Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms are small, but great for a quick weekend stay. Some noise disturbances affected my sleep quality, and the rooms felt too tiny for the price charged.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although small, were well-equipped and modern, providing comfort for a business night stop. The service was excellent with a very welcoming and helpful staff, although parking was an extra cost. The location was convenient, close to local amenities and the city center, but the noise from nearby nightclubs was bothersome. The dining experience had its ups and downs with great service but disappointing food availability. Overall, the hotel offered good value for money with some room for improvement.
The hotel was overall not bad at all, with clean rooms and polite staff. However, the rooms are extremely small and could be noisy due to ongoing building work. The location is great for exploring the area.
The hotel offers clean and tidy rooms, but they are exceptionally small, making it a bit cramped for comfort. The service was friendly overall, with some improvements needed. Its location is convenient for exploring Portsmouth but may suffer from noise due to a nearby night club. The dining experience was mixed, with both positive and negative aspects. The facilities provided were satisfactory, with room for enhancement.
The room was a bit cramped, but it had plenty of sockets which was great for our needs. The hotel had some uncontrolled emergency situation. The staff was patient but had a confusing reply policy; ordering food was restricted to the bar area. Service was friendly and accommodating, offering dry cleaning, housekeeping, a welcome drink, and pet amenities. The location was clean and a good value for money, especially for onward travel from Portsmouth and Southsea station. The dining was excellent overall but lacked variety in the continental breakfast the next morning. The hotel had an excellent set of choices between hot and cold items.
The hotel had ridiculously tiny rooms with lots of dust and a stuffy bathroom, making it a cramped stay. On the bright side, the location was convenient, albeit noisy at night. The dining options were passable but not the best.
The hotel rooms were very small and lacked enough towels. Moving around the room was challenging due to limited space. The room temperature was too warm, and opening windows wasn't an option. I was not pleased with the price, especially the additional charge for the car park. However, the staff was friendly and helpful.
The hotel location was ideal, close to local attractions and within walking distance of Gunwharf Quays and historic dockyards. The rooms were smaller than expected and uncomfortably hot to sleep in, but the staff was friendly and helpful. The dining experience was average, with some missing items on the table and warm rather than hot food.
I found my stay at the hotel quite pleasant overall. The rooms were on the smaller side compared to other Ibis hotels I've been to, but they were clean and well maintained. The service was top-notch, with the staff being very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The location was convenient for exploring the university and it was fairly close to the ferry terminal and central Portsmouth. The dining experience offered plenty of choices, although there were some inconsistencies. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay. However, the noise from the nearby nightclub and tiny room size were slight drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. Despite not having air conditioning or a bin in the room and the cleanliness being questionable, the location was convenient and the staff very accommodating. However, the lack of room service was a downside for a 24-hour hotel stay.
