Lovely quirkily decorated room, small but has everything you need including TV and powerful shower. Remarkably quiet during the night but perfect location minutes away from my gig at the Wedgewood Rooms, and what looked like loads of other fun places to go. Would certainly stay here again!

The room was perfectly acceptable as was the ensuite. The stairs are very steep but there are rails. The TV had no picture on any channels. The room was quite cold, needs radiator on more hours. The position within Southsea is great - close to Wedgewood Rooms and loads of restaurants and pubs. Great price

The room was in good condition and everything worked.

Shower waste needs cleaning, the tray had filled with water when in use. Needs a good clean round the bottom where the shower doors are. The remote control quite dirty, couldnt find many channels on tv. If you have mobility issues, then you will struggle, as there is a spiral staircase, and narrow straircase. i had blue room and had a double bed, could of done with a bedside table instead of chair, not really much room to put a cup on. I'd say its the perfect place if you are young and want the night life, its very noisey till early hours, 3.40am people outside shouting, could hear them even with windows closed, its an old building, without double glazing,parking was anightmare! There is a seperate kitchen area and small fridge which was handy for a couple of cans of drink, kettle and crockery, i wouldn't stay again due to the noise and stairs i am 56, visiting my son at uni

Very convenient for work, didn't have time for drinks as busy with work

Simple, cheap ideal for night out out stop over

Bar staff was very helpful. A unique venue.

Start with positives. Greeted by a lovely lady. She couldn't of been more helpful. The bookings process was awful not sure whose fault that was. Which resulted in many more interactions than i wanted or needed at a stressful time from a quite unpleasant man. I was traveling for surgery. The stairs were lethal. Im not fully ambulatory so really struggled. The room was incredibly hot only a tiny window. It had been wiped down but needed some tlc. It was very noisy from both the other guests and outside noise. Cheap yes but not cheerful.

Other reviews have mentioned the noise problem from the bar below, and there is music until close to midnight. This was only on one of the two nights I stayed as on the first bar was closed. However, the noise from the street was loud both nights. Had to have the windows open since there was no fan in the room, which it could have used. When bar was open one could order some very good Mexican Food. Bed was comfortable and the the presence of the microwave oven and an electric kettle can save money on food. Convenient to a bus line that takes one right to the entrance of the Navy Dockyards and the historic ships. Overall a very reasonable priced room, keeping in mind that there is no on site help, the owners did keep in touch via email.

Better than staying at cookie cutter run of the mill hotel or motel. Feel the charm of British culter and hospitality. Well worth forgoing some amenities just for the experience.

The room was very comfortable and ensuite. Tea and coffee facility was in kitchen next door to room my only criticism is the stairs to the rooms, very steep. I was there near there weekend so the outside noise was quiet loud until about 1/2 am but thats what you get if you choose this sort of location. This is not the property fault, is mine, if i want a quieter location then i should choose out of town hotels. This is a very good place to stay !! Check with owners for parking problems that the owner can sort. He was very helpful ..

A very long text gives you codes etc to door and how to get to the room and shower room key, as no one at property to welcome you. TV very temperamental, with poor signal. 1 coat hanger in room.

Nice cozy room above a pub. Comfortable and just what was needed for an overnight stay.

Mye støy ute fra, og musikk fra bar i 1 etg.

Good value for an overnight Efficient

A long overdue visit to the Isle of Wight was the reason why I was staying in Portsmouth on the Friday night. The room was more than adequate for my needs. I walked from Portsmouth City Centre and the twenty minute walk gave me a bit of thinking time about the following day. Also within walking distance is a giant Tesco store at Fratton, right next to Fratton Park-the atmospheric home of Portsmouth FC. There is a bus that passes the location,run by First Solent and which is frequent enough. I would have little hesitation about booking again in the future and would be more than happy to recommend it

Cold water in the cold does not work

Window in room off street is old and poorly sealed for temperature and noise. Sounded like I was sleeping on the street.

The room was clean and tidy. The bed was really comfy. Was situated in the ideal place for me. Would stay there again

Amazing atmosphere great owners will deffintly book again
