A great place to stay!

Had an over night stay before we went on holiday. A lovely location, just 2 minutes from the beach. Guy Tony on reception was really helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Southsea Rocks is...Okay, that's it. Nothing special or outstanding about it I paid £104 for one night and feel I was seriously overcharged for what I got. The staff member who I interacted with to check in was nice and friendly. My assigned room was tiny, it had a bed, drawer unit with a TV perched on top and a fan. That was it. The room was like an oven, the bed had a dip in it and I just about managed to get some sleep. The shared bathrooms were clean but a little broken, one that I used had the sink coming off the wall, another had a split in the lino floor and the mirror was detached from the wall and left balancing awkwardly between the wall and soap dispenser. Parking was a lucky dip, they have about 5 spaces out front. I ended up parking out on the seafront. So to summarise, it was okay. I got some sleep, I showered I left, would I ever return? If in a pinch and the price was right, yeah sure.
