Unreliable staff, room had water...

Liked: Nice decor, comfy bed, good bathroom
Disliked: Roof leaking with mould on the room ceiling. Water dripping into the room throughout the night.When I reported this to staff in the morning, they were dismissive and implied it was my fault. "You should have come down (at 3:30am) and told us. We would have attempted to move to you a different room. All we can do now is apologise."Manager on site said they would have the property owner contact me, but this has not happened.Booking.com were also unable to contact the property owner. No idea what is happening now. Very poor. Do not recommend.

Very good

Liked: Very nice location very near the centre of Portsmouth. We had visited the historic docks and needed somewhere a short drive to stay. . quirky hotel accommodation in 3 old houses joined together just off the seafront at Southsea close to the sea front in Portsmouth. Spacious room very nice decor with restaurant attached. The staff were pleasant and I would recommend. A good find
Disliked: The parking in the area was tricky. Typical of any inner city area where lots of people live. We booked the parking which I would recommend but was extra and was quite a small parking slot. The house was a bit of a maze with narrow stairs. But typical of a converted old house.
