We really enjoyed our stay here. Loved reading about the history of the hotel and had a great breakfast. The bar looked like a cosy place for a drink but sadly we ran out of time to try it out. We’d recommend this hotel.

Lovely hotel that meets all expectations, we stayed for one night travelling down from London, great location, easy to find and park, clean and comfortable, tastefully decorated with a relaxed atmosphere, super delicious breakfast and great coffee .. would highly recommend to anyone that's looking to spread their activities over two days recharging at the Seacrest hotel whilst spending time in the Southsea / Portsmouth area for the great shops in Gunwharf Quays, lovely walks and the beach !

Good small hotel with amazing breakfast
Not a huge hotel. More like a large b and b with a bar. Lovely views across to the Solent. Straightforward comfortable room but mattress too soft. Breakfast was amazing and the morning staff were very welcoming. Parking voucher £2 to park outside was brilliant.

Uniquely decorated rooms. Pleasant common spaces. Broad breakfast selection, special diets catered for. Parking can be a bit tricky as there are only a few spaces in the car park behind the hotel and the road is busy. Excellent access to the seafront and piers. Bathroom was a little tight but overall we enjoyed our stay very much.

Very clean and good breakfast included
Very clean rooms, and quality sheets and towels. Shower has sufficient hot water. Very helpful staff.
Full English Breakfast is great.
Stairs up and down are not avoidable. This should be mentioned in booking process in case someone has physical challenge.
Entry to on site parking should be clearly stated once hotel booking is confirmed.
Room is too small. With our two carry-ons we could barely walk around the bed.
