Overall fair. Good location Shared shower room+ wc

Room 14 is so small, I could hardly move, avoid that room! Was also woken up by the woman (manager?) in room 15, over & over. She kept banging in & out of her room throughout the night. Woke me at midnight banging in and shouting loudly to someone. Again at 1am, now she was shouting on her phone speaker so loudly I could hear every word. Then again at 2am she was banging in & out. It was like a form of torture. Horrendous night next to her. Note: take slippers - the shared wc has a constant wet floor not good. But excellent location moments from the seafront, you won't find a better location. Plus good shared sit-in kitchen with facilities, and lots of free tea & coffee. The shared shower room was clean, with a good power shower. The room cost is low, so if you can cope with a shared bathroom and wet-floor shared wc, it's ok. For the price I'd say overall it's fair. But I definitely won't be staying there again.

Budget accommodation better suited for short stays

You need to be a heavy sleeper as the walls are thin. Bathroom, although shared, was clean. Staff were helpful and I was glad that parking was available. Kitchen facilities were basic so come prepared with your dishes, although a fridge is provided. The area itself doesn't offer much for the tourist but there is an award-winning beach nearby where the water quality means that it's not recommended for swimming at.

4 night stay

Lined clean and bed comfortable but room could do with a deep clean, especially the light fitting. Bathroom sink is so small as to be useless except for handwashing and as the porcelain suface is damaged should really be replaced for health reasons. Overall what one expects from a 2 star hotel.

Lovely hotel with a great warm welcome by very friendly and helpful staff. Very deceiving as bigger inside than you would think. Other guests seemed to be very polite and respectful. Room had everything I needed including a lovely bed that delivered an excellent nights sleep. Very easy and simple check in and check out process. Bathrooms and shared spaces were immaculate. In a great location too being so close the the seafront and plenty of places to pick from to eat out. Will certainly be returning. Thank you Southsea Rocks for an excellent service and delightful hotel.
