Good location and nice setting. Rooms were very clean
Rooms were rather small for the price
Stayed here many times for work, very comfortable cosy rooms, friendly staff, fabulous breakfast and great location
Nothing!

Tolles Zimmer, super eingerichtet

Excellent bereakfast
Lovely little hotel. Nicely decorated and the dining room was beautifully decorated! Excellent breakfast beautifully presented.
Noisy extractor fan in bathroom.
We enjoyed and cup of tea on arrival, evening meal and breakfast the next day. The quality of the food was excellent and would certainly recommend the hotel and the Blooms tearoom for service and value for money. This was our second visit and totally satisfied each time.
Nothing comes to mind
Friendly efficient staff. Clean, comfortable bed, great shower. Delicious hot breakfast and good coffee. Parking on site.
A wonderful find in Emsworth. The room was very quaint and comfortable with everything you would need. Paula was marvellous, extremely friendly and helpful. Blooms restaurant on site was incredible. I would give it a 6 star rating . Sam, her staff and chef were fantastic. The best breakfasts I have ever tasted The property is very conveniently located as well with free and ample parking on site.
There is nothing to dislike.
The location, staff, room, service and check-in/out times
Nothing
Staff very helpful. Good breakfast .Very convenient as a family wake was held in the function room. Able to use room to change before service.
Room was compact but good for a one night stay
The reception staff were lovely really friendly, the room was quite and clean, tea and coffee in the room was topped up each morning. The cake in the cafe were wonderful
The beakfast staff the first morning were a little blunt but they were very busy. The quilt on the bed had been washed and was in big clumps so not very comfortable. The dinner menu was all to spicy for me it would have been good to have one fish option .
Breakfast was great . The room was stunning and the staff friendly. Loved the food we had pastries and the yogurt parfait which was delicious. Nice to be offered a choice of coffees.
Larger bathroom with bigger shower would have been good. Beds were quite soft.
Location ideal for family visit.Clean,good breakfast,friendly helpful staff.
No fridge/mini bar.
The attached Blooms restaurant was excellent. Beautiful decor, wonderful food and attentive friendly staff. A bonus to be able to have a reasonably priced evening meal or afternoon tea on site as well as the excellent breakfast. The welcome on arrival was friendly and put us at our ease immediately. Check in was very straightforward and parking effortless. There was plenty of outdoor seating outside the property which was welcome during the heatwave.
Our room was very hot on arrival due to the exceptionally hot weather but the windows could be opened fully to get a draught through. It would have been useful to have a fan provided in the room but it was cool enough to sleep.
Room very small for 2 guests
Clean, quiet, superb breakfast
Slight issue with the heat and no air con but a fan was provided
Had a lovely welcome, as a sole traveller I felt safe.
Nothing
Food was acceptable although my friend’s meal came to the table burnt and not edible.
Everywhere was extremely hot. The beds had winter weight duvets on which made sleeping impossible.
I’ve stayed at The Emsworth before and it’s usually the first place I look for whenever I need to stay in the area. Unfortunately, this stay wasn’t a great experience and, for the price point, I really don’t think the experience matches what you’re paying. 4/10. I was staying in “The Lodge”, which is two doors down from the main hotel. This was my first gripe as breakfast is served in the main building. It meant leaving The Lodge and walking down the road in my comfies with leave-in conditioner in my hair, which isn’t exactly how I want to present myself to the general public first thing in the morning! The restaurant is now also open to the public, which I completely understand is great for the business, but it was very busy at breakfast and I felt quite self-conscious walking through like that. Breakfast looked really well presented, but unfortunately the sausages were horrible. They had a strange, grainy texture and I ended up leaving the breakfast altogether, which was disappointing. The room itself felt tired and generally uncomfortable. The carpets could do with a thorough vacuum and clean, and the hallway also looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed for a while. With the unusually hot weather we’ve been having, I think the rooms would really benefit from fixed air conditioning/heating. I had to sleep with the window open because of the heat, but being on a main road meant dealing with traffic noise throughout the night. Unfortunately, the sleep itself was probably a 2/10. I found both the mattress and pillows extremely uncomfortable. In fairness to the staff, I’m sure they may have been able to do something about the pillows had I asked. The bathroom is very basic and the shower drainage was extremely slow. By the end of my shower I was standing in a pool of my own shower water, which wasn’t particularly pleasant.
