Portswood Vacation Packages

On site parking and easy access into town.

I was greeted warmly by a male receptionist. It was late as I had been to a concert at Romsey Abbey. Parking was difficult close to the hotel but found spaces in The Club area. My room was ok but needed a bit of modernising. Bathroom was more modern but had shower curtain rather than a screen. I personally prefer a walk in shower to a shower over the bath. The room was so hot. The window did open but still hot. A notice said keep bathroom door closed when using. I didn’t do that as I realised I couldn’t turn the door knob so if I had pushed the door closed I wouldn’t have been able to open it again! Breakfast was very good and the staff were very friendly.

Characterful property, though the most interesting downstairs spaces didnt seem to have much function - it felt like they were a corridor to the restaurant. We were in a modern ground floor room - pleasant but some fittings looked a bit tired. There was no aircon. We were charged almost £100 for dinner for 2 (without wine). Food ok but not special - i was not even offered a bread roll with my soup. Most other diners seemed to be families with rather noisy children - overall it felt somewhere between fine dining and a holiday camp. At check in i was pressed to book and pay for breakfast, which i did. Next morning i was told by restaurant staff that they had no record of my booking

The location of the hotel was ideal for my needs and parking easy. The staff at front desk and in the breakfast area were extremely supportive , courteous and helpful. Breakfast was coooked individually to an order and was excellent quality. Bedroom quite spacious and bathroom very clean. Some minor decor update needed but extremely good value for the quality.

My room 66 was at the top of 3/4 flights of stairs, the lift was only used for luggage. The room was hot,only a fan and small window.The weather was usually hot on 17 jul ,but due to roof gully no wind blows into room .If air con is your thing dont stay here..the shower had mildew stains around the join to the wall ,and could do with a chemical treatment. The owner said he was renovating, but this could be done now.Breakfast was well cooked, excellent bacon, No fresh bread rolls or fruit or cheese, only sliced bread for toast.For £120 a night I expected better. The reception lady was welcoming and helpful. The hotel is in a good central position for visiting the town and has an old world charm which was lovely. I would stay again but in a renovated room with air con or on a winter break
