Hotels near Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, Portsmouth

I booked this from other recommendations - and can agree its a really lovely hotel. I booked it to go and see my son who is Portsmouth Uni. It was his birthday, so I organised for us to have the Sunday and Sunday evening. Its part of a group of hotels in a small radius of each other. Parking was ok, as I managed to get a spot in their car park. Room was great - very spacious. Very clean and bed very comfortable. No noise at all from the road or other residents. We had a great evening at the local gastro pub (Florence Arms) - definitely go there. I needed to work on the Monday - and they allowed me to use the dining room at no expense... that is true customer service and that personal touch... well done! Highly recommended...

The word “quality” applies to the whole experience. We stayed in Room 2 in Somerset House. It was a lovely, large, tastefully decorated room and we were lucky enough to get an off road parking space next to it. The food was excellent, both the breakfast (I particularly liked the Avocado Smash), and Dinner, which we were lucky enough to be able to have outside in the garden. My only suggestion would be to make the offering easier to understand on the website. There are several different buildings/rooms to choose from, mostly called Florence something or other, and it took a long phone call with the excellent Ellie, to work out what was best for me. Without her friendly and knowledgable help I couldn’t have done that. The irony is that after I’d booked I received an email giving me lots of useful information, including a site map, that would have been very useful when booking.

We stayed here for two nights to visit the historic dockyard before moving onto the Isle if Wight, we booked it through Booking dot com. We had a luxury room on the ground floor which had just been finished. First I'd like to mention the staff and service; from checking in to checking out the staff we interacted with were polite, very helpful and friendly, nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Breakfast service was good with a wide selection to choose form, hot food is cooked to order so not particularly quick when busy but still far superior to a buffet style. Our room, Gracious, is on the ground floor at the front of the property, our initial concerns about road noise and being next to the hotel entrance were happily unfounded. The ensuite bathroom is huge, with a spa bath at one end and a double shower enclosure at the other. The bed is large, probably super king-size?, and comfortable, there is a small dressing table and wardrobe and a soft chair. Everything was spotlessly clean. We had no complaints at all but there a few things that management may want to consider going forward; there is a large flat screen smart tv mounted on the wall above the dressing table which makes it difficult to watch from the bed being at 90° to the wall. There was an issue getting a reliable service on the TV which staff tried to resolve during our stay; there was also an intermittent issue with the WiFi dropping in and out. We found the shower water pressure on the low side but forgot to mention this before we left. Location is good, 5 minute walk to the nearest restaraunts on Albert Road or a 10 minute bus ride into Portsmouths Gunwharf Quay, the bus stops right outside the hotel. We would definitely stay again

Lovely couple of nights stay, flawless service, no humps, no bumps, friendly team throughout the facilities. Room service after the first night, clean restaurant, clean corridors, English breakfast, very well organised pool and gym. Line swimming is a bonus

I read a few negative reviews before arriving here and I was a bit worried about how my stay would go. I have to say all of theses reviews were proved wrong. We had a really good stay. Staff were friendly and helpful and the reception staff especially were constantly working on reception, in the bar and helping clear after meals and breakfast. Our room was very clean and convenient. The only issue is the separate charge for parking. Having to pay on a machine at a hotel is unusual and unnecessary.

Sometimes you get annoying guests. It happens. But the front desk dealt with it swiftly and without fuss. I just asked if they had an alternative room on the same floor to ensure I could get the rest I needed, but they upgraded me and offered help to relocate my belongings. Dealt with so deftly, an unexpected classy touch. Buffet breakfast was very good, freshly served and hot. I saw some reviews to the contrary, but couldn't fault it. Nice surroundings and bar area had a nice atmosphere. Ideal location for being just a short hop away from the harbour area. VG overall experience and would definitely return. Thank you.

Very conveniently positioned, a short walk away from the beach and the esplanade, but better value than the hotels on the seafront. Checking in was a quick and simple process, and the room was pleasant and clean, however, the decoration does require some TLC, including a paper sign that was torn and half off the wall where it was originally attached. A minor issue, but replacing it would take minutes, and it would immediately give a better first impression. The sink was in the room (not in the bathroom) but it was making the best use of the space available, Breakfast was fresh and served quickly, with unlimited self-service cereal, juice, and tea/coffee available. I would not hesitate in staying here again.

We stayed here for a few days on our first visit to the isle of wight with our two dogs. The hotel was just what we wanted in a great location in Newport. The staff were excellent particularly Chrissy, Doreen, kerry Lily and Sophie. They made us very welcome and even allowed to dogs into the restaurant. We had breakfast every day and dinner most days and all was very good. Would happily stay there again.
