Mostly good. Pleasant room (upgraded but couldn’t tell what was better?) but bed a bit soft and towels not the fluffiest. Arranged parking was great. Lovely breakfast, and reception really helpful but dinner and environment in sister hotel bar (Florence) underwhelming.

Possibly the worst boutique hotel I have EVER stayed in. We were on the first floor and the noise is almost unbearable above us. The night comings and goings were almost tolerable but then during the day I needed to stay in the room for a few hours to get work done and I couldn't. The banging, stomping and slamming of doors from the housekeeping staff was nothing I have ever experienced before. Terrible. The drain in the shower did not actually drain. The shower flooded the bathroom every time we used it. The drain in the sink was so noisy you could not hear yourself thing. The place is dirty by any standards and the fabric chairs in the room were so unclean I could not even bring myself to sit in them. By far the worst boutique hotel expeience I have ever had. The need to do a LOT better or drop "boutique" from their name. Immediately. A total let down. Do not stay here. There are plenty of other options in this city I wish I would have explored before booking this place.

My husband and I - from Australia - spent 3 days and nights in Portsmouth in late September. Our accommodation at Sometset House was booked for us by our travel agent. Delicious breakfasts in hotel restaurant across the road each morning. Also well-priced meals and drinks available The ambience of the hotel and the accommodation was wonderful, amenities all top quality and great service. Highly recommended.

Nice hotel, friendly staff, excellent breakfast, and conveniently located one street from the beach and 5-10 min into the bar and restaurant district. Free parking permit on the street nearby. We stayed just one night to visit Portsmouth but we definitivly come back when we are around next time.

Friendly welcome, lovely comfortable& spacey bedroom, breakfast was really nice quality food! All the staff were friendly& attentive. Very good value for money. The hotel is situated in a very handy area for walks on the sea front& parks, we ate in the Florence pub over the road from the hotel is really quality food& service, I believe is owned by hotel, highly recommend homemade cooking!
