Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was lovely. The location is perfect, being situated right next to the south sea front and close to stores and restaurants. The rooms are cozy and clean, but it was a bit inconvenient to not have private bathrooms in the bedrooms. The service was excellent, with efficient housekeeping and laundry service. The dining experience, with homemade Belgian waffles, was a nice touch. The facilities overall were good, but the lack of included amenities could be improved.
The hotel offers excellent facilities with self-catering options in the bedrooms. The location is superb, situated next to the Southsea seafront, making it convenient for exploring the beach and nearby shops. Although the dining does not include Mexican food, the overall value for money is great.
The hotel is nestled next to the south sea front, offering a luxurious fully tiled bathroom and a kitchen with lovely clean decor and new furniture. The location is superb with the seafront close by and plenty of shops and restaurants within a short stroll. However, the lack of a private toilet in the room is a minor inconvenience to consider.
