Guest Reviews

• Stewart (10/5): Great place to stay - Working away from home this week and I found the reservation on booking.com. Where to start, communication from the host samatha has been great and excellent thought-out the stay, even late one evening when I forgot my key to get back in. The goodies you receive in the fridge are extremely welcomed and a nice touch. The building / room is very clean, looked after and always smells nice. The shower is decent, hot and good pressure always a bonus. You are close to a plenty of pub's, and was always made to feel welcome and able to enjoy the football or sports on TV. Parking is plentiful, never had an issue to get a space after work, and a stones throw from the beach. Just gutted I didn’t find this place sooner and couldn’t book for the next couple of weeks I’m here in the area as it’s already unsurprising booked up. Nothing
• Marc (10/5): Great stay - Samantha was super helpful. Best to have a car. - Easy location to access all of Portsmouth, Southsea and Isle of Whyte. Very clean and tidy - private and quiet.
• Angela (10/5): Fantastic - will definitely be back! - Excellent location, lovely quiet area which is close to the park and seafront. The whole property is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The goodies in the fridge are very welcome 😁 Can’t think of anything!
• Campos (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and the complimentary drinks are a very nice welcome. Nothing really to complain about.... everything was perfect!
• Kimani (8/5): -
• carol (9/5): Nice studio in perfect location for the seafront - Perfect location for the sea front. Excellent shower Comfy bed Good selection of complementary goods (drinks, chocolate, tea, coffee Couldn’t find the Wi-Fi password
• Rita (8/5): A few very Pleasant days in Southsea - Great location close to beach and other good amenities. Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Quiet road with plenty of parking. Quiet area very pleasant I would recommend. Not always easy to make contact with the host.
• Bisola (8/5): Enjoyed my stay - Clean, staff communication was very good. Loved the location was close to the beach and park It’s more like an en-suite room with a kitchenette.
• Mark (8/5): -
• Keylie (10/5): We had a lovely time here any questions were answered in minutes by the host - Lovely area and was close to places like the beach N/a
• Clyde (8/5): Facilities were good but unfortunately had a bad experience with late check-in and to find car burgled on day of checkin - The location was good for an Air BnB Was not aware that a refundable deposit had to be paid in advance which prevented me from checking in on arrival. Also was not aware of street parking permits. Unfortunately car got burgled on the second night of stay. Rather disappointing. The kettle was coated with limescale and there was nobody on site to speak to for a replacement.
• Patrick (10/5): - Great room in a quiet road close enough to the main attractions as to be a non issue. Good options for parking. Everything was very clean and tidy. The residents in the property were also very nice. The host was very fast in responding to my enquiries. Facilities I would expect in a luxury hotel room like gowns, drinks and snacks. I'll definitely be staying again.
• Ann (9/5): Comfortable, quiet stay - Lovely to stay here, as a couple we didn't need much, but could be useful to have a chair in case you are tired of sitting on the bed, ha. Lovely host, had an issue with the door lock that got answered promptly! complimentary toiletries, coffee and tea, plus little treats in the fridge! How kind!! Hairdyer, brolly, robes if you need them..never been spoiled this much, haha ❤️ Parking was a huge bonus, it was a lovely and quiet area! Really glad we managed to spend time here. ☺️ Nothing really stood out or was a fault from the host, but i'd be glad to share a heads up to others- there was no milk so if you plan on having a coffee pop into a shop, and bring an emeegency pack of 4x AA batteries just in case- our door lock ran out of power, played an annoying melody and did not lock the door until we swapped them. Host said it was fine in the morning and as we arrived in the evening it must've drained. Thankfully the host left replacement batteries by our door in the morning!❤️
• Dean (10/5): A great place to stay and great location on a quiet street with easy parking. - A very nice clean studio apartment which was close to the beach and other attractions (recommend the Hovercraft to Isle of Wight). There are buses running frequently to Southsea town/Portsmouth (No 3 or 23) - use Google Maps. Thanks to Studio owner for help on a few queries who was very supportive. Nothing to report.
• carole (6/5): Good Location - The location, cleanliness and free drinks and snacks in the fridge which was a nice touch. Very small, one tiny bedside table so nowhere to put your things on. I was a solo traveller but for me I would have struggled if I was in a couple.
• Christine (6/5): -
• julie (9/5): Cosy and comfy - Great location, easy to park. Clean and comfortable. Extras in the fridge, dressing gowns and slippers, umbrella. Secure Needs a small chest of drawers in the wardrobe
• Paul (8/5): Lovely room, nice location, host brill. Quick to reply to any questions. - Close to beach. Very clean. Nice touches (robes and mini fridge gifts. Let us stay & checkout late without us asking (for free too) Would be even better if had a small fold up table/stools to eat at. Plus a tea towel or 2.
