Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Ibis Budget Portsmouth from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Ibis Budget Portsmouth is often chosen for its convenient location near transport options, including a roughly 10-minute walk from the train station. You'll also find a Tesco, KFC, Costa, and McDonald's within a 5-minute walk, with Lidl a bit further. The hotel offers comfortable beds and practical amenities; some guests have mentioned that the parking situation can sometimes be a bit challenging, requiring a walk to an alternative car park, and that rooms may be small for families. A microwave is available at reception, and complimentary morning coffee is a welcome touch for many.

The staff were happy polite and helpful. it. i found tina on reception great. She changed my room because i had mistakenly booked on the first floor and she arranged for me to be on the fourth floor.
The air condition did not function properly by cooling the room. the laundry service employee saw us going toward the lift. She did not acknowledge us. she quickly pulled the trolley into the lift, poor customer service.
