Needs a good clean and refurbished
Pros:

Disappointing stay at this hotel. It is in desperate need of a refurbishment. We stayed for one night and were allocated a room on the ground floor. Cleanliness was not great. The bedding had stains on them that we had to ask to be changed. The shower cubicle could have done with a good clean as did the whole bathroom. Thankfully, only a one night stay.

Handy Hotel for Airport
Pros:

Very handy for airport but there is some noise of airplanes going over.
Reception ok not over pleasant.
Very clean spacious room, comfortable bed choice of pillows, tea coffee facilities.
Good hot shower but over bath not sure if they have walk in showers. hairdryer, iron available at reception.
Air conditioning wasn't working properly room quite cold as a frosty night.
Parking limited we got last space but it is free.
Would stay again if only for airport.

Not worth the cost
Pros:

A very comfortable good value place to stay to visit Portsmouth and the South Downs
Pros:

Excellent location in Horndean and off the motorway. Very easy to get to South Downs, and to visit Portsmouth.
Very comfortable hotel with easy parking and a warm welcome from staff. The bed was comfortable and there were good quality toiletries in the en suite shower room. Nice to have comfortable seating too. All spotlessly clean.
Excellent value, and nice to be able to walk into the town with choice of places to eat.

So welcoming - even at 2am
Pros:

We got stuck on a shut motorway for 3 hours. (Obviously my heart goes out to anyone involved in the accident, and their needs are far more important than ours.) Luckily we had booked Premier Inn for an overnight stop and they promise a 24 hour check-in so we didn't need to worry about the extra time waiting. And sure enough when we did arrive at 2am they were incredibly friendly and efficient. Hugely appreciated.

Our best Premier Inn stay yet – welcoming staff, amazing with the kids, and so helpful throughout!
Pros:

We stayed at Premier Inn Horndean as a family during the October break and had a fantastic experience. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and went out of their way to make our kids feel special, even giving them a Halloween pack each. They were always informative and happy to help. Thanks to the team, this has been our best Premier Inn stay ever – we can’t recommend it highly enough!

Extra fees charged on arrival without being notified in advance.
Pros:

Charged me an additional fee of £6 on arrival at reception without notifying me beforehand, so I was unaware of this charge.

Very comfy sleep
Pros:

Bed was super comfy. Room was cold heating didn’t work which was a problem for us with a baby in the room. Stain on the ceiling like there had been a leak and the shower is dated. But was okay for the money just the cold room I wasn’t happy with.
Also restaurant was closed for renos and the car park has construction going on but didn’t bother us as we only needed it to sleep and get ready in the morning for a wedding.

Good Experience
Pros:

Contracting away from home, the hotel is very clean and well presented rooms. At evening time the hotel is very quiet.
The Roebuck next door serves very good quality food and breakfast is good. Ann and the other staff members give outstanding service.

Good Hotel shame about the breakfast
Pros:

The Premier Inn was really clean & the plus room was well equipped. The rooms were nice and dark at night and quiet. Perfect location to stay when visiting our friends & Barton Grange with good easy access to main roads. The car park has plenty of free space.
However, the breakfast was not good in an adjacent chef and brewer. The pub needs a deep clean, lots of dust and was grubby. The crockery had clearly been through a dishwasher but not checked and was put out still dirty. There were no tongs to handle food with and also food listed not available e.g maple syrup and blueberry muffins, as well as the coffee not coming from a machine but from flasks which meant that it was hot as it should be. It's definitely not worth the money. In fact, I would question there hygiene rating based on what I observed.
I would definitely stay at the hotel again, but not have breakfast at the pub.

Mixed visit
Pros:

Room was absolutely fine; comfortable and clean and what you would expect from a premier inn.
We arrived quite late due to travelling for six hours and we received a frankly cold reception from the staff member on duty; no information given about breakfast, not even vague directions to our room and a general unfriendly disposition.

Clean, quiet, great breakfast and a great nights sleep
Pros:

Our third time in Portsmouth but our first time at this hotel. We asked for quiet room and were given one down the end of the corridor and had a great nights sleep. Breakfast much better than the one served at a much more expensive hotel we have stayed at while in P mouth. Lots of nice staff about, espcically at breakfast. great thank you
