Guest Reviews
Emplacement, petit déjeuner au top, facilité de stationnement, personnel adorable.
Room clean and very nice except cups too small
We are older people and we were put on top floor of the extension. We should have been asked/told.
Beautiful decor. Central location
Really uncomfortable bed and lumpy pillows. Room poorly laid out. No mirror above dressing table. The mirror was opposite the bed. No mini fridge. Plumbing not great (smelly drains). Breakfast was £17pp extra. Room cost was already expensive.
Paid parking expensive. Spaces too small. Tried to charge us twice for parking.
We weren’t asked how our stay was on checkout.
Nice big room, friendly staff, breakfast was great!
Was a little hard to figure out where the reception office was, but after asking, they pointed us in the right direction.
Excellent location, really short walk to the beach and to bars / restaurants in Southsea.
Rooms comfortable. Breakfast was good. Staff were all excellent and very helpful throughout.
On street parking which was a bit limited and on narrow streets so if you have a larger car it may be worth paying for the gated parking.
Rooms aren’t particularly sound proof - we could hear the TV and snoring from the next room!
Very local and very nice - warm welcome
Staff were very friendly. The property was clean and comfortable. Great location.
The breakfast was good and the size of the room was great. Furniture added to the room is lovely, decorated as pictured.
The parking, even though we paid for gated parking which was supplied trying to drag luggage to the room was a nuisance (on the day we checked in the guy on reception did help, however that may not always be the case.) Dragging luggage upstairs, again too much when travelling internationally. If there is a warning for this I missed it.
Towels and linen on beds are extremely dated and poor quality.
The breakfast was delicious and freshly cooked. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and a good size. We managed to park right outside in the street. Comfortable bed and nice chairs in the room. Buses to town very convenient.
On arrival from the outside it didn’t look great and we had to cross the road in rain for breakfast as we were in the rooms were on other side of the road.
Very little
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.
This hotel had everything we needed and in a great location
Our room was lovely and spacious, and the reception lady was very welcoming and hard working
Great location! Breakfast was fabulous!
Parking was available but very small spaces! Struggled to fit my car in!
Lovely large room - although on the ground floor facing a residential road it was very quiet. The bed was comfortable and the room at a good temperature. The breakfast was fantastic and the waiting staff couldn’t have done more to help.
Nothing
Great stop off hotel when disembarking from our ferry from Spain. We enjoyed our deluxe room (Room 6 in Somerset House) which was nicely decorated and clean. Breakfast was great quality and nice to be able to have our dog with us in the dining room. Staff we encountered were lovely.
We would stay again.
The bathroom tiles in the shower need a good deep clean - some signs of mould spots, especially around the window and on the ceiling.
The bathroom towels were a little threadbare.
On arrival the secure parking gate didn't shut and had to be closed manually by the staff. We were told it was broken but was being repaired. The gate was open again early the following morning. I've no objection to paying for secure parking, but this wasn't secure parking.
