Alver House

So dirty

So rude

Room was spacious and immaculately clean. Bed was comfy with hanging facilities for clothes. Bathroom was large and clean with a hot tub.

The chair in my room seemed to be broken or damaged, making it a little awkward to sit kn while conducting work. Black out curtains would be a good addition in my opinion.

Budget Stay in Portsmouth – Not Worth It, Even at £45 ⭐☆☆☆☆ I booked this B&B at £45 for the night, expecting basic but clean accommodation. Unfortunately, it fell well short even of that modest expectation. Cleanliness was my biggest concern. There was visible black mould growing up the corner of the bedroom wall — not a small patch, but a significant spread that looked well-established. The quilt cover had staining on it, which I can only hope was coffee. The room simply did not feel clean. Maintenance throughout was poor. Paint was peeling off the walls on the way up the stairs, a curtain tie-back was hanging off the wall with the plaster crumbling around the fixings, and most concerningly, a double plug socket was hanging loose from the wall, which I would imagine constitutes a safety or electrical code violation. The listing was also misleading. There was no clear mention that the bathroom was shared, which is something guests absolutely need to know before booking. To add to the disappointment, tea and coffee-making facilities were advertised, but there was no coffee provided — just tea. The property as a whole feels tired and in need of a serious overhaul — both cosmetically and in terms of basic safety standards. At £45, I wasn't expecting luxury, but I was expecting cleanliness and safety. This stay delivered neither. I would not return and cannot recommend it.
