simple sea stay
helpful staffsea glimpselate checkoutslippery steps
my room faced the front of the building, it had a glimpse of the sea through the trees. carolina contacted me before my stay, she even allowed a late checkout by an hour.
the slippery marble steps at the entrance needed extra caution, especially in wet weather. the handrail outside the steps felt loose, i couldn't fully rely on it for support. this made entering and exiting the building a bit uneasy.

the breakfast restaurant requires quite a walk from the rooms, it is located in a separate building. breakfast cost an additional £10. the tea and coffee provided in the room felt basic, with inexpensive biscuits included.

My 'Superior Double Room' overlooked some residential flats. I felt a bit like i was in a cupboard. There were loads of cigarette butts right outside the window. Plus, i noticed a very noisy overspill when other guests showered.

I found the location excellent near the Southsea common and promenade. Some excellent bars and restaurants were only a short walk away. The rooms were clean and spacious which I liked. I also thought it was excellent value for money.
I noted that the room we stayed in had only a door between it and the other room. The noise from the next room was quite audible. The room felt small to me.
