Well appointed rooms, great staff. Very convenient location close to sea front. Excellent breakfast.
Great.. quiet,friendly staff breakfast was very nice... room was great pillows bit hard but that probably me... only one point of a 5 was the shower was very slow
Had Lovely 2 night stay here. Lovely room with jacuzzi bath. Room and bathroom, we're a good size. Our group had 2 rooms, both had issues when we arrived (a blocked toilet which they told us about on arrival and a loose shower door handle). We went out for 2 hours and both were fixed when we returned. The staff were pleasant and helpful. We loved it.
The staff are excellent. Breakfast was good. My room was large with a jacuzzi in the main room but the bathroom was tiny. For a bigger person the room called Giddy would not be suitable.
Stylish and cosy hotel. Bed was so comfy. Quaint shabby chic type of place. Lot of thought put into this place. Very clean Amazing customer service. Very pleasant. Breakfast was incredible. Cooked beautifully and a lot on offer. Would definitely stay there again. Only downside was parking as its first come first serve but other than that a great experience and I would definitely recommend this place. A credit to the owners
Great place to stay we went here for valentines and rhey made the room great..staff are great
We booked last minute a night at the G! Boutique hotel for Saturday night. The hotel is popular and was busy. Parking is limited to 5 spaces but you can get parking on street with permit (ask in reception). Rooms are very different from each other. We had a problem with our room but had excellent service and moved to "Grandiose" upstairs which was perfect. Coffee facilities, good WiFi.. all good for a night. + the breakfast was excellent!
I don't usually stay in independent places when working away but glad I did. Lovely room and I slept so well! Every member of staff was so helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend.
Seaside resort with gardens, a beach & a pier, plus Southsea Castle & a lively dining scene.
