An older classic hotel in a quieter part of town. The room and bathroom were in good condition. The hotel is 15 minute walk to a lot of food options.

Lovely hotel in a quiet location

Lovely hotel, friendly staff and an excellent breakfast. The room was spacious and comfortable as was the bathroom. The only negative was the size of the separate toilet, which was very cramped.

Beautiful hotel with lovely breakfast options

The Somerset House was a lovely hotel. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom was very nice. Good hot shower and the room was serviced. The food for breakfast was really good. We had family join us for breakfast and they were very impressed. The only negatives were the very limited parking on the streets nearby and the fact that the room had a small wardrobe but no luggage rack or anything else so we had bags suitcase and shoes just laying around the room. More storage would have been nice. Overall though excellent and very quiet. We will stay again we we are next visiting Southsea.
