Reasonable value. ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Claire May 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service I was disappointed at the lack of "extras", which I had expected for the price I paid. This was booked as a surprise for my husband, and was expecting more of a " wow", which was embarrassing. The room was pleasant, but not worth the high price, I'm sorry to say. The pillows were hard and lumpy, and the beverage selection quite poor, with only sachets of coffee and milk. This doesn't make me happy to leave negative comments, but as this was supposed to be a special trip, I feel I need to have my say. ##### Claire Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Angela Jul 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Ideale Lage,optimierungsbedürftige Maintenance Gute fußläufige Lage zu Meer und Zentrum. Leider war der Frühstückservice z. T. arg demotiviert und gleichgültig. Wünschenswert wären auch Trinkwasser im Zimmer sowie eine sorgfältigere Zimmerreinigung, die bemerkt, dass das Waschbecken anscheinend bereits länger leckt und der Unterschrank komplett durchnässt ist. Der unangenehme Feuchtigkeitsgeruch im Bad scheint dem Personal längerfristig entgangen zu sein. ##### Angela Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon Aug 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hotel.

The rooms were spacious and the bathroom was very nice. Good hot shower and the room was serviced. The food for breakfast was really good. We had family join us for breakfast and they were very impressed. The only negatives were the very limited parking on the streets nearby and the fact that the room had a small wardrobe but no luggage rack or anything else so we had bags suitcase and shoes just laying around the room. More storage would have been nice. Overall though excellent and very quiet. We will stay again we we are next visiting Southsea. ##### Janis Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### pauline Apr 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel was very clean large room very nice stay. only negative was charged 3 50 for bottle of water which could have been out of tap not a sealed top.

The room was spacious and comfortable as was the bathroom. The only negative was the size of the separate toilet, which was very cramped. ##### Nicholas Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Malcolm Jun 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely stay at Somerset House.

Whilst the structure of the buildings poses some constraints the staff and management overcome this with a great work ethic and service standard. I would look forward to staying again when visiting Portsmouth. :-) ##### Joseph Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Brian May 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Pleasant guest house. ##### Brian Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect Southsea stay My husband and I have just returned from an overnight stay at Somerset House, so we could go to a gig locally at the Wedgewood rooms. The whole experience was seamless and could not have been more perfect. We had a beautiful ground floor room, with a king size bed, luxurious furnishings and lovely bathroom. When we checked in the receptionist was amazing, gave me the permit, took our booking for breakfast and even moved our checkout time a little for a work meeting I needed privacy for ...she even went as far as to walk with us to our room and explain the WiFi and access process. The building felt so secure and the location was so so quiet. We also had breakfast included with the price of our room, so much choice and gorgeous food. In all honesty, we wished we had stayed longer, it was just such a wonderful experience and will definitely be staying again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucy Apr 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Convenient location in Southsea & friendly staff ##### Lucy Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Savannah](https://www.expedia.ca/Savannah-Hotels.d6034190.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels.d178293.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Airdrie](https://www.expedia.ca/Airdrie-Hotels.d56814.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178245-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dominican Republic](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Dominican-Republic.d50.Hotel-Destinations) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Free Airport Shuttle in Barcelona](https://www.expedia.ca/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Airport-Shuttle.0-0-d179992-tHotelswithFreeAirportShuttle.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Westin Trillium House, Blue Mountain](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Westin-Trillium-House.h1357075.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson, Calgary Airport North, AB](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson.h13056158.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Windsor-Hotels.d6127335.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yhz/toronto-to-halifax) > > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Cruise > [MSC Cruises](https://www.expedia.ca/MSC-Cruises.cMS.Cruise-Line-Info) ### Packages > [Delta Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Delta.d6913.Destination-Travel-Guides)
