A lovely hotel set up, and very reasonably priced. A nice clean room with a lovely spa bathroom. Great breakfast included in price. I would highly recommend to friends and would stay here again.
Liked: Friendly staff; lovely room (especially the bathroom); good breakfast.

Good...but could have been better.
Liked: The very helpful staff, the location, the food all good. Liked the quirkiness of the set up.Would come again ....
Disliked: The room was very basic although described as Executive. The tiniest wardrobe both in width and depth...clothes had to hang at an angle.Lack of drawers..only 3 small ones.. and surfaces to put anything. There was a very pretty console table but would have been much better if it was a chest of drawers. Nowhere for a woman to put face products etc.The bathroom extractor fan was insufficient. The bathroom felt constantly damp. The towels never dried and even the toilet roll felt dampish. Could be quite noisy too with doors banging.Apart from all this we did have an enjoyable stay and would return.

Great location, pet friendly well...
Liked: The hotel was pet friendly which was our reason for staying however we didnt feel that we were compromising on quality because we had a dog! The rooms and restaurant area were very well appointed. The staff went out of their way to be accommodating. The pre arranged secure parking was exactly that.; secure, safe and reasonably priced. There were allocated spaces with the guest name on. It was a pre-ferry overnight stop so no opportunity to try the restaurant. The seafront and promenade for walking were a stones throw away but the hotel was set one back from the main street so it was peaceful and quiet. Just 15 mins drive from Portsmouth ferry terminal.
Disliked: nothing

Lovely stay
Liked: Room was lovely and enormous, tons of space, wonderful shower, also tons of room. Parking straight opposite hotel. Staff really friendly and helpful. Very accommodating in request to change dates. Breakfast was great, although it did get very busy around 9am. Dinner also nice. Really close to restaurants and seafront.

It was a Terrace House....
Liked: Very little
Disliked: The description. Somerset House Hotel is NOT a hotel! It is at best a bed and breakfast. It was cramped, cold and was just a converted terrace house. The stove didn't work in the kitchen so all we got at breakfast was a pathetic, very small bowl of cereals, with a pot of coffee that had only been shown a coffee bean. The car parking I booked was useless and I had to park on the street, This was despite contacting the 'hotel' and making sure secure parking was available as my car was an expensive sports car that I did not want damaged.
