Staff were really helpful. The location was central and excellent value for money. Would definately stay again. We needed to check in really early and the staff had our room cleaned and ready before 1200. The continental breakfast included was good.

We had lovely stay here and ate one night at "Number 4" a sister hotel. The rooms are all individually designed and ours was black and white. The bathroom was a bit small and storage space was limited, But very comfortable and clean. Good continental breakfast each day. The hotel is in Southsea near the front so very convenient.

Thank you to the staff at Somerset House for an outstanding contribution to hospitality in Portsmouth/Southsea. We stayed 1 night only and could find nothing to complain about; not even I, an avid watcher of 'four in a bed!' The room was delightful, breakfast was good and wholesome and my cousin wallowed for an hour and a half in his... More

My partner and I stayed in this hotel during the week for just one night. We stayed in the Superior Suite and we were both so pleased. The room was modern and bright, and everything was cleaned to a very high standard. There were complimentry L'Occitane products in the bathroom which I found a very nice touch. There is a... More

Spent 5 days here with my wife and 2 children last year. Had a family room (with very large bathroom), which was certainly "big enough". The reason we initially chose this hotel is that is located only a couple of minutes' walk from the sea, but in a quiet residential street that we found to be very quiet indeed. A... More

My husband and I have stayed at over 15 different B&Bs in the Portsmouth/Southsea area and in our own personal ranking system we have rated this one the best. We had a ground floor room beautifully decorated with a fireplace, large mirror and plenty of drawer and wardrobe space. The bathroom has been decorated to a high standard and the... More

My mother and I visited Portsmouth for the first time and didn't know what to expect. We must say that, our stay at Somerset House was too short. The manager Ellie was most efficient in handling our reservation, and her staff, as well as that of the sister property, Number 4 restaurant, were warm and professional. The interior designer is...
