We were a 2 couples with 2 rooms given rooms on the third floor(top), and the rooms did not meet the description on the website. It indicated 5m2 for each room. Neither would have been that size! One room had window that would not close. Both rooms were very disappointing from comfort, including the pillows and the bed. We have large suitcases as travelling for 5-6weeks in UK, and the access and stairwell was very unsafe for transporting our luggage to and from the rooms. The location was good, within walking distance to eateries and shopping, and areas of historic interest. Rooms were reasonably cleans, and we expected some dust and dirt as an old building. The parking availability, even with the paid permit. was not within easy walking distance for transporting luggage. We were grateful to have accommodation in Portsmouth wharf vicinity.

We were in room 16 in the converted cottage at the back and it had low standard of construction, no sound proofing, and a low standard of cleaning, particularly in the shower room. Staff were very unhelpful on checkout as they refused point blank to interact with us. Gobsmacking!

Good location and clean, but noisy floorboards

The hotel was easy to find, and we had no problems parking on the street nearby and using the parking pass at £5 a day. We stayed in a recently built annexe (2002?) behind the main hotel, which was a house divided into 4 rooms, 2 on the ground and 2 above. It was clean, with a comfortable bed and the area was quiet, so no problems getting to sleep. The issue we had was that the floor above was very creaky, and they did a lot of walking around starting from 7am. We didn't hear any other noise e.g. talking or TV, so just a specific issue with the floorboards. If you are staying in the annexe, I would recommend that you ask for the upper floor. It is a short walk to Spice Island and Gunwharf Quays, and there were some excellent pubs and restaurants nearby. I can especially recommend the French restaurant "Chambers", where we had an evening meal and breakfast.

This was the 2nd time staying here and unfortunately we got the same room number 17. To use the shower you need to kneel in the bath, the toilet was constantly making noises as though it was filling itself overnight, it was making the noise when we arrived, we did ask if we could change rooms but the very nice girl on reception said it would be another £20 (on checking their website the only room available was only £12 more than we had paid) we declined. Unfortunately we won't be staying here again
