Food and Drink Options

The Cast Iron Bar & Grill serves up modern British dishes in the evening—perfect for a pre-show bite.

Breakfast is available in the morning, so you can refuel after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you're just a quick drive from Portsmouth’s buzzing bars, pubs, and music lounges. If you're in the mood to keep the night going, Gunwharf Quays offers plenty of late-night spots. Or, keep it low-key with a drink at the hotel bar.

What People Say

Guests praise the clean, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and the friendly staff. Many mention the hotel as a great stopover with easy motorway access and solid amenities. The quiet atmosphere also gets high marks from those recovering from a night out.
