Reviews and Ratings
I found my stay at the hotel to have some positives but also some drawbacks. The room I initially booked was smaller than expected and in need of an upgrade. Despite this, the room I was moved to was spacious with a comfortable bed, though a bit dated. The service was a mix of helpful and abrupt. The location, while central and convenient, was away from the most attractive parts of Fareham town center. Dining offered delicious options but lacked variety in some cases.
My stay at the hotel was lovely! The rooms are tired and a bit dark, but I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The noise from vehicles leaving early in the morning was a bit of a downside, especially since the windows were difficult to shut at 2 pm.
I stayed at this hotel and found it to be a nice place overall. The rooms were serviceable despite looking a bit tired, but the cleaned comfort made up for it. The service was excellent with a lovely breakfast, and the staff went out of their way to be helpful. The location was convenient, though a bit noisy due to the busy street. The dining experience was enjoyable, albeit a bit expensive for what was offered. The facilities were decent, providing a good value for money overall.
The hotel rooms were clean and comfortable, though a bit dated. The service was very helpful and friendly. The location is fantastic, close to the town with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. The dining experience was excellent and the staff were fantastic. However, the room was too hot, and the price could have been better for what was offered.
