Jolly Sailor review

I stay in the Jolly Sailor every week for business. The owner and his staff are very hospitable. Rooms are basic but comfortable, staff very friendly and there is free parking after 6.00pm. Situated close to Southsea front where you can take a walk with the fresh sea breeze. It's my home from home.

Lovely friendly staff, property is just dated and needs a lot of TLS. Bedroom smelt of stale smoke. But loved the bay window seating. We had a little picnic there admiring the view.

Very disappointing

Owners didnt bother to get parking permits, so had to pay almost £14 a day to park car. Not impressed. Most expensive pint in whole of portsmouth £6.80. Way over the top considering run down state of place. Even dearer than central london. Sink had hole in it so water went straight on floor. On the one plus side, bed was comfortable.

To cold for no heating

Room was freezing as the heating wasn’t on they did give us a small electric heater which didn’t make any difference No towels or tea bags We couldn’t turn the tv over or volume down because every button on the remote we pressed just knocked the tv off The parking was not complimentary as stated it was £13 for 24 hours on the upside it was just across the road to the hotel The toilet was just across the hall and the view from our room was lovely
