Old Victory House Homestay

Location

The equipment is just renew. The size of room is big in that area. If you are over 100kg you will need a big shower room. All the expierence in this B&B is great on the price I paid for.

The location was great for exploring the city. The space was clean enough, and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was excellent.

The space was old and clearly worn. The toilet was awkwardly spaced and lacked a bin accessible there, and there was no hand soap. The walls were thin, and you could hear other guests arriving or leaving.

Location.

Stairs leading to bathroom...window had no curtains or blind. Coffee wasn't replenished. No pillow cases on spare pillows even though they were on the bed.broken cupboard on wardrobe & we had to fix sliding door on shower.

The location near the hard was perfect as I needed to pop to Gosport for an errand before meeting someone at Gunwharf Quays. Checking in at the nearby Keppel's Head Hotel was easy and staff were attentive. Breakfast was in the (rather grand) hotel dining room and it's clear that the hotel is set up to cater for old salty seadogs like me. Breakfast was reasonable with both the bacon and sausage being of OK quality - although I believe I detected some microwavage on the bacon. Both the house with the accommodation and the hotel are showing signs of their respective ages but it is clear that the owners are keeping up with maintenance and improvements as they can.

While the room was an OK size for one night and the en-suite was finished to a reasonable standard, the white paint finish for both the room and the communal areas made the building look cheap - and the paint in the communal areas was in poor condition. For the breakfast the "full English" description was misleading as there was no black pudding and also the inclusion of an hash brown.

Great affordable option in Portsmouth.

Convenient, central, close to station, excellent value.

Basic facilities. A bit difficult to locate the entrance.
