Not really disabled or family friendly as no lift , didn't help with pushchairs and music too loud.

In general the Jolly Sailor was fine, location brill within walking distance to shops / restaurants etc.
One major issue was the shared bathrooms on our floor - there were two available one with walk in shower and one with over head in bath ….. both showers were not working !! We were told to use the ones on lower floor, which for us wasn’t an option as my husband is disabled and struggles with stairs. Neither shower was fixed during our stay and didn’t appear to be a priority to get fixed.

Room was in bad condition. Ripped carpet. Door kept sticking. No heating in the room so freezing cold. Had to climb 5 flights of stairs to the room.

Room was freezing as the heating wasn’t on they did give us a small electric heater which didn’t make any difference
No towels or tea bags
We couldn’t turn the tv over or volume down because every button on the remote we pressed just knocked the tv off
The parking was not complimentary as stated it was £13 for 24 hours on the upside it was just across the road to the hotel
The toilet was just across the hall and the view from our room was lovely

Left waiting at bar to check in for 15 minutes. Rooms are through a door behind the bar, very narrow space and stairs are steep and narrow. There was no heating on upstairs where rooms were and it was end of november and really cold. I noticed the rooms had radiators but they were not working so had to ask for a plug in heater.
Carpets threadbare and mattresses lumpy.
Table lamps torn and furniture very old. Wood around windows rotting.
The rooms showing on Hotels site must have been somewhere else, nothing like the photos.
The room was cheap but should be cheaper for the quality. I've stayed in better Hostels.

Disappointed that it is now mid-Nov and NO heating. Staff went in search of a portable heater and never came back 😑

I stay in the Jolly Sailor every week for business. The owner and his staff are very hospitable. Rooms are basic but comfortable, staff very friendly and there is free parking after 6.00pm. Situated close to Southsea front where you can take a walk with the fresh sea breeze. It's my home from home.

Probably one of most disgusting hotels I have ever stayed in, the floor was wet, the roof leaked and the stench from all the damp was almost unbearable.
