Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Ibis Budget Portsmouth is often described as a cheap and cheerful option, conveniently located near a Tesco and various dining choices like Subway, KFC, Costa, and McDonald's, all within a short walk. The rooms are considered neat and clean, equipped with comfortable beds and modern lighting, although some guests have mentioned the absence of a kettle in the room, which can be obtained from reception. While parking directly outside the hotel is limited, the proximity to a shopping center with free parking is a definite plus, offering easy access to shops and food. Many appreciate the microwave available at reception.

the location was good for nearby shopping.
parking availability was poor. i had to park some distance away, and this caused me considerable inconvenience. the room was also quite small and lacked essential amenities, such as tea and coffee making facilities. overall, the room felt very basic for the price i paid.

Clean and Convenient Stay

The room provided basic amenities and was neat. The staff was helpful, assisting with a kettle, tea, milk, and coffee from the nearby Tesco. I especially appreciated Tina at reception, who offered local information and assistance.
The car parking availability was limited, and I had to park in the adjacent retail park. This wasn't ideal, especially with concerns about safety and potential flooding. I felt unsure leaving my vehicle there.
