ibis Portsmouth Centre

8/10 Good
"The Ibis is almost like two different hotels. Downstairs is stylish and well maintained. The rooms upstairs are quite basic and cramped. Air conditioning would be a big plus - desk fans are noisy and it's hard to sleep with one whirring away all night. I stayed in a twin room and found the beds rather narrow and the pillows flat. The low water pressure in the shower made a lengthy experience of trying to rinse shampoo from my hair! More than two towels in total would have been useful, as would a separate conditioner provided in the shower. But the hairdryer was vastly superior to those usually found in hotel rooms which was a nice surprise! Breakfast in the morning was fantastic. There was a great choice of different foods and everything looked nice and fresh. Cleanliness throughout the hotel was of a high standard and staff were pleasant and helpful. If a few upgrades were made, the Ibis would be an ideal stay for those tired travellers just off the ferry, and indeed everyone else needing a reasonably priced bed for the night. On the whole I would recommend it, just perhaps not in the heat of the summer."
