The hotel offers a charming view over the harbor and is conveniently located in the heart of all the action in Portsmouth. The rooms, although small and not as modern as the bathrooms, provide a cozy stay. The service includes a delightful welcome drink. Dining options cater to vegetarians with classic Italian dishes.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are somewhat small and not as modern as the bathroom, but they come with a view over the harbor. The location is conveniently close to both the train station and main attractions, but it's right next to the coach station. The service includes a welcome drink, and the dining experience provides enough coffee and tea options for vegetarians. Despite some room shortcomings, the hotel presents a friendly and accommodating atmosphere.

The hotel offers rooms with a view over the harbor, but they are slightly smaller and not as modern as the bathrooms. The location is excellent, being right across from the train station and very close to the harbor, Portsmouth Historic Docks, and Gunwharf Quays shopping center. The dining experience includes enough coffee and tea, catering for vegetarians with homemade yogurt. The service provides a welcome drink, and the facilities are well-equipped. However, there is a desire for a kettle in the rooms.
