Super cozy rooms, great service, pleasant staff. It was a good experience especially when you're new to the town.

Booked for a base for an early morning funeral. The staff were all very nice and attentive. Didn't eat there but drank plenty. No draft Guiness but cans. I can't remember if there was any draft lager or bitter but Gin a plenty and red wine. Rooms were adequate and clean.

Friendly reception but food was poor - basic clean accommodation but looks tired - not sure I would go there again - have had better accommodation for a less money - receptionist was lovely but she was on her own

A very nice and friendly hotel. We stay there when cruising from Southampton. Only half hour away and a lot cheaper than Southampton hotels

My partner and I stayed in the Travelrest in Fareham on the 9th of December 2021, the room was what you expect for the money, beds reasonably comfortable until we were rudely awaken really early by the cleaner and the banging of doors and footsteps. For this I rate this hotel 2 stars.

2nd time my partner and I have stayed in the hotel in a disabled accessible room and most definitely will not be our last, accessible rooms we've had were amazing, lots of rooms and easy to get around, bed very comfortable and bathroom great, shower easy to use too. Staff we dealt with were all unbelievably friendly, helpful and couldn't help more. Definitely recommend to anyone

Lovely place to stay very spacious rooms. Very comfy beds, rooms clean and tidy everything you need in one place. The staff were fantastic and nothing was to much trouble for them. Breakfast was amazing. I will definitely be staying there again. Great value for money.

We came all the way from Yorkshire after a long 7 hour drive and we were not disappointed. The hotel is beautiful with a really warm-welcoming and polite staff. The room was clean and the breakfast was incredible. Definitely a great value for money. I will be staying here again when I come to the south and will highly recommend anyone to stay here if they plan on visiting the area!

Not such a good stay this time. I asked for a quiet room on booking form but think the plumbing for other rooms ran through this room as I could constantly hear taps turned on and flushing water. The shower was changing temperature by itself and at one point the noise coming from it scared us as it sounded like something was going to blow! The bed was comfy and the room clean, however trivial I know but only 1 pack of biscuits between 2 when you've travelled 200 miles is a bit of a tease as we were ravenous.

This was not the fault of the hotel but we were woken several times throughout the night by noisy residents one time at 3.40 in the morning where a man was on the landing near our room shouting John and that was me awake for the rest of the night. I would stay there again as this was our first negative stay

Just needed a get away for a couple of days and booked this lovely hotel for a bargain price. Not pretentious & such friendly staff. Hotel very clean & covid aware. Will definitely return soon. Slept so well in a spacious room with no noise from the main road noticed at all. Only a few minutes drive to Portsmouth and all it has to offer as well as a few minutes to a lovely coastline. Plenty of cafe, s takeaways & restaurants nearby. Didn't eat at the Travelrest but breakfast did smell divine in the mornings.
