My second stay here, friendly and welcoming staff, spotlessly clean nice rooms and so convenient. The Royal Dockyard, Gunwharfe Quays, Station and Isle of Wight ferry terminal virtually across the road. A short walk to Old Portsmouth and added convenience of private parking make it an ideal base for visiting Portsmouth.

This was a clean and convenient hotel with excellent front desk help. You can't beat it for us close proximity to the IOW ferry, train and busses. I will stay here again on my next trip to the Isle of Wight.

Great little hotel in a perfect location, 5-10 mins from the dockyard, Spinnaker tower and Guildhall (we attended a concert there). Staff were friendly, room clean and comfortable (a bit too hot, but they have air con) and good shower. Parking next door in the hotel carpark is another plus. And a decent breakfast too, very happy with our stay.

Great little gem of a hotel 👍
I was pleasantly surprised at this little gem of a hotel situated very close to Gunwharf Quay and local transport services, the room was exceptionally clean, great shower, very comfortable bed and perfect pillow. At breakfast I had perfectly poached eggs, great bacon and decent sausages, coffee from the pot was very nice. I will defistay here again and at almost half the price of the local chains it represents very good value. Great 👍
