Best Hotels near Portsmouth Harbour Railway Station, Portsmouth

No extra bed, no breakfast, but the environment and location are pretty good

The Ibis Budget Hotel, is a very basic hotel as implies in the name. It's convenient for the accessing the Ferry, town centre by bus. Fratton station with trains to London is less than a10min walk. There is no fancy trimmings here. The room was small, but clean. Offered a continental breakfast. Located in walking distance from supermarket and fast food restaurants. The Bus 1 goes from Gunwharf Ferry to the Southsea Pier; but be careful. This bus changes to a Bus 3 at the Southsea Pier. It carries on another hour plus towards Southampton etc. All in all, the hotel offered my family a good rest after a long day out. The bottom double bed was very comfortable. Perhaps the bunk bit is not best suited to a teenager.

I have just returned from a 3 night stay over last weekend. Check in was fine, staff prompt, courteous and very polite. The room was a single on the second floor and i was very impressed with the decor and layout. The room was spotless and maintained by housekeeping that way throughout my stay. It had a fridge, which was a godsend, kettle, complimentary tea and coffee and a nice flat screen above the bed. It did get hot due to the warm weather, unfortunately, you couldn't open the window's for fresh air more than an inch and that needs correcting. although there was a fan but its never the same as fresh air. The bed was very comfortable. I ate out at nights, so, i cannot judge the restaurant and breakfast was at £15 and included a lot of other peoples brats, so that was a no no for me and i gave it a swerve. The hotel itself is very grand and you can tell that a lot of money has been invested in it and still is and it is good to see. Furthermore, every time I came in to the hotel and went in or out of my room the staff always greeted me and wished me a good day or good evening. I have travelled to hotels all over the world and I cannot understand some of the negative reviews on here regarding this hotel. its nonsense from what i can see. So, My verdict : Highly recommended and I would certainly stay here again.

The word “quality” applies to the whole experience. We stayed in Room 2 in Somerset House. It was a lovely, large, tastefully decorated room and we were lucky enough to get an off road parking space next to it. The food was excellent, both the breakfast (I particularly liked the Avocado Smash), and Dinner, which we were lucky enough to be able to have outside in the garden. My only suggestion would be to make the offering easier to understand on the website. There are several different buildings/rooms to choose from, mostly called Florence something or other, and it took a long phone call with the excellent Ellie, to work out what was best for me. Without her friendly and knowledgable help I couldn’t have done that. The irony is that after I’d booked I received an email giving me lots of useful information, including a site map, that would have been very useful when booking.

What a horrible person on reception when we arrived late off the ferry. Rude, disinterested, disobliging, inconsiderate. Treated us like a really stupid inconvenience. In spite of the fact that this was an advance booking, so our arrival should not have been a surprise nuisance for her. This, overlaid by the hotel's very complicated financial systems which involve taking a LOT of money from your credit card that you do not owe and only paying it back when you leave, will make sure that we will never never set foot in a Marriott again. AND, dear readers, if you don't want to join their Bonvoy (which I assume is a marketing abbreviation for Bon Voyage aka happy times ha ha) you have to pay £12 to get WiFi. Actually a lot of the staff were really sweet, what a shame they have to share a review with that awful receptionist. This comment will make no difference whatsoever to anything, but it makes me feel better and I hope it will encourage people to look elsewhere. There are alternatives ..............

I read a few negative reviews before arriving here and I was a bit worried about how my stay would go. I have to say all of theses reviews were proved wrong. We had a really good stay. Staff were friendly and helpful and the reception staff especially were constantly working on reception, in the bar and helping clear after meals and breakfast. Our room was very clean and convenient. The only issue is the separate charge for parking. Having to pay on a machine at a hotel is unusual and unnecessary.

I chose this hotel as I wanted a romantic getaway for my husband and me to celebrate 10 years of togetherness. This suited our needs perfectly, it's made for couples and this was prevalent in the breakfast room the following morning, bar one person eating on his own, all of us were couples. The hotel is gorgeous, well-maintained and glad to say, spotlessly clean. All rooms are labelled ”G for....” and each room had a adjective beginning with ”G”. Ours was at the top, ”G for...gushing”. The room was spotless, as was the bathroom. The decor was contemporary, bright and everything matched. The lounge area was ”Instagrammable”; tastefully furnished, with a couple of pod-like swing chairs suspended from the ceiling. I just had to take a couple of pictures. There was also a garden around the back which we didn't get the chance to enjoy. Breakfast the next morning was lovely: I love that there was a choice of the small full English breakfast, which I had, and the big full English breakfast, which my husband had. I wish more B&Bs adopted that idea. I don't eat as much as my husband and it was nice to enjoy the same food he did for a change, but on a smaller scale. The hotel is just across the road from Canoe Lake and you can cut through it to the beach, pier and restaurants. All in all it was an absolutely lovely stay and we would come back again, no hesitation.

Excellent
