Somerset House Boutique Hotel and Restaurant

The rooms were tastefully decorated

Room was very hot Hoover and bedding from Cleaner left outside the rooms in hallway should have been put away Walls very thin

The restaurant and breakfast in the morning the possibility to have a parking place was also a great value.

Our room was at street level, and the windows were not soundproof, so there was noise throughout the night and from 6 a.m. onwards.

Не такие комнаты как в описании не соответствует реальности

Upgraded to a large and lovely room on arrival in the main building - spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated in a quiet residential road. The bed was huge and very comfy - lovely en suite bathroom. The breakfast was as good as other travellers had said ! Check in staff helped us with parking and local knowledge. We would highly recommend to stay here as an independant hotel.

Breakfast option were great, and ideal location. Room was large and clean.

Needed a plug socket near the dressing table for my wife to use mirror while using hair dryer and straighteners.

Stunning, classy, fresh professional staff

Na

Das Haus war eigenlich schön. Die Lage und das Restaurant war auch schön. Aber...

Wir hatten das Zimmer 5 im Dachgeschoss. Einseitig Schräg, grüne dunkle Wände, Fenster ohne Aussicht, foliert. In der einen Hälfte des Zimmer kann, man nicht gerade stehen, Dachschräge! Bad, nur Badewanne (keine Dusche) 2 Dachfenster, foliert, beide ohne Aussicht zu hoch. Auch hier Dachschräge, in der Wanne kann Mann nicht stehen. Leider sieht man beim Buchen nicht welches Zimmer man bekommt. Es hat keine Klimaanlage, nur ein Lüfter. Siehe Fotos. Dieser wurde nie gereinigt. Das Frühstück war sehr bescheiden siehe Bilder. Abendessen konnten wir nicht, weil es ausgebucht war.

Położenie praktycznie nad morzem. Po drodze na plażę piękne kamienne ogrody.

Brak klimatyzacji.

Fantastic hotel, lovely large bedroom. Excellent breakfast. Staff outstanding.

Nothing

Lovely and clean

Staff food

Position. Very limited parking

Clean, tidy, staff very polite and helpful

We only stayed for one night and although the hotel gives you a parking permit, it’s a real pain driving the local streets trying to find a space!

The to kept losing signal. The carpet was filthy, it needed a good clean!

Hyggeligt.

Personeel was heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Lekkere kamer.

Good position.

No fridge in rooms.

Das Indische Buffet am Freitagabend war der Hammer.

-

Friendly and helpful staff. Great food and perfect location

The cleanliness, modern feel and style.

Location

Very clean and well located for the Kola venue which was the purpose of our visit.

Having really enjoyed a selection of starters before heading out in the evening we found the included buffet breakfast somewhat disappointing (especially the odd tasting scrambled egg). In future I would forgo the breakfast and have something from their lovely looking brunch menu if time permits.

The staff were very welcoming and the hotel met all our expectations.

All good

Staff were very helpful. The hotel was ideally located to explore Portsmouth

The only negative was no shower in the ensuite but we knew about this in advanve so it wasn"t really a problem

The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent.

We arrived at about 2220 having come across from Caen on the ferry and wanted to sit down with a cold drink and chill before going to bed. The bar shuts at 2230 so we managed one quick drink but as I suspect a lot of people also stop a night having arrived on the ferry, a closure time of 2300 would be appreciated.

Locatio

Too much thankyou so much and amazing .

Emplacement, petit déjeuner au top, facilité de stationnement, personnel adorable.

Room clean and very nice except cups too small

We are older people and we were put on top floor of the extension. We should have been asked/told.

Beautiful decor. Central location

Really uncomfortable bed and lumpy pillows. Room poorly laid out. No mirror above dressing table. The mirror was opposite the bed. No mini fridge. Plumbing not great (smelly drains). Breakfast was £17pp extra. Room cost was already expensive. Paid parking expensive. Spaces too small. Tried to charge us twice for parking. We weren’t asked how our stay was on checkout.

Nice big room, friendly staff, breakfast was great!

Was a little hard to figure out where the reception office was, but after asking, they pointed us in the right direction.

