A really well run hotel with character in a pleasant part of Southsea. Whilst the structure of the buildings poses some constraints the staff and management overcome this with a great work ethic and service standard. I would look forward to staying again when visiting Portsmouth. :-)

Perfect Southsea stay
My husband and I have just returned from an overnight stay at Somerset House, so we could go to a gig locally at the Wedgewood rooms. The whole experience was seamless and could not have been more perfect. We had a beautiful ground floor room, with a king size bed, luxurious furnishings and lovely bathroom. When we checked in the receptionist was amazing, gave me the permit, took our booking for breakfast and even moved our checkout time a little for a work meeting I needed privacy for ...she even went as far as to walk with us to our room and explain the WiFi and access process. The building felt so secure and the location was so so quiet. We also had breakfast included with the price of our room, so much choice and gorgeous food. In all honesty, we wished we had stayed longer, it was just such a wonderful experience and will definitely be staying again.
