The hotel offers rooms with a view over the harbor, but they are slightly smaller and not as modern as the bathrooms. The location is excellent, being right across from the train station and very close to the harbor, Portsmouth Historic Docks, and Gunwharf Quays shopping center. The dining experience includes enough coffee and tea, catering for vegetarians with homemade yogurt. The service provides a welcome drink, and the facilities are well-equipped. However, there is a desire for a kettle in the rooms.
