The hotel offers clean rooms with high-tech facilities and is conveniently located near shops and a pier. The service is extremely friendly, and the location is great in Southsea, close to restaurants and the seafront. The dining experience includes a good idea for early departures but could improve on breakfast options. Overall, it's a relaxing accommodation near parks and minutes away from the waterfront.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were not up to standard upon arrival, but the top-floor room I stayed in surprisingly had excellent Wifi coverage. However, the bathroom layout was inconvenient, leading to wet feet after showering. The presence of an ethernet cable was a plus.
