Overall we had an excellent stay, fantastic location centra to outlet, dock yards, restaurants, Spinnaker tower and the ferry to IOW. On the first night we when we got to the room we noticed some dry paint shavings that had fallen from the ceiling to the floor, staff were happy to love us to another room and apologised. Wayne in particular was extremely helpful and friendly as were the other front of house and manager. Car parking was in gunwharf quays. For breakfast you’re allowed to take away food in brown bags or while paper boxes which was helpful. The rooms are standard with a clean kettle and bed but we loved our stay. Would recommend.

Excellent other than no toilet brush

Will never give a full rating when no toilet brush is in the room, i know you’ll say room service do it but my wife and I hate not having a brush to tidy up!

Great place to stay

Nice hotel for a one night stay within Gunwharf quays. Incredibly friendly staff, especially the reception guy who I think was called Lee. Parking is simple and free. Room is pretty basic but has all you need including a comfy bed and powerful shower. Some noise from the neighbouring room but nothing to disturb sleep. Breakfast was excellent. Tasty, plentiful with good ingredients. Stayed here before and wasn’t overly impressed but the improvement was very obvious and will use again soo.

Good hotel, cold breakfast

Mostly great stay although as with most places, buffet breakfast was cold and had been there ages. Hot holding doesn’t seem to be a priority.

Good hotel in excellent location

Good hotel with easy access to Gunwharf quays and the historic dockyard. Room was perfect for us and very clean. Bathroom a little small but I guess due to type of room.

Basic but exactly what you need - decent bed, good shower, solid breakfast. Parking is not clear but if you enter the shopping centre carpark (next door) the staff at reception can validate your ticket for you.
