positives. Greeted by a lovely lady. She couldn't of been more helpful.
The bookings process was awful not sure whose fault that was. Which resulted in many more interactions than i wanted or needed at a stressful time from a quite unpleasant man. I was traveling for surgery. The stairs were lethal. Im not fully ambulatory so really struggled. The room was incredibly hot only a tiny window. It had been wiped down but needed some tlc. It was very noisy from both the other guests and outside noise. Cheap yes but not cheerful.

Good place to stay
The room was very comfortable and ensuite. Tea and coffee facility was in kitchen next door to room my only criticism is the stairs to the rooms, very steep. I was there near there weekend so the outside noise was quiet loud until about 1/2 am but thats what you get if you choose this sort of location. This is not the property fault, is mine, if i want a quieter location then i should choose out of town hotels. This is a very good place to stay !!
Check with owners for parking problems that the owner can sort. He was very helpful ..

Playing up in and around Portsmouth.
A long overdue visit to the Isle of Wight was the reason why I was staying in Portsmouth on the Friday night. The room was more than adequate for my needs.
I walked from Portsmouth City Centre and the twenty minute walk gave me a bit of thinking time about the following day.
Also within walking distance is a giant Tesco store at Fratton, right next to Fratton Park-the atmospheric home of Portsmouth FC. There is a bus that passes the location,run by First Solent and which is frequent enough.
I would have little hesitation about booking again in the future and would be more than happy to recommend it