• Wa wa Lai (8/5): - 環境清靜，房間整潔。 插蘇頭不夠。入住前需要繳交按金。
• Kelly (10/5): Absolute little gem of a place with lovely owners in a perfect place - Amazing location Very clean and just perfect little place to stay The fridge full of treats is a lovely touch to Especially when you arrive after a long journey Comfy bed ,, great shower Just a little gem and sam the owner was lovely and helpful offering us bikes to use for the weekend and also offer us late check out too Nothing we liked every thing about it
• Edda (9/5): - Das sehr nette ruhige nahe am Meer gelegene 1 Zimmer- Apartment liegt im 2. Stock eines typisch englischen Hauses. In der kleinen Küchenzeile durfen wir uns bereitgestellten Getränken nehmen. Auch die vorbereiteten Parktickets für die Zone in der Strasse waren sehr hilfreich. Samantha war sehr nett und für Rückfragen rasch erreichbar. Danke für die problemlose kurzfristige Buchungsmöglichkeit.
• Jocelyn (8/5): Great location, nice and clean. - Great location in a quiet road close to beach, local restaurants and pubs. Nice and clean, easy street permit parking, permits available onsite charged at £4 per day. Easy access with key lock and good communication from Samantha. A bit small, especially the bathroom which is tiny, but great shower. Bed too small and soft for us. Needs a socket, bedside table and lamp on the far side.
• Derek (8/5): - Location goody's clean garden No chairs in the room
• FS (10/5): Excellent beachfront accommodation! - Everything about our stay at this place was amazing. From the cleanliness and comfort of the studio, to the clear and warm communication from the hosts, it is safe to say we were very pleased with our experience. It’s the perfect place for a weekend trip; the location is right next to the beach as well as being in walking distance of local shops and restaurants, and while it is small, it has everything you need. Complimentary snacks and drinks are included in the mini fridge. There is a coffee machine with a generous supply of coffee pods and biscuits, as well as a sink (including a sponge and washing-up liquid, and a teatowel), a microwave, plates and cutlery, glasses and mugs, and a small bin by the kitchenette. A cupboard by the (spacious and VERY comfortable) bed included 2 robes, slippers, an ironing board, a hairdryer, and a safe for valuables. Underneath the bed from the top of my memory was extra bedding and the iron. The bathroom was immaculate, with a toilet, standing shower, sink, and complimentary soaps and shampoos/conditioners. 2 towels and a hand towel are also in the bathroom. Downstairs is also a lovely backyard area, with a small gazebo where you can sit for a smoke or for some fresh air. Overall, our stay was far more than satisfactory, and I would highly recommend it to either solo travellers or couples! It is slightly on the smaller side, but not uncomfortably so. As long as your belongings remain organised, your stay is perfectly comfortable.
• Becky (9/5): - Clean and comfortable with easy parking and really lovely refreshments in the fridge. Great communication from hosts. Great location too
• Michelle (10/5): - Very clean, comfortable bed, shower has good pressure, fan for the summer, complimentary drinks and snacks. The host Samantha was very responsive and helpful.
• James (8/5): Very good -
• Zahir (8/5): Very good - Very clean Safe... professionally maintained host gone above and beyond to make the space great... Only thing I can fault is the best is to soft still slept well though....
• Margaret (8/5): Very good -
• Derek (7/5): Good - Stocked fridge. Dressing gowns. People upstairs noisy. No chairs. Only 1 socket.
• Adrian (10/5): Exceptional - Clean. Shower was excellent. Bed was very comfy.
• Jane (10/5): Recommend Southsea Studios - Second stay here, great location. The room is clean and comfortable, we like having a kitchenette and the bathroom is modern and clean Would prefer a king size bed but that's just because that's what we're used to at home
• Trina (10/5): Excellent - Very clean everything you need and more Nothing
• Wigdan (9/5): Superb -
• Wigdan (9/5): Superb -
• Crinas (9/5): Superb -
• Firas (8/5): Very good - shower was nice and hot bed was very comfortable beach is next door the kitchenette would have preferred a small hob too cook rather than just microwave and toaster
• Louise (9/5): Superb - We had a wonderful stay, the room was very clean and location was convenient. We had free use of their bicycles which was a fantastic way to see Portsmouth. Lovely host as well, would definitely recommend.
