We had 4 nights in room 3 in Somerset House, very comfortable bed, small shower room with only a small shelf to store toiletries. The bedroom really needed some sort of desk or dressing table as we ended up storing things on the floor - very impractical and a real bug-bear for us. For the prices charged, we expect the... more

This was the last hotel we stayed in after 7 days away in various places around the Eastern part of the country....What a let down for our final night before heading home. 1st - Your credit card it charged when you phone and book...I have never experienced this type of payment anywhere else..astonishing. 2nd - We stayed in a "Junior... more

We stayed in Room 5, which is on the top floor, with beautiful skylights in the bathroom which had a double spa bath. The room was beautifully... more

We stayed at Somerset House in September. Our rate was for 2 nights and included a beautiful cooked breakfast.. I particularly loved the frest fruit salad. We paid just under 100 pounds p/n. My first impression of Somerset House was a little underwhelming. On entering the building it just looked a little jaded and tired. However we were very pleased... more

Definitely not a hotel but more a bed and breakfast style property in a quit area of Southsea. Room was decorated in a modernistic style. Amenities were quite basic, lcd tv screen too small, no desk to work which we missed and bathroom that was too cramped. Quite inconvenient. We also missed some atmosphere to the place. At night the... more

Spent our wedding night here in the honeymoon suite and it was fantastic. When we first went down to view the room (we wanted perfection) we were a little put off by the owner as he certainly has his way about him. That said, we were sold on the room within two seconds of walking in. Very tidy, huge bed... more
