"The hotel's location is great, right in the outlet village. It's about a ten-minute walk from Portsmouth Harbour train station; just enter the outlet from the station. The staff were all very friendly, patient, and enthusiastic. The hotel offers free luggage storage. After booking on Trip.com, I was notified via email that the central air conditioning was still under repair. Upon check-in, they gave me a can of water. The hotel facilities are typical of an older budget hotel in China, quite dated. The price was a bit high. In the room, there was only shampoo, conditioner, and hand soap, which seems to be common in UK hotels. The room was clean and well-maintained, but there was no desk, only one chair, and no charging points near the bed. Breakfast was a standard continental spread, sufficient to fill you up. A pleasant surprise was finding a Whittard store downstairs where I bought my favorite fruit tea at a discounted price. Right outside the hotel, there's a Tesco supermarket, and opposite Tesco is a brunch spot. There are also several restaurants and cafes within the outlet village, making dining very convenient. From the outlet, it's about a fifteen-minute walk to the Mary Rose Museum, where you can see King Henry VIII's favorite warship, salvaged after more than 400 years at the bottom of the sea – a must-visit for history buffs!"
