“Hated it + would never ever ever go back.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2011

people found this review helpful

went there to see a concert last year. everything seemed fine until getting back from the concert and there was a young man who was a little to eager to welcome us when we stepped out of the taxi. however, we did not think anything of that. we left in the morning without breakfast as we did not fancy eating in this hotel after the state of the room.
When i got home (to wales) everything was fine until a month later when i had an email to say i had booked several hotels in the portsmouth area using my card. Then i remembered that the lady on reception of the hotel asked did i have the cash instead of using a card like you would usually do in a hotel check-in. this i found very strange. I then rung the hotel i supposedly booked several rooms for and i explained how i had stayed in the beaufort hotel the previous month. The girl on the phone seemed very concerned and she said that this has happened before, and that there is a drugs scam going on at this hotel and they do take money from rooms when going to breakfast. Luckily this did not happen to us. I then had to phone hampshire police and explain what was going on they took this very seriously and said that the hotel manager changed his name this is why its under new management when really it isnt. This is just to warn people on kepping all valubles on them at ALL times and dont pay by card on check in.

“Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010

I was unimpressed with this hotel. No variety in breakfast (no healthy options available) with poor service only wanted to serve a full english breakfast. When something else was requested the staff were unhappy and unwilling. The waiter was surly. Also, Televisions didn't work fully. However, the rooms were clean but basic. The hotel was in a good location for travel and tourist facilities.

“Refused to Stay”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2010

person found this review helpful

Booked a superior twin room, and although I didn't have massively high expectations , nothing prepared me for the dissapointment. After viewing their own website and pictures on laterooms.com the standard of the regular rooms looked fine, the superior room was "tiny" and extremely dated. Couldn't get the TV to work and the remote control was held together by sticky tape!! I sat on the bed and the mattress sank to about 2" deep beneath me, my sister sat on her bed and sank into the middle where she could feel the bed base beneath her, as for the pillows - I prefer my wafers to come wtih my ice cream!!!!! There was also a mattress blocking a fire exit.
I actually checked with reception that they had booked me into the correct room.
After conveying my dissatisfaction and the tone with which my sister and myself were spoken to (especially by the manager on the phone, as they had no duty manager) we requested a refund, after which a debate ensued for more than an hour - the receptionist lied to the manager about our time of checking in and they tried to imply that we had simply changed our mind about staying and kept referring us to their cancellation policy - of which they did not have a copy - they kept trying to download laterooms.com policy instead - as I had not booked with laterooms, I told them this was unacceptable - they were also unable to provide us with a copy of their complaints policy / procedure.
It was only after liaising with my credit card company about cancelling my transaction that the hotel miraculously decided they would refund my money. The hotel we subsequently stayed in advised us they had frequently had guests there that did not want to stay at the Beaufort Hotel and our cab driver later that evening said the hotel had been in the local papers!!!!!! Make of this what you will
