Probable bed bugs

Immediately after leaving I developed multiple bug bites which can only have come from bed bugs or similar -- otherwise OK for the price.

Could be better.

The bed was very hard and squeaky however the bedding was clean apart from one small mark on one pilow. The towels were lovely and clean and soft. The bathroom had a dampish odour. Needs a little TLC.

The room was almost unbearably hot with no real way to cool it down. The hotel put a fan in there but it was still too hot.

Rubbish

This is not a hotel it’s more like a hostel the rooms are small the beds are small with only one bedside cabinet my wife couldn’t even wash her hair as there was no hair dryer the door entry system is awful with a code and not much light to see it late at night the only good thing is the location I would never stay there again and I think hotels.com need to go and see the place

Good location, basic but functional

Fantastic location, close to the beach and some nice small cafes/restaurants. Super set up with fridges and a small kitchenette. Clean and modern. Beds were very hard. Curtains did not block any light out so we were awake from 04.30. Apart from that a super stay.

Southsea does rock.

Nice, clean basic hotel. Staff helpful, facilities okay, if you are prepared to share a bathroom. Not sure how the dining room was meant to work. TV had intermittent breaks in viewing and limited channels. Good location close to the beach, pier, local Co-op and the bus passed by quite close. Southsea is a very nice vibrant town. Glad I went.

Clean and basic

Hotel is clean, tidy and basic. Kitchen is for all hotel stayers so there is no kettle in your room. It's located in a fantastic place right by the seafront. Staff are friendly and helpful. Just remember your photo id when checking in.

We were placed in a family room in the basement part of the hotel and on the other side of our room was the communal staircase - our beds were also next to this, wall so the children and ourselves were unable to get to sleep until early hours. The people above us were also very noisy and the soundproofing was poor in our room. We're leaving very tired.

Clean / tidy and suiable for us to catch the morning ferry. Parking facility essential, so possibly in high season may not be so lucky?? Maybe just a basic tea making in the room more convenient and a bit more room in the bathroom! But oveall it suited our needs.
