ibis Portsmouth Centre

ibis Portsmouth Centre

10/10 Excellent
"We appreciated being allowed to check in early and being given a room on the top floor as requested in advance. We also particularly liked the quiet and walkable neighborhood, the proximity to the docks, the dining and relaxation areas, the complete breakfast, and several of the dinner selections which we enjoyed both of our 2 nights at the hotel. The only negative aspect was the extremely small size of our room in which we could barely open and make use of our luggage."
