Mary R, London, visiting Portsmouth Guildhall

The hotel was clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was lovely. We chose this hotel as it was near the Portsmouth Guildhall. We had tickets to see Bryan Ferry (unfortunately due to ill health he had to cancel). Will definitely use this hotel again when the concert is re-scheduled.

Liked: Friendly, helpful staff.
Disliked: Shower a bit small.

Great location, great staff.
