Very nice, clean room with very helpful staff. Choice of pillows and a very comfortable, clean bed. The room was very warm, no Aircon but a fan was provided. The reception and breakfast room are in a different building, on a different road which was fine as the weather was dry. Buffet breakfast was great with good choice. We also ate in the restaurant for dinner which was also excellent. Staff were all extremely good. Would stay here again.

Very happy here. The hotel was very nice, with nice facilities outside as they have a restaurant onsite too. The room was spacious and comfortable, with the staff being exceptionally helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was also excellent with a very good selection of hot and cold items. The venue is around 10 minutes walk to the shops/bars/restaurants, and a further 10 minutes to the coast. Parking can be challenging sometimes, but here was fine - we easily found street parking, less than a minutes walk which they have vouchers for. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

It's quite no hassle in a very good spot Would recommend

Multiple houses with rooms set around the base hotel restaurant all within short walking distance. Gated parking extra £15 but worth it as ready to use. Can park at front of the hotel or on the street. Street parking spaces busy but did see quite a few available. Staff very good. Nothing was too much trouble. Rooms clean comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast and restaurant food very good. Decor with wallpaper, stained glass and chandeliers added a touch of luxury. Nothing really negative although some of the room fittings table top and bench seat were a bit worn. Was full the weds night we were there. Quiet location 2 minute walk from the new Southsea promenade. 11 minute walk through the backstreets to the Kings Theatre. Can book direct with the hotel but Trivago found me best rate with Expedia. Would definitely stay again.

Very disappointing. The mattress was terrible and the front desk was very unhelpful

Room was very clean and comfortable, staff were very helpful, friendly and attentive, cannot recommend this place highly enough. Will be staying again :-)

Had a lovely stay on a work trip. Room was nice, parking was easy, nice option for breakfast

Gorgeous hotel with lovely, polite & enthusiastic staff! We were upgraded to a fabulous suite & the parking options were great. We loved this unique boutique hotel which has been decorated & designed with care & passion. Local transport was brilliant & Southsea is a hidden blossoming gem which we’ll be back to see next year! We will of course be checking back in to the Clarence or one of its sisters. Thank you for making our stay so memorable x

Although we were in one of the anexes, this hotel worked out well. Staff were always smiling and laughing with us. Dinning options with indoor, conservatory, outdoor covered and outdoor gave all the choices you could want .

This is not a traditional hotel, it is more like renting a room or an air BnB There were no facilities in the house, the reception, bar and restaurant were 3-4minute walk away. There were limited tea/coffee and water in the room, resulting in having to go to reception to request more cool water. The water is drinkable from the tap, but in the warm weather wasn’t particularly palatable. The room was clean and pleasant, if on the small size for what it was advertised as. The staff were friendly and helpful. We didn’t use the bar or restaurant due to their Location away from the room. I would not have chosen this hotel if I had been

Nice room with a free standing bath. Very comfortable bed Quiet area

Our stay was fine, just not what we expected. We specifically chose adults only and the About section on Expedia refers to 2 on-site restaurants. Restaurants are not in fact on-site but are a couple of minutes walk away (fine) and shared with guests from other properties in the group, which included a noisy baby one morning (not so fine when you've booked adults only.) Breakfast staff very hit and miss, quite surly at times and there were some conversations had near us that probably shouldn't have been had around guests, it was like we weren't there/were an inconvenience for a lot of them. Overall, it was quite an impersonal experience and we wouldn't return. The nicest member of staff was the young man at checkin and even that was marred by the presentation of a very sternly worded contract outlining the different ways that you could end up being charged an extra £100 for damage to the room. After a 2.5 hour journey, that was a bit of a dampener and did put us a bit on edge for the trip tbh. Also, the view from our room was really not nice at all, overlooking an overgrown garden and quite run-down residential properties. View at the front not much better. What was supposed to be relaxing time away, wasn't in the end, to be honest.

Very quiet and well appointed

Light didn’t work, bathroom door didn’t close and glass on tray covered in toothpaste

noisy at night with pipes and old building so can hear doors opening and people about.

I bought a luxury room with a bath. When I turned up the receptionist gave me a key card and told me my room was on the second floor. No mention of what side of the second floor. When I did get in, the room looked incredible. The bathroom was up some stairs. It was a really cold night when I stayed and unfortunately the bath didn’t have hot water so my bath didn’t happen, then as I stayed I saw things that clearly needed attention. The wall heater literally gave heat for 10 mins then auto turned off. The hot water issue and when I went to bed, the near side of bed had a huge dip in it. Some people may like that but it was difficult to turn over when in the dip itself. In photos it looks incredible and I’m disappointed not angry. When I mentioned these things at reception at check out I was told that I could have had these things fixed there and then so I will clearly take responsibility for not doing this.

Fantastic room, lovely breakfast, but busy waiting staff so the wait was longer than we would usually expect. One personal criticism was the pillows were too full and too firm and no choice to swap them.

Very helpful staff. Good restaurants nearby

The decor was lovely, we stayed in an old victorian house converted to rooms, imaculate. The Mecure msin hotel was about a minute away and we hsd breakfast in the patio garden. Beautifully kept and breakfadt was lovely. Mashed advocado with tomato and poached eggs. Service was excellent, when we booked in a member of staff walked us around the corner to the beautiful house we were staying in, which was lovely, fantadtic stainred glass door and the inside did not disapoint.

Great hotel. Centrally located, 5 minutes from the beach and 20 minutes to centre. Staff were lovely and friendly and food was delicious. Definite recommendation