It was all wonderful - with the couple of reservations I have put below. The staff were all efficient ad delightful, dinner was very good and so was breakfast. The bedroom was not spacious but was very clean, attractive and comfortable.
I would have liked the option of a sheet and blanket or a very light weight duvet. A heavy diver was no use in the heatwave! I was fine in a quiet room but would not have liked a room at the front on the quite busy road.
Great decor amazing breakfast!
N/a
It had an old fashioned feel whilst being up to date in facilities. Friendly staff. Very clean and comfortable with pink, floral dining room, bar and health facilities.
All excellent. The hotel is on a quiet attractive main road, 18 minutes walk from Emsworth High Street and restaurants so that might not suit some but out of town is alright with me. A short drive. The hotel does an evening meal as well as breakfast.
Staff and rooms were fabulous
shower did nt drain well
I thought the restaurant blossoms was very very good
Nothing
Was expecting a single room (not unlike a single room i had near Rome's railway terminal once) and was delightedly surprised to have a lovely double with a well stocked tea tray - Thank you!
Nothing comes to mind - maybe a bottle of water in the room - but if that's all i can come up with - they're doing a great job! Oh and i couldn't work out how to work the lights over the sink.
Superb friendly and welcoming staff. Breakfast was outstanding.
Nice and quiet, good car parking, friendly and helpful staff, spotlessly clean, good shower
Unfortunately we visited during a heatwave so the room was hot. A room fan was provided which helped.
The staff were all helpful and friendly. Our breakfast was good with a reasonable choice of items and good service, but the evening meals were highly variable.
We were disappointed with the food in the restaurant in the evening. The standard of different dishes was variable e.g. the red curry was good but the chicken snietzel was awful. We had booked this hotel because we understood the restaurant was good quality. Double and single rooms were small.

Room fine, resatuarent brilliant. Garden lovely and good parking. Breakfast amazing.
Issue was limited bathroom and in fact at 1100 when I came back to the room to shower before my wedding there was no water. No adequate water coming out of the shower a dribble that meant i couldnt have a shower!
Have stopped at what used to called Jingles many yrs ago and always been pleased with our stay. The last stay our bedroom was quite small and the bed also, very clean and tidy and the breakfast outstanding.
Just the small room and bed.
The property is very nice and clean and the food is very good. It’s in a great position, out of Emsworth centre so it’s lovely and quiet yet only a mile to walk into the centre. Staff are all lovely and friendly.
The only downside really is the size of the rooms, very tiny.
Super friendly staff. Excellent food in Blooms restaurant as well as a superb breakfast
Could have done with air conditioning as the rooms were quite warm due to weather conditions
Breakfast was great, as was parking and location. Room was a bit small
Perhaps a little bit pricey for what it was but there isn't many around in that area.
Location. Friendly staff. Good food
Small room
Property really nice. Rooms comfortable.
Nothing. Everything lovely

The room and the bathroom were tiny.

Nice quiet comfortable hotel, lovely staff. Very relaxing.
Nothing
The friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were excellent. The facilities were good. The room was quiet.
Air conditioning in the rooms as it was very hot!
Nothing especially
Small bed, tiny room with a minuscule shower room. We aren’t big people but we could only sidle past the end of the bed, it’s impossible to stand in front of the hand basin. Woken by workmen starting noisy tools at 6.15a.m. on a Saturday within the hotel.
Comfortable and ideally placed
Food, hotel locations and staff were excellent. Quality of the food was better than expected and they did their best to cater for our allergy requirements
Could have done with a king size bed as we like the space.
Excellent breakfast and delicious coffee served by a lovely young girl who was a delight. All the staff were Very friendly and helpful.
