“In my opinion, this inn's prime location-near the railway and bus stations, overlooking Spinnaker Tower, and a walk from Gunwharf Keys and the Historic Dockyard-is a definite asset; the friendly staff adds to its appeal. While some rooms are basic and noise can be a factor, the value and excellent shower make it a reasonable choice for budget-conscious travellers. I think its unpretentious charm and loyal pub downstairs provide a taste of local Portsmouth life.”

Just Okay, I Guess

adequate locationdisorganized check-inmissing lamps
The location suited my needs adequately.
The check-in process at the hotel next door seemed disorganized. The room lacked bedside lamps, so I had to get out of bed to turn off the main light. I found it somewhat noisy in the evenings with just a ceiling light.
