4 out of 5

Nice old place in decent condition. Good deal.

Pros: Friendliness and helpfulness of the staff...especially Michael. Breakfast was very well done; there were several choices and all good. Good location.
Cons: I would say consistent Internet access and parking.
Location: Walking distance to town,the sea,and many restaurants.
Had issues with wifi but everything possible was done to correct them -even changing our room. However, service could not be maintained for long. Michael also help me connect with Wightlink ferry to arrange a crossing.

Comment from Hotel Management

Thank you for your review we appreciate your comments and respond as follows: The wifi was in full working condition but unfortunately your personal settings on your iphone and tablet was logging you out after a few minutes our tablet and iphone worked consistently but I could not help you with your settings and security. I offered to change your rooms to ensure you were able to log onto our master system but again your personal setting prevented this from operating in the correct manner. The car park is located at the rear of the hotel and has ample parking for 16 cars the access is tight but we are able to fit white vans for the commercial market in the car park. I am pleased you enjoyed the breakfast and it was a pleasure catering for you and hope you made your connection in Portsmouth ok.