• Anthony (8/5): Enjoyable stay in modern comfortable apartment in as excellent location - Beautiful property really modern,comfortable & very clean. Location was excellent & on street parking was always available.
• Dariusz (10/5): Exceptional - Super clean room. Super location. Opportunity to hire bicycles. Fully complimentary fridge with refreshments was very kind. There is not enough room in the bathroom
• Yvonne (6/5): Pleasant - It's been an experience useful for the time booked in a dated mansion that has been split in different rooms for accommodation purposes of various guests, takes back in time & the architecture can be appreciated, located in a decent, respectable, well kept neighbourhood, very close to the coastline. Considering the limited space available in this studio it was well equipped having in mind the comfort of guests. I've appreciated the refreshments & snacks provided upon arrival. Also portions of tea, milk & coffee have been provided together with toiletries. I got a decent fare deal for 8 nights but I noticed that fares can be exaggerated, especially to be in Portsmouth. The property is carpeted & guests do not remove their shoes, quality of air reflected this aspect & it felt dusty, as the mansion is not kept for private use I found this aspect inappropriate for hospitality purposes. As the purpose of this mansion has been changed to another use, bathroom in the room may not have been part of the original project & it's particularly too small. Towels provided didn't smell as freshly laundered. Mattress was a bit noisy. Would have preferred a slightly rigid one. Had to take heavy luggage upstairs on third floor which I didn't enjoy.
• Ben (10/5): Clean, convenient and excellent location - The property was quiet, clean, well equipped and a stones throw from the beach! Good shower and clean toilet, well stocked with snacks and beer and water, bed was super comfy and clean also! If I had to be really picky the wifi wasn’t the best but I was only there for the evenings so wasn’t a huge issue
• Veronica (10/5): Exceptional - The host was ready to respond and most helpful. The treats in the fridge were a bonus and the parking permits were helpful. We enjoyed the quiet pleasant location and the spotless room. The folder of information was professionally prepared. Thanks for everything. Nothing really. As we are very tall people we would have enjoyed a bit more space especially for eating and drinking.
• Jacques (6/5): Pleasant - Location, warm, clean, communicative host, having toiletries. The space and comfort could be improved with: 1. A light above the sink area 2. A second bedside table and lamp- a sliding cupboard door would make this possible 3. A small table and chairs to eat at. Perhaps a table could fol out from under the window 4 a sponge / scourer for washing up 5. A second hand towel
• Debbie (9/5): A lovely stay. - Lovely clean apartment with good facilities. Good location. -
• Daniel (8/5): Adequate and enjoyable - Clean, modern and tidy. Little bit too small and no chairs or table etc
• Julia (9/5): Superb - Easy check in and check out. The property has all the essentials. A small kitchenette is a bonus. Coffee machine and free chocolate and drinks in the fridge. Comfortable bed and clean sheets. It was a nice little place for my 2 day break in Portsmouth. The location is near the beach front. Definitely recommended for a short stay in this city.
• Shane (7/5): Staff and location good but could do with a more functioning room - Location and staff Internet poor and disconnected for many hours of the night. TV was constantly having volume issues - all channels after around 10 min and would frequently mute without being turned on. Front door lock frequently difficult to open, poor instructions and another guest advised to tap, turn left then right and that worked every time but not explained, room entry was fine.
• Patrick (10/5): Exceptional -
• María (10/5): Exceptional -
• Agataanna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Debbie (9/5): We had a lovely stay at Southsea Studios for Victorious, thank you! - Beautiful room, quiet, spotless and well stocked with lovely bits and bobs. Small double bed was slightly too small to sleep 2 comfortably but the bed itself was very nice.
• Robynne (9/5): Has everything you need , comfortable , bright and clean. - Light, bright, cosy and clean It is small
• Reader (10/5): A nice relaxing stay. - Very clean
• Chandler (10/5): Exceptional - Something in the room made me get allergy symptoms, sneezing all the time. Not sure what it was and it might be my own problem, but a small dissappointment during the trip.
• Deborah (6/5): I wouldn't be back - The bed was comfortable The room was very small and it was a studio apartment, not a 1 bed apartment which was misleading. The kitchenette was just a small fridge, a microwave, kettle but no cooking facilities... no hot plate to cook anything, so everything had to be microwaved. The shower was very nice, but if you were a bigger person, I don't think you would be able to get in at all.
• Kieran (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kieran (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jordan (8/5): Very good -
• Jo (8/5): lovely, clean and enjoyed the stay - convenient and comfortable and friendly staff bathroom a little small
• Jane (8/5): Very good - Where it was as was in walking distance of family members. Parking available. Clean and tidy, folder with information of area, fridge with drinks etc in As much as the room was ok it Would have been nice to have a microwave or something to be able to have meals as there was a fridge, plates, cutlery etc. Nothing else to sit on other than the bed.
