A cheerful style sets the mood in the guestrooms and suites, while the waterfront location provides an energetic atmosphere.

Great location for the Waterfront
Really comfortable hotel that is perfectly located for the V&A Waterfront. The room was clean and comfortable, but the bed could have just been a tad larger for our liking. The staff are super efficient and friendly, with a smile for all their guests. The breakfast was excellent, well cooked and plentiful. Would recommend this hotel

Overall good stay but…
Property is currently renovating the elevators so they are not in use ; we were unfortunate to be give. a room right next to the exit door which we could hear being opened and closed all night long, and during the day we were intoxicated with noise and fumes of the elevator renovations; Room is decent for a 4 star and breakfast is food, walking distance to v&a waterfront.

Wonderful stay
We had a lovely stay at the Portswood Hotel. It is centrally located on the V A Waterfront and within walking distance to all amenities.

Pleasant and convenient
Nice hotel conveniently located near the harbor. Lavish breakfast buffet. Used by groups as a starting hotel. Walkable to many restaurants, boats to Robbin Island, harbour tours and a shopping mall. Attentive and helpful staff. Nautical themed decor.
