"Lovely premier Inn, shame about the bed."

Hotel was clean and well kept. Bed was unfortunately very soft, resulting in myself having back pain and my partner having shoulder pain on waking. Shower cubicle was a really good size but strange having the sink in the bedroom. Plenty of parking and coded barrier access meant that it wasn't full of people that shouldn't have been using it.

"Super-friendly staff, but accessible bathroom let it down. "

Visited on a Sunday night over the Easter hols with my boyfriend for a couple of days of visiting the sights in Portsmouth. The hotel is quite easy to find from Junction 12 off the M27 and the car park is accessed via a barrier. You exit again with a code from reception, punched into a keypad on the way out. There are maybe 5 or 6 disabled parking bays adjacent to the hotel entrance and a push pad controlled automatic door to get into reception. At one point, all the disabled bays were full, so I guess the place gets pretty busy, hence the barriers to the car park itself. There is a lift between all the floors and we had the accessible bedroom on the first floor. I was told (when checking with the hotel on the phone beforehand), that all of the four (?) accessible rooms are wet rooms with showers. All the regular rooms in this hotel have showers rather than baths too, apparently. The bedroom wasn’t the biggest, but clean and well kept. We had a regular sized double bed (no twin beds pushed together for a change, yay!) with enough room for Super Para to transfer in and out of bed on either side. The bed was at a good height, but a little too soft for him to roll around on and spread out like a starfish during the night. Bad for him - good for me. The big disappointment for us was the shower in the bathroom. There just wasn’t enough room for him to get his wheelchair alongside the shower seat to transfer, so he’d have had to do this virtually front on - and he wasn’t willing to risk it. He’d rather be safe and a bit smelly than in a heap on the floor. Plus he eats a lot of biscuits, so I can’t pick him up again if he does go splat. Such a letdown (the shower, not him), as I plan ahead very carefully to ensure we only stay places where my boyfriend can fully access all the facilities. I wouldn’t recommend staying here if you require assistance to transfer, or have a power chair. Weirdly, the area near the toilet was huge, but the sink didn’t have enough clearance to wheel underneath. Gah! I wonder who, if anyone, advises Premier Inn on their room accessibility? Things like this can spoil weekends away for us. We’d pre-booked the meal deal with dinner and breakfast at the in-house Thyme restaurant and both meals were perfectly good. There were an abundance of friendly, helpful staff and the food was plentiful, delivered promptly and tasty. We really can’t fault the service we had at this hotel at all and I don’t want to take away from this, as it’s the building itself that let the experience down for us. I hope that it’s on the list of hotels due for a refurb soon and that some properly accessible rooms will be created.

"Seen better days"

The location is convenient but it is starting to show it’s age. Staff knowledge and service left a bit to be desired - overcharged for meal deal which was rectified and booked a twin room which turned out to be a double, again sorted but should not have happened. Food and service in the restaurant was actually quite good for the price. Overall needs freshening up.

"No improvement"

We have stayed here as a family on many occasions due to its close proximity to the Park and Ride for the Dockyard and Gunwharf Quays but the venue is getting very tried in its decor and the breakfast doesn't get any better. The laminate it still peeling off of the tables in the rooms and the tv is still tiny when compared with every other hotel chain including most other Premier Inns. The breakfast was a little chaotic with one member of staff dealing with all customers. Most off putting were the sticky floors in the buffet area (both days of our stay). The coffee machine ran out of coffee beans 5 minutes after opening....someone should surely check the levels before opening ! If you want something cooked to orders, make your order every clear and be prepared to wait.My order order of 3 poached eggs was served as 3 boiled eggs....another 10 minutes wait for the correct order to arrive ! The one evening meal we had was not great ...the bacon in my wife's bacon and cheese burger was almost raw. We were told the grill had broken !! During the night there was the usual door slamming and children running up and down the corridors.......this was mentioned to the receptionist - no interest. We have given this PI enough chances now....next time the Marriot.

Close Review

Hotel description Premier Inn Hotel Portsmouth Port Solent is set in the navy heartland of Portsmouth, close to the A27. We're handy for business and pleasure, with some top attractions just a short journey away. Whether you're visiting the Mary Rose Museum, or watching yacht racing, the sea is never far away in Port Solent. Goodwood Festival of Speed is well worth a visit every June, and we're the perfect place to stay if you're catching a ferry too. Before you set sail, enjoy a tasty meal in our restaurant and an extra-comfy bed in your room. Just to let you know, our rooms have showers rather than baths.
