Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Wellington Restaurant And Bar enjoys a cracking location near the Historic Sea Front and within walking distance of Gunwarf Keys and Spinnaker Tower, making it convenient for exploring Portsmouth. Guests often appreciate the good value for money and the provision of tea and coffee in the rooms. While the pub itself has sometimes been reported as closed, many find the location surprisingly quiet, even above the pub, and appreciate the proximity to local pubs and the beach. Some guests have mentioned occasional issues with internet speed and shower issues.

Acceptable Location, Noticeable Flaws

unsafe heater toilet door
The location offered convenient access to nearby attractions.
I found the room's cleanliness lacking, with visible dust accumulation on surfaces. The toilet door in my room did not lock properly. This impacted my sense of privacy. the shower was somewhat unpleasant. The heater looked unsafe.