Excellent location, really short walk to the beach and to bars / restaurants in Southsea. Rooms comfortable. Breakfast was good. Staff were all excellent and very helpful throughout.

On street parking which was a bit limited and on narrow streets so if you have a larger car it may be worth paying for the gated parking. Rooms aren’t particularly sound proof - we could hear the TV and snoring from the next room!

Very local and very nice - warm welcome

Staff were very friendly. The property was clean and comfortable. Great location.

The breakfast was good and the size of the room was great. Furniture added to the room is lovely, decorated as pictured.

The parking, even though we paid for gated parking which was supplied trying to drag luggage to the room was a nuisance (on the day we checked in the guy on reception did help, however that may not always be the case.) Dragging luggage upstairs, again too much when travelling internationally. If there is a warning for this I missed it. Towels and linen on beds are extremely dated and poor quality.

The breakfast was delicious and freshly cooked. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and a good size. We managed to park right outside in the street. Comfortable bed and nice chairs in the room. Buses to town very convenient.

On arrival from the outside it didn’t look great and we had to cross the road in rain for breakfast as we were in the rooms were on other side of the road.

Very little

The description. Somerset House Hotel is NOT a hotel! It is at best a bed and breakfast. It was cramped, cold and was just a converted terrace house. The stove didn't work in the kitchen so all we got at breakfast was a pathetic, very small bowl of cereals, with a pot of coffee that had only been shown a coffee bean. The car parking I booked was useless and I had to park on the street, This was despite contacting the 'hotel' and making sure secure parking was available as my car was an expensive sports car that I did not want damaged.

This hotel had everything we needed and in a great location

Our room was lovely and spacious, and the reception lady was very welcoming and hard working

Great location! Breakfast was fabulous!

Parking was available but very small spaces! Struggled to fit my car in!

Lovely large room - although on the ground floor facing a residential road it was very quiet. The bed was comfortable and the room at a good temperature. The breakfast was fantastic and the waiting staff couldn’t have done more to help.

Nothing

Great stop off hotel when disembarking from our ferry from Spain. We enjoyed our deluxe room (Room 6 in Somerset House) which was nicely decorated and clean. Breakfast was great quality and nice to be able to have our dog with us in the dining room. Staff we encountered were lovely. We would stay again.

The bathroom tiles in the shower need a good deep clean - some signs of mould spots, especially around the window and on the ceiling. The bathroom towels were a little threadbare. On arrival the secure parking gate didn't shut and had to be closed manually by the staff. We were told it was broken but was being repaired. The gate was open again early the following morning. I've no objection to paying for secure parking, but this wasn't secure parking.

We were upgraded to the sister hotel, Florence. The room was lovely, very spacious with a great shower and a comfy bed.

Our only disappointment was that the room was very hot overnight - this is a common problem with hotels, especially older buildings.

Large room that was well decorated and clean. Comfortable bed and generous bathroom.

The room was a little impersonal. Ould have done with a few homely touches.

Breakfast not much choice if you stay for a few night did not enjoy every day cooked breakfast

Noise from other rooms

Tucked in close to seaside

Breakfast not included. Small room (no place for suitcases. Shower was Luke warm.

Good breakfast and nice room.

The breakfast was excellent, lots of choice on the menu, the room was nicely presented

The bed was quite soft

We came to see the silhouettes at Fort Nelson and chose this hotel for its location in Southsea as it was close to the beach and shopping at Gunwharf Quays. Hotel was beautifully decorated, very quiet location and we had an excellent breakfast! Staff were fantastic

Lage top, Frühstück super, sehr freundlich

--

Upgraded our room as we were staying for 7 nights.

Picture shown of the sea from the hotel is not true, you can not see the sea from the hotel at all.

Relaxing very quiet and comfortable

To wasn’t big enough

Friendly staff who very helpful and supportive. Great location and excellent service.

The location & facilities were excellent the meals were a little expensive but for the quality very good

Paying extra to park …. but the location was near the seafront and all parking scarce

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location. Gluten-free options in the restaurant.

Parking is very limited and tight. Access road is very narrow.

Great location, breakfast was excellent and staff very friendly

The secure carpark provided by the hotel could be difficult to navigate entry and exit due to residential car street parking .

