Do not booked this place its absolutely dreadful, male in charge was very unpleasant when telephoned for further instructions on entry, room advertised on booking.com was nothing like given its a health a safety hazzard, no hot water available from Bath hot tap or sink hot tap, kitchen not clean, freezer desperately needs defrosting, whole experience was awful would never recommend this place
Cleanliness was disgraceful as soon as you walk into the hallway you notice the dirt, stairs were dirty, carpet was stained throughout, health and safety was non existent no kitchen door no fire safety bedroom door opposite kitchen, hallway hight not working, electric heater in bedroom sparked from main socket, bed mattress covered in recent red blood stains and something else not recognisable.
Nothing like picture on booking.com website, electric fire available sparked when switched on or off from wall socket, nothing electrical in kitchen or bedroo. was PAT tested, no kitchen door between hallway and bedroom defiantly a fire hazzard, and still no refund for all this 😡

Spaceous room, great location, quiet, tidy and clean
It’s just great - but a wee brush up, decoration would take it to next level

Nice place and easy to get to somewhere. Bus stop is 3 minute walk , the location of these property near the shop and Bar easier to do everything .
The stair was too tiny because we have big luggage quit difficult to carry up there .

It was in a central and nice place in Southsea. There was a TV in the room with internet access. The kitchen was well equipped. However, I'd never waste my money there again.
First of all, it was completely different than we expected. We booked the room for 19 nights and paid a good amount of money. However, this small room wasn't worth the price at all. The room was so small that we could not even place our luggage there properly. The second point is that hygiene isn't a familiar concept in this place. Our bed sheets were full of stains (some of them even looked like blood). The carpets were extremely dirty as well. We felt so uncomfortable sleeping in that bed and during the night we were woken up by the toilet flush since it was so loud. Furthermore, the flush could be just used every 10 minutes (we had to wait to flush again). After using the flush, we could hear the noise for almost half an hour. Another problem was the door lock which looked very old and was not secure, to be honest. Once we left the keys in the room and the door got locked. So we had to call the property owner and get a spare key.
I would also like to talk about the issues we had with the owners. In the beginning, they seemed to be very nice and kind. However, we had to check out earlier than expected and one week before checking in we told the owner about that. We did not expect any refund from them, but they told us if we checked out earlier (we left 12 nights earlier) and if they found new renters, we could get a small refund. After checking out, we contacted them several times and even tried to change our check-out date on booking.com, so they could find new renters. However, they did not confirm the new check-out date, when booking.com asked them. They had found new renters for our reservation period, but they told us nobody was staying in our room, just because they didn't want to give us any refund. They profited twice and lied to us. In the end, they end up offering us a ridiculous amount of money, so we wouldn't bother them anymore.
