Top Old Portsmouth Hotel Reviews

Botleigh Grange Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Good breakfast menu, particularly the continental option but cooked breakfast wasn’t too good. It took ages to arrive and baked beans lukewarm, bacon undercooked and black pudding not very good."

New Place

8/10 Good

"The hotel is set in a lovely location and the main building is full of character. The bar area is a little small and getting served can take a while. Whilst the staff were very friendly and helpful, they seemed to be under a lot of pressure and not very well organised. The food was excellent but again the time it took was quite long in some cases. The tables could do with being numbered and the staff given a plan of the layout. The rooms were a little small and the lack of air conditioning made the rooms very hot and sticky. That said they were very well presented and clean. There was tea and coffee available but I think bottles of water would have been nice with a fridge to keep it cool especially when the weather is exceptionally hot. We had breakfast in the main dining room which was very well done and the range of food available was excellent. All in all this is worth considering as a good place to stay, with only small things letting it down which is a shame as it is a nice quiet place to stay."

ibis budget Southampton Centre

8/10 Good

"Check in was easy, and staff were helpful regarding parking. Room was clean and comfortable enough for a couple nights. Towels and wash gel provided. Nice to include a table fan because of the hot weather. Could have done with some more sockets in the room - only 2 sockets and one was used by the fan."
