Acapulco Rooms

Most hotel comparison sites don't do the Acapulco Rooms justice. These rooms are a good little find. It is basically an unmanned small number of bedrooms. I stayed in the Grey Room. The rooms are named by colours rather than numbers. The main entrance is tucked away in Duncan Road. My room was clean and tidy. It had its own ensuite with bath and shower. There was a small window overlooking Albert Road. There is a kitchenette there for guests to use. I did not use it but it looked fine. It is a noisy area being on the busy and trendy Albert Road. Overall I thought it was very good and I would certainly stay there again. It was £34 for the night.

I guess that I should start this review with a question - "what do you expect for £43.50 early September in Portsmouth"? I needed to stop over in Portsmouth for a 2nd night - all the usual hotels I would try (Premier Inn, Ibis, Travel Lodge etc.) were really expensive so I thought that I would risk the Acapaulco Rooms. I have to be honest, I did not have a good stay. To be fair it was probably one of the hotest nights this summer and the room was like an oven - even with the window fully open, which also allowed all the street noise. I had the White Room on 1st floor, accessed by some really awkward stairs - Note that this is not a suitable location if you have any mobility issues. The room was otherwise, just about OK, shower was in the room but private toilet was on the landing, with the fear that I would end up locking myself out of the room in the middle of the night!! So, in summary, unfortunately, I did not enjoy my stay here :-(

Started a new job in Portsmouth and needed a room for a few days while i found some digs. My room was nicely decorated with an en suite shower room. The place was spotless. No complaints. It's above a Mexican restaurant. Good room, good price, I'd come back here again.

A long overdue visit to the Isle of Wight was the reason why I was staying in Portsmouth on the Friday night. The room was more than adequate for my needs. I walked from Portsmouth City Centre and the twenty minute walk gave me a bit of thinking time about the following day. Also within walking distance is a giant Tesco store at Fratton, right next to Fratton Park-the atmospheric home of Portsmouth FC. There is a bus that passes the location,run by First Solent and which is frequent enough. I would have little hesitation about booking again in the future and would be more than happy to recommend it