• Gareth (1/5): Stay clear - Location was great Partly use for students we had to call 999 twice due to fighting in three apartments below no help or reply from owners police advise was to leave
• Christopher (7/5): Good - Very nice and clean good location Size of room and bed was to small for people over 6ft not much room for 2 in the bed at all
• Robert (10/5): Will be back stayed at many places this is one of the best - Excellent location and studio was modern and spotless really impressed Can’t fault this place at all
• Jack (8/5): Very good - The ease of checking into the apartment. The helpfulness of the owner via email and the online app services that I booked the apartment with. Clean and tidy room with everything required for a few nights away. Added bonus of the complimentary drinks and snacks in the fridge. A very nice and thoughtful gesture. Great location within Portsmouth. None.
• Mark (6/5): Pleasant room but not apartment as described - Shower and fridge Wi-fi no signal , coffee machine didn’t work
• Angelica (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely stay, very nice and clean, and location is spot on location. Would definitely stay again.
• Kenneth (10/5): just a lovely stay catch up with family avery nice cafe for braekfast near by - great location 2 mins to beach lovely big house apartment was the cleanest we have stoped at and all the treets in fridge was very good well done you felt lovely and safe very nice location will stop there again when we go back
• Georgia (7/5): Good - Self check in, very clean, great shower and toiletries. Complimentary mini fridge. Room a little smaller than expected, lots of transmitted sound from landing.
• Nicholas (10/5): Exceptional property, beautifully presented well maintained and well equipped -
• Jane (9/5): Superb -
• Carol (10/5): Exceptional - It's a beautifully appointed mini apartment with all you need for a break away and it is immaculate! Having booked before I knew it would be welcoming and quiet plus the manager is so helpful I felt completely relaxed. The location is excellent for exploring Southsea, Portsmouth and beyond plus easy parking right outside.
• Robert (7/5): The room was adequate for my one-night stay. - Location was fine, shower was easy to operate and had a proper mat, plenty of tea and coffee available to make. IN a basic sort of way, very satisfactory. When I locked myself out on the Sunday morning, the texted advice was prompt and exactly what I needed. Getting into the house in the dark was difficult, as I couldn't work out where the key box was: it turned out to be what I'd thought was a burglar alarm, as a resident told me when he happened to emerge while I was flailing. The light that comes on near the porch goes off almost immediately. Once inside, you need to know how to switch the lights on: advice (which is very simple) needs to be given in advance. Room could do with a chair (there is none!) and some kind of table or surface to put things on (books, papers).
• Chloe (10/5): very comfortable stay - the property was in an ideal location and it was very comfortable and clean n/a
• Georgia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Danielle (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jackie (10/5): Exceptional - Thank treats was perfect will recommend to anyone brilliant xx Nothing
• Martyn (10/5): Exceptional -
• Peter (8/5): A small but new addition to the accommodation stock of the area. - We liked the location: we had stayed in a similar place several times before. It is convenient to explore historic Portsmouth and is on a major bus line. We have bus passes and parking in Portsmouth is expensive. The apartment was small but obviously new. All the fittings were unmarked. It was warm and the beds were good. The description said that there was a kitchenette: I like to cook so had brought eggs, bacon pasta and vegetables. And all that there was was a microwave. And I brought it all home again... A microwave can only reheat bought food and I think that should be made clearer. We are both over 70 and my wife had to get down on her knees to open the shower door: very hard to open.
• Kay (10/5): Lovely apartment. - Lovely apartment and very well located in a quiet road for exploring Southsea or hopping over to the Isle of Wight for the day. Spotlessly clean with some lovely nibbles and drinks left to make you feel welcome . Very comfortable bed and a powerful hot shower. Great communication from the host with clear instructions on how to access the property on arrival and how to contact them should any problems arise. Would thoroughly recommend. We will be staying again. Can't think of any negatives.
• Janice (10/5): Excellent - Breakfast not provided. I liked everything if I was to say anything I would have liked some drawer space Just the above, more drawer space
• William (10/5): Exceptional -
• Beckie (10/5): we had a lovely stay with Southsea Studios they went extra mile to make our stay comfortable with hire bikes and mini fr - customer service was exceptional nothing not too like all needs catered for
• Aisling (10/5): Perfect - clean, calm & comfortable with a lovely mini bar! Nothing I didn’t like. Fantastic place
• Justyna (10/5): Exceptional -
