This is an excellent value budget account minutes from the football ground we were there for. The room is no frills and very compact but also very comfortable. The reception staff were very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was sufficient, drinks, cereals, croissants, toast, cold meats etc. Overall was what was expected for a budget hotel and woukd definitely return.

There were only about 10 parking spaces for the hotel. The hotel had an arrangement with B&Q on the large retail park to use their car park, simply enter your details on the terminal at hotel reception. Not a major issue for us.

I got off the Brittany Ferries boat and it was past sunset. I don't drive in the dark anymore so I decided to stay in a reasonably priced hotel for the night. Perfect. Only thing I would like is a handle in the shower to steady myself as I have essential tremor. I did mention this when I checked out, and the lovely lady on the desk said that next time ask for a disabled room which has them. Absolutely fair comment. I will do that in future. Also, when I arrived, I was a bit confused as to where the parking was. The man on the desk said 'no problem, I'll sit in your car and direct you'. Now that's what I call superb helpfulness.

This is a pretty basic but at least modern and comfortable hotel. It’s in a business area a mile from the city center but for many that’s a perk with plenty of places to eat and easily get back on the motorway to continue your journey if this is just a stopover on a road trip as it was for me.

My only real complaint is that there was very little parking on the property and so I was told to park across the street in the parking lot for Costa. The hotel has an arrangement so I wasn’t ticketed but it’s not my favorite thing to have to leave my car in a mostly vacant lot other night, or to park it there after dark and then have to walk alone to the hotel.

It had everything I expected in a budget range hotel. I specially like the air cooler fitted in the room , which was greatly appreciated on a very warm night. It did the job admirably. It was very clean, the pillows surprisingly comfortable. Room a little small, but for the price I couldn’t really expect any different. Plenty of clean towels.

There is no provision for usb cable phone charging. Easy enough to replace the existing socket to include a usb tab. In this day and age it is considered an essential everyday necessity. Even in a budget hotel, I had to source and pay for a usb charging plug that I probably will never use again. That put an extra £20 on my stay.

As a disabled pensioner, I was very happy to find a dedicated 'blue badge' parking bay, which I was able to keep for the full length of my stay...be aware you cannot reserve them and it is on a first come first served basis. The car park has very limited parking so keep this in mind if you go out in your car. The hotel has 4 EVCP as well. My one gripe with my accommodation was the bed. I had booked a double room, but because the receptionist saw me using my stroller for mobility, she felt a dedicated, disability room, with the large ensuite would be easier... however this meant that I forfeited the double bed and ended up with a VERY small single!!! I'm a big man and weigh in at approximately 17st... and the bed was probably the smallest I've ever been in? Definitely not a choice I would make again. The continental breakfast is really good. You get multiple choices of cereals, breads, cheese, ham and meat, preserves and fruit juice. Tea and coffee are from a machine, so if they are busy and you want this service, the queue can be quite slow and stressful. Unfortunately they only have 1 machine...so the problems are common. One great thing about this hotel is the fact that you can buy a pint of Magner's cider for £4.00. They also do a meal deal with a pizza and a beer for £13.45...which is very good value. Finally, I must congratulate this venue's wonderful staff, particularly the receptionists...who were excellent. But special praise must be given to Tina. She was outstanding and went above and beyond to ensure every guest was looked after. She is a font of all knowledge, on all things to do with Portsmouth and she is happy to help you with any issues you may have? A great asset to the hotel.

My mobility issues meant I had to travel everywhere by taxi...this or lose my parking space. The other site for parking would have been impossible for me to reach... although it is literally 50m away.

Because the ferry disembarks after 21:00 hours, I use the hotel for an overnight stay when arriving from Spain. There are multiple dining options located across the road from the hotel. After a good nights sleep, breakfast is available either in the hotel or across the road. With a 24-hour manned reception, the staff always keep an eye on my motorcycle, meaning a stress free sleep for the following days ride. A petrol station just around the corner is a bonus

My only issue is riding through the city centre from the ferry terminal to the hotel. Although that is fairly straight forward with Tomtom.

We chose Ibis Portsmouth as the hotel backed onto the football stadium. The room was small but spotlessly clean, decent size TV, shower fine with complementary soap & towels, comfortable bed… was a bit strange having the sink in the bedroom, bit like a students quarters. We stayed in room 218, there was no noise whatsoever inside or outside the hotel, and yes, we would stay at this Ibis hotel again.

Not really a complaint… there are hardly any car parking spaces attached to the hotel premises. Once you’ve booked in just register your vehicle at reception, then you can park for ‘FREE’ bang opposite the hotel in the huge Costa Coffee and B&Q car park. There isn’t a kettle, spoons, or complementary tea & coffee sachets in the room, hence why the hotel is ‘budget’…. but, there are four decent cardboard drinking cups. Should you feel the need for supplies there is a massive Tesco Supermarket right next to the hotel, also, you can get a kettle from reception at no extra charge, which is obviously handy.

Bed was fairly comfy, air con unit in the room was a life saver too, being on the top floor it got very hot in the evenings. Decent TV and shower in the room too. Had to request extra towels / toilet rolls but staff were more than happy to help and were all very friendly.

Not a negative per se, just thought the sink in the bedroom and separate shower / toilet rooms was a bit of an odd layout, but they were functional and served their purpose so no real complaints.

Tina and Ann were the best Hotel receptionists I have ever dealt with. Sooooooo helpful, especially with my elderly father. Very much appreciated and nothing was too much trouble for these two wonderful ladies!!! I witnessed them helping anyone and everyone with the exact same levels of enthusiasm. They are a credit to this hotel!! I will definitely be back when I come to see my family in Portsmouth in the future!! Thanks a million!!!

Everything was fine. The only British I have is that I wanted a second pillow and never got one but that is all..

Very helpful friendly staff. Good breakfast

The description said on site parking. Not true unless you have a plug in electric car. If not then you have to park in the public Costa or B&Q carparks across a busy road and walk back to the hotel. I particularly wanted onsite parking as I had a car full of stuff I was breaking to the UK, which I had to leave in a public carpark not owned or secured by the hotel I was staying in. I think this should be made. Clear in your facilities description.