It was very hot during our stay, an unusual 34+ degrees so air con would have been nice but we were given a fan for our room which was a help.
Large comfortable room, friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Plenty of parking.
Nothing.
The breakfast was absolutely great as were the drinks and snacks at other times. It was the staff who made out trip. Happy to do anything food wise. Nothing too much trouble. Good teamwork at busy breakfast time. I shall definitely stay there again when in the area.
Very hot in the excessive heatwave this weekend in the bedroom but a fan was provided.
Fabulous hotel , very welcoming and efficient staff ; beautiful lounge bar and also double room . Breakfast was excellent and location only 5 minutes drive into Emsworth high street . Definitely would come back .
Nothing
Good value - rooms clean and bed comfortable - but extreme heat made fan useless - so sleep difficult. Breakfast offer good - but too much sweet stuff - perhaps go more continental - cheese , fresh fruit. Too many fake flowers- too nail salon! Staff very welcoming and helpful.
See above
Friendly staff, excellent dinner, reasonable value
Room fan was ineffective; room was cramped for three people with luggage; breakfast was extremely slow service.
Very nice clean,comfortable hotel. The breakfast and evening meal was excellent. The staff were absolutely fantastic.
Nothing.
Een hotel wat kennelijk van dames is en ook door dames gerund wordt. Alles zeer schoon en zeer efficiënt. Wij maakten op de motoren een rondreis door Zuid Engeland en hadden een diversiteit aan overnachtingen geboekt. Deze stak er toch wel bovenuit. Mooie schone kamers en douches. Heerlijk dineren in de achtertuin en in de ochtend een ontbijt die je kiest op de menukaart en dan wordt geserveerd. Geen gegraai in bakken aan een buffet. Prima geregeld.
Eigenlijk niets.
Nice clean room, great customer service and good breakfast
Air conditioning
Very friendly, super clean and great coffee and breakfast. I stayed here for work so appreciated the early breakfast start too!
Comfortable room, a bit small but adequate for 1 person, and extremely good value. Lovely staff, excellent breakfast coked to order. Very clean and well organised.
In the early days of the heatwave, the room was unbearably hot, but obviously not their fault!
Lovely welcome when we arrived. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Lots of coffee etc in the room. There was a good choice for breakfast and the portion size was good. Ample amount of parking.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Excellent parking facilities. We asked for a downstairs twin room and this was very comfortable and convenient for the restaurant. No noise. We ate our evening meal and breakfast in Blooms. Again lovely friendly staff. Excellent food and very good value. Excellent breakfast that was included in the room cost. I would definitely recommend and stay here again
Nothing - we were more than happy
Quiet and comfortable
Shower pressure was variable
Great location good breakfast
Beds uncomfortable
One of the best breakfast I have ever had, room was small but functional and clean
No USB charging points, all sockets were low level i had to crawl under he desk to plug my laptop and phone charging adapter in
Only stayed for one night while working in the area. Great value rooms, friendly staff, plenty of leaking and an excellent breakfast.
Room was very good, breakfast also very good. Staff were very helpful and pleasant.
The mattresses were a bit hard for our liking, but that might not be the case for everyone?
Good location, nice personnel, good breakfast and restaurant.
The lodge is noisy and there was no WiFi in my room
Great parking very clean
Room too cramped and bathroom tiny
We liked everything, from our room to the staff. I would like to return again and stay a little longer. Dining at the hotel was amazing.
We didn't like leaving 😁
The dining facilities, excellent food and presentation of such and super staff -all very welcoming, polite and efficient. I did use the gym too which was another unexpected and great facility.
Our room was very small but we were a late booking so, we were happy to get a room at the hotel and all the other facilities made up for a small room!
Very good breakfast. Very friendly and efficient waitress. Good parking area. Very quiet overnight.
The bedroom and bathroom were small and cramped. The quilt was very heavy, and too hot
Great hotel with excellent staff and fantastic breakfast
All was good there was nothing to complain about
A nice room and a good breakfast
Would benefit from air conditioning - the room was very hot
I liked the location.
