All staff were extremely pleasant easy to interact with. Nice breakfast at Keppel's Head was included."

Top Blue Reef Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Southsea Rocks Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed one night in a double room with en-suite lovely and clean, close to the seafront and a few shops. Would definitely stay again for a couple of days. Very reasonable price."

Holiday Inn Portsmouth by IHG

8/10 Good

"Rooms a little tired, great location. Bar was great as was the check in and out team. One big downside was breakfast. Quality is very low no fresh mushrooms or tomatoes, eggs not great and the veggie option sausages were frozen when delivered though the veggie bacon was good."

The Queens Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room is clean and nice. Staff is polite. Breakfast is very good. Location is good. Our room has nice sea view. We need to push open two or three heavy fire doors on our way from the elevator to our room. It was not easy to pull several pieces of luggage through these doors."

G Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay etc and area"

Q8 Boutique Hotel

Becketts Southsea

8/10 Good

"Location great, staff fantastic , especially the young gentleman who check us in, very professional ! Unfortunately we could t enjoy the bar as it was booked out for a party which was disappointing but a complimentary drink was offered. Stayed in room 1, and was lovely, great bed, lovely decoration, bathroom floor gets slippy so be careful , we did have an issue with the toilet not flushing, and the net curtain in the main window has a hole in it so needs replacing . Breakfast was ok rather than great, a choice of eggs and a bacon or sausage roll , personally I Like a full English when away on a trip . However overall the experience was good and we would stay again."
