Q8 Boutique Hotel

The staff were welcoming and the room clean an well appointed. Good bathroom with plentiful hot water in the wet space shower. The room was at the from of the hotel and had a great view of Southsea common. However, the road outside was busy and consequently the room was noisy up until 0100. The publicity for the Q8 Hotel should be clearer that breakfast is not available on site. Unfortunately the bistro where breakfast would have been served was closed for refurbishment. Fortunately, there were plenty of good independent establishments nearby in Palmerston Road where a good breakfast could be had.

Room was clean and quiet. Beds were comfortable. The receptionist was warm and friendly. However, there was a smell of drains.

There is no elevator so you have to carry your suitcase up to four flights of stairs unassisted. There are no views from the rooms, only a sign warning you to keep the window closed as they “have a problem with bird poop” There is no air conditioning, fridge, hair dryer or ironing board The rooms are very small and the bed and pillows were hard and lumpy

We booked the park view superior room for about 45% off (The AFTERNOON/EVENING receptionits was soooo nice and very professional! She even gave us a map/magazine of Portsmouth with great tips, directions and recommendations. Thank you so much!) The MORNING RECEPTIONIST was the one that put me off during our stay. I won’t elaborate but the “extra attention” she gave my boyfriend made the rest of my stay uneasy and uncomfortable. It’s actually an amazing hotel except for a few issues— the door to the bathroom is a sliding door, and it was incredibly hard to slide as it was too stiff. Same goes for the door to the room— it’s not sliding but it was very hard to push open or shut. My boyfriend says the lights are too bright, but for me it’s OK. Also, his side of the bed does not have a bedside table. Continental breakfast at £5.50– not enough options especially if you have special dietary needs (i.e. diabetes). Location is incredibly good— close to shops and the D-day Experience, Clarence Pier, Southsea Castle, and bus stop to city centre. Dockyards and Gunwharf Quays is about a 15-minute bus ride.

Couldnt fault our stay ay Q8. Perfect location. Rooms clean and comfortable. Staff really accommodating and friendly .

Staff where friendly and helpful. The room we stay in was clean and tidy. For the money we paid was very good value. We would definitely stay in this hotel again.

Extremely pleased with our stay, it was faultless from start to finish, would highly recommend and if in the area....this will be our first choice.

Lovely hotel very close to the sea front and Southsea town centre. Clean, quiet, and very comfortable.
