- Etap Portsmouth

Pay £10 more and actually sleep through the night. We were woken up twice in the night with a fire alarm resulting in having 5 hours sleep and no water the next day. So couldnt flush the toilet, have a drink, clean our teeth or shower. HORRID!!!!
Stayed for a weekend with friends and expected a basic hotel with no frills. The rooms are adequate but a bit like a youth hostel. On our last night the fire alarm went off at 2.15 am and then again at 6.15. This knocked out the lifts and all running water so no shower and no toilet. No apologies from staff who appeared to be temps. Shoddy.
This hotel is right next to Portsmouth Football Club grounds which may be worth bearing in mind if there is a match on. Parking is mega limited especially as the local authority are building flats in what must have been the car park.
The room is tiny but functional. There is no where to eat locally except fast food outlets. Too basic for me but amazing value. Ideally placed if you have an early ferry to catch but I didn't feel safe in the area and was worried about the car.
Breakfast is optional but cheap and perfectly okay. Snacks and drinks can be bought from reception as can a selection of toiletries. Reception staff were efficent and friendly.
Not a straightforward short drive to ferry terminal.
Parking limited and not easy to find when arriving after dark.
Nowhere nearby to get a quality meal - MacDonalds, KFC & Subway no substitute for food!
Staff very friendly & helpful.