It’s was old. Definitely needs a revamp!
Lovely staff, good breakfast, just what we needed for the stay.
Could have been a touch cleaner
The staff are first class, cheerful, approachable and very helpful. Breakfast was excellent.
The ensuite was very tight with possibly the smallest shower I have used . Room 10 is disappointing as a king luxury room doesn't cut it. The room is over the reception entrance adjoining the main road - noise is an issue a window needs to be open for air flow, a room to avoid.
The room was comfortable
It was a little bit away from the town
Freundlich. Frühstinbegriffen lecker
Mühsamer fussweg Hauptstraße zu hotel. Keine busverbindung. Hotel Zentrum ca 20-25 min kein Mineralwasser auf Zimmer. Wasser Automaten mit Pappenheim unten voll oben leer
Great location. Friendly staff
WOW, what a gorgeous hotel, everything was immaculate and so beautifully designed. I almost didn't have breakfast the next morning and am so glad I did! The restaurant is stunning, and the food was incredible! Will definitely stay again.
There was honestly nothing I didn't like. Everything has been thought of.
Beautifully decorated (especially the restaurant) and in a good location, very convenient. Staff were kind and polite, I received a warm welcome on arrival. I booked very last minute due to a booking mishap elsewhere (my own fault) and was accommodated quickly by the staff here.
My room was not very clean. There were cobwebs in the corners and several spiders (I quite like spiders so this was not awful for me, and the spiders were very polite and let me pick them up to put back outside) but I can see this being a big problem for other people. While the carpet itself was in good condition, the floor was not even/flat underneath and I did trip over an uneven floorboard (room 31).
Great decoration and attention to details
No AC in rooms
Great location with free parking. Hotel was clean and staff all friendly and helpful.

Absolutely brilliant and friendly staff
Parking was easy and breakfast very good. There was a good supply of tea and coffee in the room.
Comfortable and clean rooms, friendly staff. Rooms at Booking.com rates were reasonable. Good breakfast.
We used the restaurant one evening. Service was slow, and although the staff were friendly they seemed to need more training. It looked like they struggled with the numbers they had that evening.
Excellent breakfast also
The room was clean but not very spacious, much of the space taken up by the double bed. Tiny bathroom was well equipped. The breakfast was superb with several excellent cooked options.
Great staff comfortable accommodation. On site cafe lovely and welcoming
Comfortable room, great staff. ... smashing breakfast.
Shower in the bath made it a little slippery when getting in and out.
Ideal location for my needs, near the station. Very clean and comfortable, staff were lovely.
Liked everything. One tiny thing the bar closed at 9, being a solo traveller it would have been nice to relax and have a drink, instead I had to sit in my room.
The staff were excellent. The hotel had a nice feel about it.
The bedroom floor needed a better hoover; Didn’t like the decor in the restaurant not my taste though.
Charmant hôtel, calme, propre, bien équipé. Bonne literie. Petit déjeuner copieux et délicieux
All of it
Nothing
Stag incredibly helpful and friendly, rooms nicely decorated and cosy, breakfast was incredible. Room was very quiet, had a great night sleep.
Our only negative were the pillows were a bit worn, shower was ok.
Great food, clean comfortable room.
Staff and owners very welcoming, cooked breakfast was first class in a beautiful floral themed large room. Bedroom (room 38) with a double bed was very comfortable & clean. I had an excellent nights sleep
Shower in the bathroom needs an available to use anti slip mat, as the shower tray does not have an integral antislip surface. I was fine, recognising the risk, but aware others might not be, in the elderly age group. Would be useful to install an automatic bathroom extractor fan to remove moisture, as otherwise you need to open the small window, which then becomes a security hazard if you forget to close it later. Bathroom floor similarly has a very smooth tiled surface which needs signage at least to advise of the risk when stepping on.
the staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with a wide range of options and very helpful service.
The bedroom was smaller than we expected and felt slightly cramped. The location suited us well but without a car it would be difficult to access the sea and beaches.
