We stayed for four nights and appreciated the convenience of being within walking distance to the waterfront. The staff were exceptional. Breakfast was offered at this hotel and its sister property, both of which provided an excellent selection. The hotel is also conveniently located, with the airport being less than 30 minutes away.

This is a nice hotel, very clean with helpful professional staff. It was pretty noisy at night with people speaking loudly and banging doors. The windows need new framing because they are very drafty. Other than these issues it was a very pleasant stay.

Best thing about the Portswood, given it is a great hotel anyway, is the proximity to the Waterfront.

Very convenient for the waterfront. One evening we sat in the bar and no one came to serve us. After 30mins we left for our room. We had an issue checking out early. The hotel blamed Expedia, and vice versa. Annoying, but it got sorted out within 30mins. And after, the duty manager gave us 2 free tickets to the diamond museum (which was worth a visit - if you can stand the sales pressure!!!)

I was not warned that this stay (unlike a recent stay) did not include parking - so best to check when booking! Cleaning staff in rooms/passages are VERY noisy when talking to each other. Good wi fi, glad to have news channels on TV (Sky & CNN). Spacious room and great to have a fridge. Providing water is a nice touch. I was unhappy to see hat no separate container was provided for recycling.

Overall a nice hotel and well located. My only negative take was was the lack of welcoming from the reception. The rest of the staff where fantastic. Amazing how just a lack of a smile or a kind word can make such a difference.
