Hotels near Vernon Monument, Portsmouth

Very comfortable and suitable for our students to live

Parking was excellent close to shopping breakfast was available but we ate out

We stayed here for two nights to visit the historic dockyard before moving onto the Isle if Wight, we booked it through Booking dot com. We had a luxury room on the ground floor which had just been finished. First I'd like to mention the staff and service; from checking in to checking out the staff we interacted with were polite, very helpful and friendly, nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Breakfast service was good with a wide selection to choose form, hot food is cooked to order so not particularly quick when busy but still far superior to a buffet style. Our room, Gracious, is on the ground floor at the front of the property, our initial concerns about road noise and being next to the hotel entrance were happily unfounded. The ensuite bathroom is huge, with a spa bath at one end and a double shower enclosure at the other. The bed is large, probably super king-size?, and comfortable, there is a small dressing table and wardrobe and a soft chair. Everything was spotlessly clean. We had no complaints at all but there a few things that management may want to consider going forward; there is a large flat screen smart tv mounted on the wall above the dressing table which makes it difficult to watch from the bed being at 90° to the wall. There was an issue getting a reliable service on the TV which staff tried to resolve during our stay; there was also an intermittent issue with the WiFi dropping in and out. We found the shower water pressure on the low side but forgot to mention this before we left. Location is good, 5 minute walk to the nearest restaraunts on Albert Road or a 10 minute bus ride into Portsmouths Gunwharf Quay, the bus stops right outside the hotel. We would definitely stay again

Lovely couple of nights stay, flawless service, no humps, no bumps, friendly team throughout the facilities. Room service after the first night, clean restaurant, clean corridors, English breakfast, very well organised pool and gym. Line swimming is a bonus

I read a few negative reviews before arriving here and I was a bit worried about how my stay would go. I have to say all of theses reviews were proved wrong. We had a really good stay. Staff were friendly and helpful and the reception staff especially were constantly working on reception, in the bar and helping clear after meals and breakfast. Our room was very clean and convenient. The only issue is the separate charge for parking. Having to pay on a machine at a hotel is unusual and unnecessary.

Very conveniently positioned, a short walk away from the beach and the esplanade, but better value than the hotels on the seafront. Checking in was a quick and simple process, and the room was pleasant and clean, however, the decoration does require some TLC, including a paper sign that was torn and half off the wall where it was originally attached. A minor issue, but replacing it would take minutes, and it would immediately give a better first impression. The sink was in the room (not in the bathroom) but it was making the best use of the space available, Breakfast was fresh and served quickly, with unlimited self-service cereal, juice, and tea/coffee available. I would not hesitate in staying here again.

I stayed in this hotel during the middle of the summer holidays, I was unlike most staying in the hotel there for work purposes! The hotel is situated at the back of the local dying town, full of vape shops, Turkish barbers and charity shops, there is no real reason to venture there! The woman who checked me in spoke to me in a sarcastic 'Hello sweetie' kind of a tone, I am unsure if she was overly polite or overly rude in her sarcasm, but the taste in my mouth says sarcasm! I stayed in a room on the top floor for 4 nights and it was beyond uncomfortably hot, the staff did compensate the heat with a single fan and no duvet on the bed, the room was grimy, it had a surface clean, so it gave the appearance of clean, I'm sure if someone went in that room with a black light it would shine like a Jackson Pollack painting. It is apparent that there is no actual deep cleaning, as a taller man, I am the first to notice the thick levels of dust on the high points, Ryde Travelodge was no exception to this issue. A note to the management team at Ryde: Do better, with the cost of living currently spiralling, near 600 pound to stay in a stiflingly hot, dirty room is unacceptable!

Arrived at this lovely venue to celebrate our Ruby Wedding Anniversary only to find that the 3rd party booking company that we used & paid had not advised us that the Hotel was fully booked. Fortunately the Staff at the resort on reception Adam & his female colleague sorry I did not take her name bent over backwards to try & find a room which they eventually managed with a lot of effort. The hotel was exceptionally busy due to a Wedding & a private party staying over. I was very stressed & upset as this was a special day for us but they made every effort with calmness & professionalism to resolve this problem that was NOT down to the hotel. Room & stay was great. I highly recommend this hotel & the staff not only on reception but throughout the whole hotel during our stay.
