Southsea

Excellent trip from parking in under ground car park before check in as arrived early and food was excellent it’s great value for money good selection of drinks at the bar and very clean pub the rooms were extremely clean and very comfortable beds

Stayed for 2nights on the Thursday and friday before mothers day with my partner for a little break. Overal really nice break staying in a plus room for the first-time. Lovely shower, arm chair, very useful mini fridge and a nespresso machine. Only issue i feel is that i felt a bit uncomfortable asking for additional pods as was unsure if the pods are treated the same as the nescafe sachets, teabags, sugars in reception or whether you only get 4 pods per stay. We had a meal deal at brewers fyre the first night, expecting 2 course dinner, drink and unlimted buffet breakfast, but this NOT the case. We were not advised that southsea premier no longer offers a buffet breakfast every day as the adverts suggest, but provide a Made To Order breakfast Monday to Friday and ONLY offer a buffet on the Saturday and Sunday. If we had of been advised this when checking in on Thursday we would not have bought the meal deal. The evening meal was really nice, but having communual sauce (ketchup and mayo in a large casserole dish you serve yourself) rather than a bottle is really poor i think and not the most hygienic. Breakfast however was really disappointing as I mentioned above as we were unaware that they (Southsea premier in) do not provide a daily buffet anymore Monday to Friday. We got our coffees sat down with some pastries and within 2 minuets Des (i guess floor manager) came bounding over, said so fast good morning, are you ready to order, ladys first do you want fried, scrambled or pouched eggs...i just stared and then said were not actually ready yet and then he said oh ok ill give you a couple of minutes then. I thought it was really unprofessional and too intense for friday morning at just before 9am. There are no menus anywhere to see what was available. So we had to go onto the premier in website to read off the menu what was available and then was prepare when another woman came over 3 minutes later (no word of a lie). What came out was not the usual breakfast we remember but a small, cool to luke warm, breakfast. Not a made to order breakfast piping hot. We speculated that they probably have just moved all the buffet style hot plates to the kitchen area and are dishing the breakfast up from there but behind closed doors in the kitchen counting out extactly what was requested. Im surprised the baked beans are counted out to the exact bean to "save of wastage" as Des had said. The stay was good, but would maybe opt out of breakfast or meal deal monday to friday.

The staff are so friendly and helpful and make you feel very valued. The room was very clean and tidy. Was excellent value for money. The restaurant has a wonderful selection of food and is so lovely to see the sea. Is so central to Southsea Pier and Gunman's Wharf

Reception staff absolutely lovely - makes such a difference. Lots of issues with the accommodation though. The bathroom light activates a very, very noisy fan and the net curtain fell off (cheap, plastic pole), also the main curtain came off the rail. This all made it feel bit of a shambles when there are good points. Bed comfy enough and shower worked well.

Nice comfortable room Internet wasn't great though Great proximity to beach fantastic views and short walks to the local town Restaurant was great for breakfast staff in there were very friendly and approachable Would return And would recommend to family and friends

Excellent stay as per usual, we was upgraded to a prem plus room and it had a fantastic view, special mention to Maria on reception who was delightful, breakfast next door at brewers fayre was very good, we will continue to stay here as the staff at the hotel and adjoining restaurant are very very nice and can’t do enough for you Thankyou
