"Very clean hotel, good position, nice staff and served a great breakfast. "

"Very small room but comfy needed facilities to be able to sit and eat if wanted but no room to do so. Facilities very limited. Breakfast was amazing though and nice en-suite. Fabulous location too."

"The hotel is a striking and unusual building, very handsome, though we would have appreciated better signs - the rooms in the 400s, which had to be accessed through the library, were difficult to find when first arriving. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and we appreciated the location of the hotel, near the seafront sights (the Mary Rose museum, Nelson's flagship Victory, etc) and the ferry ports. Everything clean and well maintained."

"The room was comfortable enough if somewhat dated and tired. The shower was a bath with a shower attachment. The towels were very old frayed, and clean but in poor condition."

"Very good value for money. No frills, but clean and comfortable. "

"Great atmosphere. Enjoyed the traditional style British hotel. Great service."

"Beautiful setting, attentive, helpful staff, gorgeous room and fantastic food. View from the Riverside restaurant at breakfast was lovely. "
