Bembridge Hotel with Pool

"Accommodation areas being renovated, so bit untidy at the moment. Public areas very nice, restaurants excellent, and the staff were wonderful. I will stay here again if I am in Portsmouth."

"The breakfast buffet was excellent. Good variety of food with fresh fruit. The spa was disappointing. Wanted to use it for relaxing in the evenings but staff wanted to shut down sauna and steam rooms about 45 minutes before the scheduled closing times. There was no 'relaxing area' to use between using the sauna and steam rooms. "

"Ample parking, the room was comfortable and clean, although there were insufficient plug sockets. The staff were friendly and helpful, and service was excellent. An ideal hotel for weekend sporting events as breakfast is served from 7am. "

"Breakfast was lovely catered for everyone Room was clean and comfy Staff really friendly and helpful"

"The room was clean and comfortable enough. The location is good, and it's a pretty cool old building. As with all Greene King pubs and hotels, the wifi isn't really free since you have to fill out a form divulging a bunch of personal information to use it, which I declined to do. "

"As usual, IBIS provided a small room that somehow has a place for all of our possessions. Hooks, shelves, hangers, small tables, good lighting and a large comfortable lobby/entertainment area. The staff were very helpful including storing our luggage for 12 hours on our last day. The carpet in our room did have several nasty spills on it that should be corrected before the room is rented again. We liked the Hideout for coffee and fresh pastries, one block. There are quite a few cafes and shops by the Guildhall, and an extensive shopping area a few blocks beyond that. The cafe across the road on the 5th floor of the university building was not operational. Walking to Southsea or Gunwharf Quay is about 15 minutes. The Millenium Promenade was one of our favorite things in Portsmouth and it's free. Also, Osborne House on the Isle of Wight was pretty great."

"Easy to book online, reasonable prices. Staff welcome, check in easy. Food outlets in hotel available at different times. Good size room, comfortable bed. Parking area ample. Our only negative was our bathroom sink had a few old cracks (objects been dropped), not appealing"

"I would describe the stay as travelodge level rooms- fairly basic. Probably a 2-3 star stat. Standard of cleanliness isn’t great- the room had a faint smell of damp or urines. The mugs in the room were also dirty The facilities were surprisingly impressive- a good sized pool and proper gym. We stayed here and spent the first day in Portsmouth and the second day in Chichester. It’s a good and accessible location."

"We recently stayed for 2 nights Friday-Sunday as we were attending a family wedding on Saturday. Checked in to the hotel at 8.50 and had a dinner reservation at 9. Upon going to our room at about 11 we noticed a letter from the hotel on the bed. Apparently their new policy is not to service the room for stays of more than one night unless they are asked. However you have to let them know by 10 the night before. As we were an hour late I telephoned reception but there was no answer. The following morning before breakfast we went to reception to ask for our room to be serviced sometime that day. We explained that we would be out from midday to midnight. The receptionist advised us that our room would be serviced later in the afternoon that day. Upon returning to our room "
