“I find that this hotel's strong suit is blending naval history with modern leisure, near Portsmouth's key attractions. The nautical-themed decor and versatile event spaces stand out, although the basic breakfast contrasts with the high-standard dinners. I think that the indoor pool and comprehensive leisure facilities ultimately round out a solid stay.”

expensive late checkoutnoisy hotel
the staff wasn't all that helpful, to be honest. i asked about late checkout and they wanted to charge me £20 per hour! i have never heard of such a thing. the hotel itself is kinda old and creaky, so that didn't help me sleep soundly.

Solid Stay Near the Docks
friendly staffbreakfast optionharbor proximitywarm corridor
I found the staff consistently friendly. The breakfast had many options. I appreciated the proximity to the harbor. I also found a discount voucher at reception for dockyard parking (it saved me some money).
The hotel seems a bit dated in some areas. I noticed the corridors leading to rooms in the West Wing felt quite warm.

small tvmissing cord
The lack of attention to detail bothered me. The TV was too small. I asked for an extension cord since I use a CPAP machine, yet I did not receive it. This meant I got little sleep that night. The owners do not appear to want to invest in the hotel, and this is a shame.
