Weekend away

Stayed here for two nights for a little weekend away as a couple. Our room was nice for what we paid for it. It is a small space not a great amount of places to put all of your clothes, so we had to keep some things in the suitcase under the bed, but as we were here for a couple of nights it doesn't really matter. Bed was firm and comfortable. The duvet was a bit weird more like a sheet than a duvet, but there is a heater if you get cold. The bathroom is super teeny so there is a lot of wiggling about if you're 6ft or just broad shouldered you would struggle. Good shower once you figure out the controls. Towels were great big and soft. The TV was not good Freeview only and hardly any channels worked. Our room was right at the front of the building and a cross the road is a nightclub, but we didn't hear much noise of it at all even though we read other people's complaints. The hotel bar was pretty decent some nice choices of drinks. Didn't eat here though so can't comment on the food. Some nice restaurants in the area and a few bars, but it is a student area. Easy distance to Gunwharf.

The stay was ok, lovely room, ideal location but the noise at night was dreadful. We were kept awake most of the night by people coming in very early hours of morning and making a lot of noise. In the end we got up and left at 5.30 am as it was impossible to sleep.

Exceeded expectations.

Our first child free night away in 5 years to celebrate a 40th birthday. We had stayed in an ibis in Sheffield before and didn’t have many strong feelings about it. It was good as a base, but nothing special. This one in Portsmouth was so lovely. From the fish tank in the lobby, & the very well priced drinks, it was perfect for us. The breakfast was very enjoyable, and the free pastry was such appreciated. We will very much be returning.
