The hype
Great facilities and comfortable beds, but the location is isolated if you don't have a car.
Village Hotel Portsmouth
$100-$150 / noč
Rezerviraj to, če Book this if you want a modern, amenity-packed basecamp with a massive gym and pool, and don't mind being in a business park outside the city center.
Zakaj je to priljubljeno
- Massive state-of-the-art gym and 20m heated pool
- On-site Starbucks and lively Pub & Grill
- Easy M27 highway access and ample parking
Hitri pregled: It's a slick, corporate-cool hotel that nickel-and-dimes you for pool access and parking unless you pay to upgrade your room.
Pregledano od @Shelleylovestotravel: My stay in this Club Room was such a steal! The king bed was incredibly comfy, and I was obsessed with the smart privacy glass in the bathroom. Getting free parking and having a Starbucks on-site made everything so easy. Definitely my new go-to spot in Portsmouth.

Pogosta vprašanja in skriti nasveti
Vse, kar res želiš vedeti, preden rezerviraš.
Is the pool free to use?
No. Unless you book a Club Room, standard guests must pay a £5 daily fee to access the pool and gym.
How much is parking?
It costs £10 per night Monday through Thursday, and £5 per night Friday through Sunday. It's free if you upgrade to a Club Room.
Can I walk to the city center or the waterfront?
Not easily. The hotel is in a business park about 4 miles from the city center. You'll need a car, an Uber, or a bus.
Is breakfast included?
Usually no. An English buffet breakfast is available for an extra fee (around £12.50), but there's also a Starbucks on-site for a cheaper, quicker bite.
Are pets allowed?
No, the Village Hotel Portsmouth is strictly pet-free, with exceptions only for service animals.
Is it a quiet hotel?
During the week, yes. On weekends, it's a very popular spot for stag and hen parties, so expect a rowdier vibe.

Do the math on a Club Room upgrade—the £30 fee often pays for itself by waiving the parking and gym fees.

Use the VWorks coworking space if you need to get things done; it's much better than working from your room.

If you want to leave the car behind, look for the £3 single fare bus route that goes straight into Portsmouth.

💡The gym isn't just a hotel gym; it's a massive local health club with over 20 cardio machines and fitness classes.
💡The 'resort fee' style pricing for basic amenities is very un-British and catches many locals off guard.
💡You're right next to Lakeside North Harbour, which has a nice little walking path for a morning stroll.
💡The hotel is entirely cashless—don't bother bringing paper money.
💡Check-in is done via self-service kiosks, which is fast but lacks a personal, welcoming touch.
