Usually IBIS hotels arent that bad, right? But unfortunately this has to be the worst hotel I've stayed in so far, the room was freezing cold when i got into the room (the heater was very tiny and not powerful enough to heat the room, any heat it did give off simply went straight out the window which was closed but still let in a draft), the TV only connected to BBC News, on the website it showed you could cast your device to your TV, but later i was told by staff it was broken. The shower pipe was spraying water in random directions when you turned the shower on and the showerhead seemed to be full of limescale so the water was only coming out of half the nozzles. The bottom of the doorframe was also covered in black mould. When i approached the staff apon checking out, explaining what was wrong with the room the only responce i got was "ah well, we will take your comments into consideration" Safe to say i wont be staying in the hotel again.

Horrible noisy hotel

The windows and noise insulation are so poor. The street noise was awful until 3am. We got no sleep. Room and bedding smelt of stale sweat. I’d never recommend staying there at a weekend, if at all.

Cheap price - poor quality

I am an ALL member and have used many Ibis & Novotel Hotels over the years. This Ibis room category in Portsmouth is half the size of the equivalent that I have used within the last 5 years. Although the facilities are as stated the room size is poor, claustrophobic and quite honestly squeezed as part of the complex to maximise the number of rooms that can be put into a designated area. Car parking was inadequate for the number of rooms in the hotel. The £12 breakfasts has now got reduced choices of cereal & English Breakfast ingredients. Overall, standards, in my opinion, have dropped dramatically. I will not be using this category of hotel again.

Weekend away

Stayed here for two nights for a little weekend away as a couple. Our room was nice for what we paid for it. It is a small space not a great amount of places to put all of your clothes, so we had to keep some things in the suitcase under the bed, but as we were here for a couple of nights it doesn't really matter. Bed was firm and comfortable. The duvet was a bit weird more like a sheet than a duvet, but there is a heater if you get cold. The bathroom is super teeny so there is a lot of wiggling about if you're 6ft or just broad shouldered you would struggle. Good shower once you figure out the controls. Towels were great big and soft. The TV was not good Freeview only and hardly any channels worked. Our room was right at the front of the building and a cross the road is a nightclub, but we didn't hear much noise of it at all even though we read other people's complaints. The hotel bar was pretty decent some nice choices of drinks. Didn't eat here though so can't comment on the food. Some nice restaurants in the area and a few bars, but it is a student area. Easy distance to Gunwharf.

The stay was ok, lovely room, ideal location but the noise at night was dreadful. We were kept awake most of the night by people coming in very early hours of morning and making a lot of noise. In the end we got up and left at 5.30 am as it was impossible to sleep.
