“Excellent Value for Money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

We last stayed in the Upper Mount House Hotel in 1998, and we did wonder whether standards would still be as high as they were some 13 years ago. We need not have worried for our stay of four nights was comfortable and relaxing. The rooms at the Upper Mount House are spacious and they are kept spotlessly clean and tidy. There are generous tea-making facilities and, as an example of the attention to detail, it was noticed that myself and my wife drank a specific flavour of tea and, without us asking, that specific tea was added to the tea-making facilities in the room.

The breakfast at the Upper Mount is generous and there is something to suit everyone. A choice of cereals, Yoghurts, fresh grapefruit, melon, toast, cooked breakfast made to order or freshly made toast with at least half a dozen spreads from which to choose. Wayne and his staff are attentive to guests needs, without being intrusive.

We certainly enjoyed our stay and next time we won't leave it so long before we return to Southsea and the Upper Mount House Hotel.

“Upper Mount House”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

Upper Mount House Hotel in Southsea Portsmouth. We loved this place. It is very central for the shops and lovely local eating places. The staff were friendly and helpful. The beds & bedding were so comfortable and squashy...in fact everywhere was immaculate and clean, the fresh clean smell was the first thing we noticed when we went through the door. Breakfast was varied and plentiful. There are all different types of room, we will definately return here.

Room Tip: We stayed in a 4 person room althought here were only 2 of us!

“Couldn't be better”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2011

This is a fantastic hotel. It is tucked away in a quiet, leafy old lane but within yards of restaurants , shops and cafes as well as close convenient for the attractions of Southsea and Portsmouth. The room was spacious and clean, with lovely, unusual furniture. Ours also had an incredible huge modern bathroom. The owner is very helpful and friendly, and the breakfasts are large, freshly cooked with plenty of choice and served in a nice dining room. There is a guest lounge with brochures and sofas for relaxing and reading. We came on the train but there was car park for guests. would not stay anywhere else in Portsmouth !

Room Tip: Ask for the one with the huge bathroom !