Verdeeld over meerdere locaties. Wij hadden kamer op de bovenste etage.

Douchen in de badkuip. Ook geen stang om douche kop te bevestigen.

Arrived at 2pm and room wasn't available until check in time 3pm.Had pre-booked parking for £10,room was spacious and clean. Very quiet. If staying at Somerset house,please be aware that this part of the hotel is a separate annex to where you have breakfast. Breakfast was great, huge choice.

An older classic hotel in a quieter part of town. The room and bathroom were in good condition. The hotel is 15 minute walk to a lot of food options.

From check in to my room to breakfasts and dinners my expectations were exceeded. Of most importance were the staff. Everyone I interacted with was not only welcoming but exceptionally kind & helpful. Highly recommend.

Having to leave.

The room was nice and roomy and we had a very comfortable night. Breakfast was excellent and the location is great, very close to Southsea seafront.

I didn't particularly like the evening meal I had at the Garden restaurant, which was also quite pricey. As a B&B the place was an excellent choice though.

Cleanliness and comfort

Parking bays a little tight

lovely breakfast, staff really nice

bigger tv in the room

Comfy beds

Location of the reception

Food

Converted attic room for an elderly couple with no lift

The location was ideal. Away from the crowds at Gunwharf Quay, but close to the coast and restaurants.

We were given a room in an attic. It was hot and open windows and a fan didn’t help. Carrying our bags for an 18-day trip was very difficult up the narrow, tiny, 3 flights of stairs.

Lovely comfortable large room Allocated parking Good bar and breakfast Would definitely stay again

We arrived off the evening ferry at Portsmouth so were shattered. Had a drink in the bar before turning in for the night. Lovely atmosphere in the garden. Our King size room and en suite was spectacular in a beautiful Victorian house across the road from the main reception. After a much needed sleep went across the road to the restaurant/garden for a wonderful breakfast. So much choice!! Location was great. Took the dog for a run in gardens 5 minutes away before we checked out. Would definitely recommend booking a parking slot as it is limited. We just managed to get our camper van in the booked space but were more than happy as nowhere else nearby. Would definitely book again.

Nothing!

Food, friendly service

N/a

The property was beautiful and spacious with lots of natural light.

Some of the furnishings looked a little worn in places

The very helpful staff, the location, the food all good. Liked the quirkiness of the set up. Would come again ....

The room was very basic although described as Executive. The tiniest wardrobe both in width and depth...clothes had to hang at an angle. Lack of drawers..only 3 small ones.. and surfaces to put anything. There was a very pretty console table but would have been much better if it was a chest of drawers. Nowhere for a woman to put face products etc. The bathroom extractor fan was insufficient. The bathroom felt constantly damp. The towels never dried and even the toilet roll felt dampish. Could be quite noisy too with doors banging. Apart from all this we did have an enjoyable stay and would return.

Amazing location, very friendly staff, clean and big room, highly recommended 👌

Nothing, everything was as we expected.

Nice room

The room was over the road.the menu was very small and if I had known in advance would have eaten elsewhere.

The hotel was pet friendly which was our reason for staying however we didnt feel that we were compromising on quality because we had a dog! The rooms and restaurant area were very well appointed. The staff went out of their way to be accommodating. The pre arranged secure parking was exactly that.; secure, safe and reasonably priced. There were allocated spaces with the guest name on. It was a pre-ferry overnight stop so no opportunity to try the restaurant. The seafront and promenade for walking were a stones throw away but the hotel was set one back from the main street so it was peaceful and quiet. Just 15 mins drive from Portsmouth ferry terminal.

nothing

Room was lovely and enormous, tons of space, wonderful shower, also tons of room. Parking straight opposite hotel. Staff really friendly and helpful. Very accommodating in request to change dates. Breakfast was great, although it did get very busy around 9am. Dinner also nice. Really close to restaurants and seafront.

Lovely room, friendly professional staff, clean room with good shower. Good quality breakfast. Thanks for a great 3 night stay.

I am 6'4,our room was on the top floor, so low ceiling hight. Banged my head 3 times, I did learn eventually haha 😄.
