The Clarence Hotel

No air conditioning, no elevator (all room up some stairs), check in at a different location than hotel that is about a 5 min walk so have to carry luggage down residential roads by yourself.

Amazing experince at this hotel, had booked the wrong dates through Hotels.com with vouchers and a no refund price. Went into reception to see if they would amend my booking to a week earlier, not expecting to be able to do so and expecting the usual "computer says no" Could not have been more wrong. The receptionist (Harrison) went out of his way to accomodate myself and my husband offering us an upgraded room. The room was beautiful, spacious and immaculately clean. The room was warm and confortable and the breakfast was fantastic. The location was so convenient for Southsea rstaurants and access to the promenade, short walks in both directions to Gunwharf Quays and Southsea Pier. Parking was free as long as you don't mind parking on the road with a permit. Could not recommend highly enough!

Very misleading information - no indication at time of booking that you had to check in around the corner from the accomodation and walk to it dragging suitcases with you. Room was disappointing and not worth it for the price.
