It’s modern and the facilities are clean and well looked after. The keyless entry is a real plus so you don’t have an extra thing to carry around with you. Was privileged enough to meet the owner who was particularly hospitable and even helped us out with parking overnight.
The bar downstairs was fantastic and made for a very nice afternoon in the outside area

My accommodation, booked and paid for, was a complete disaster. It no longer even existed. Don’t get caught out, and don’t believe anything you see about staying at ‘Zoom’, it is a lie.
I was thankful to get a room at Travelodge in Portsmouth instead, but all this after a long day’s travel by train from up north.
Travelodge felt like heaven! Portsmouth was fine, but tainted by my bad experience.

The coastal area is nice to walk along. The Mary Rose & Victory Museum are very good.
Portsmouth city centre is dull, lacking greenery or planters, many shops are empty. It is not an attractive city centre!
There is a statue of Charles Dickens in the Guildsquare otherwise the area is grim.

Only stayed for a day but that was plenty of time for the main attractions in the dock area.
Mary rose museum is a must see.
Lots of families around who seemed to be enjoying the dock area and the shopping mall.

The attraction was the harbour.
The attraction was the harbour. The ticket was expensive but well worth it. The Mary Rose Museum was phenomenally good - exciting, imaginitive and caught the attention of grandparents, parents and children alike. The Victory was almost equally good and the guides there were exceptional. We also visited the Warrior where the guide took over explaining to the children, told us an immense amount but also had us all in fits of laughter. Strongly recommended for all ages
We also very much enjoyed Portchester castle and the exhibition on the prison there (and the cafe in the church.
I love this apartment. It's very clean and well presented and equipped with everything that you may need. The hosts are very helpful and we're available to answer any questions about the property. I had a great weekend stay and the location is perfect for both Portsmouth City center and Southsea Beach. Great value for the money, I would definitely like to stay in the apartment again. Thank you for letting me stay in your beautiful home.regards Doug.
From the outset I was impressed with this hotel, its great place to base yourself if youre looking to explore Portsmouth. Excellent location to both Portsmouth and Southsea and Portsmouth harbour Stations (if travelling by train). For the money this place is a gem! Great nights sleep, friendly staff and clean! - Would absoloutely stay again and recommend!
Very convenient for Portsmouth Harbour, the station and ferry, the bus terminus & Gunwharf Quays and historic dockyard. Very efficient check in, no fuss or bother & you can buy a breakfast if you need one in the morning. The bar is next door if you wish to buy a drink. Good tv too…
Exceptionally well decorated and clean rooms with en-suite at just £55/night. Friendly staff (who just completed his degree and was very positive about the family business and life- was a real booster on a cold wet and late evening). This hotel just reflected that positivity.
l was disappointed that one of them common things and cheaper to buy and can be found in any guest house or hotel was not a there in the kitchen. ( Tea, sugar and coffee wasn't). tThe shower drain was blocked and l was standing in a pool of water whiles taken my shower.
great location for early check in a Portsmouth harbour condor ferries, very close to gunwarf keys
staff very friendly even moved my car for me in the evening to the hotel gated car park for safety when they realised I had parked in public car park behind the hotel
Excellent location for all amenities in Gunwharf Quays and the Naval base museums. Very friendly staff and a good breakfast. Parking was cheap through the hotel. First night free then £2 for the following 24 hours. We would definitely stay here again.
The hotel is close to the harbour and old Portsmouth. I had dinner at the hotel on one evening and that was excellent. It is also close to the railway station- which was useful. Breakfast was a buffet which was good although the same every day.
The most important point make me come again is the location. This is not the first or last time for me in this lovely hotel, it’s my only one distinction in Portsmouth. Especially after the great renovation they did.
Comfortable bed and design typical of Ibis hotels which represent good value for money. Reasonably priced on site car parking for city centre location with bar and restaurant facilities.
A stop over for 1 night before sailing to the IOW. Lovely hotel, only 10 minutes or so from Portsmouth Harbour. Plenty of places to eat in and around the hotel. Staff were friendly.
Great location, perfect for visiting the old harbour attractions and Gunwharf Quays. Close to train Portsmouth Harbour train station, Isle of Wight ferry and ferry across to Gosport.
Very good customer service and friendly staff. The hotel is convenient and not too far from the main attractions in Portsmouth. The rooms are convenient and clean.
