The Spotlight on ibis budget Portsmouth

Budget-Friendly Comfort Close to the Music

Modern and no-fuss, ibis budget Portsmouth is a wallet-friendly base just a short drive from Portsmouth city centre and Southsea’s beachside vibes. With vibrant, contemporary rooms and all the essentials you need, it’s a smart choice for concert-goers who want to stay near the action without blowing their budget.
Located only 3 minutes’ walk from Fratton Park and around 7 minutes’ drive to Portsmouth’s iconic Spinnaker Tower, this clean and simple hotel puts you in the heart of the city’s music and entertainment scene.

Why Concert-goers love it

One of the biggest perks is how close it is to major venues—you can walk to Fratton Park or take a quick cab to the city’s top music spots. The hotel’s late check-out at 12:00 means you can sleep in after a night of loud encores. While you won’t find luxury extras, it’s a quiet place to crash with free Wi-Fi to upload your concert pics before bed.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to save cash and stay central
  • Solo travelers on a music pilgrimage
  • Couples doing a budget weekend getaway
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery
  • Budget-conscious music fans who’d rather spend on merch than rooms

Food and Drink Options

A continental breakfast buffet is available each morning – great after a late night. While there’s no restaurant or bar on-site, you’re just minutes from local pubs and eateries around Fratton and Southsea. Plus, you can grab unlimited hot drinks and juices in the breakfast area for an additional charge.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more sleep-focused, it’s close to Portsmouth’s buzzing bar scene. Hop in a cab or take a short walk to find local pubs, cocktail lounges, and live music bars around Albert Road or the seafront.

What People Say

Guests love the cleanliness, friendly staff, and great value for money. Reviews highlight the hotel’s excellent location for events and easy parking options. Most agree it's a solid choice for a quick stay before or after a gig.

Areas for Improvement

The rooms are compact and no-frills, and the parking is limited—so arrive early or be ready to use the overflow lot. There's no lift, so those with heavy bags might want to request a ground floor room.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a Portsmouth concert and want a simple, affordable place to rest your head, ibis budget Portsmouth hits all the right notes.

Exceptional - 5.0 out of 5

Kathryn, Reading, visiting Wedgewood Rooms Portsmouth Fri, 10 March 2023

The check in staff were welcoming and friendly. From the moment I arrived, nothing was too much trouble; they even asked how the gig was when I returned. The room was spotlessly clean and the shower was lovely. Hotel was in a location convenient to Wedgewood Rooms and very close to Fratton Railway Station.

Liked: The check in staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was spotlessly clean.
Disliked: Nothing.

Quinton W, Exeter, visiting Kings Theatre Portsmouth

Nice hotel and did what it said 'on the tin'. Good location for us and stayed two nights. Thank you.

Liked: Staff were helpful (as we needed to rearrange our check in - needed an early check in but didn't know until 12 hours earlier that this was required.) We paid the £10 and checked in 2 hours early.
Disliked: Would like to have seen a kettle in the room, even if we had to provide coffee, milk, cups etc.

Awful hotel. Prison vibes

Liked: Not much. Get what you pay for if what you pay for is a prison experience. The room was one of the worst I've ever stayed in. Was also conned out of breakfast as was told on check in that I didn't have breakfast booked and it would cost £8.50pp to have it but I realised after our stay that I had booked and paid for breakfast. I complained and was refused a refund for the breakfast and told to complain to Booking.com. even though it was their staff that told me I didn't have it booked.
Disliked: Just an awful hotel. Would never stay here again. Smell of weed on the ground floor which appeared to be wholly occupied by the applicants of the local councils Homelessness team. I suspect it's used as emergency accommodation. The room was bare, sink and shower is in the room, as in next to the bed, and a separate small cupboard houses the toilet. It was handy for the ferry the next morning but you couldn't pay me to stay here again.
