Number Four

So I’m in Portsmouth for my last marathon of the year. When I booked my place, I searched the area for a nice hotel which was close to the start. I happened to stumble across No.4… How lucky I was!
This place is incredible. The décor, furnishing and food is very good but the best part of this place is the staff.
Special shout outs to Kim and Lisa who work on reception. They really made the effort and provided customer service which I’ve found very hard to come by on my travels!
For example: for a marathon breakfast, I tend to have yoghurt, granola and two bananas. I’ve stayed in places in the past where I’ve had to go and buy my own and make it in my room but at No.4, you don’t need to worry about that. They will do it for you! Unreal!
I had a standard double room which was clean, nicely sized with a separate shower room. The hotel has free wifi which is always a big hit with me… as you know!
The location is great! situated in a quiet residential road with allocated parking at the front but also lots of a free parking available on the street. You’re well located to get to the sea but equally into Portsmouth itself for all the shops and restaurants. Again, when asking where to go, Lisa kindly suggested a place which worked out really well for myself and my friends.
All in all, five out of five easily… if there was an option for six I would definitely give it to them.
A great, intimate hotel with excellent staff and customer service!
Check it out!

We had the family room on the top floor as we were staying with our two baby girls. It was really nicely furnished and we had loads of space. The staff were attentive, friendly and accommodating — nothing seemed to be an issue for them. I’ve already recommended it to friends. Can’t wait to go back to them and their sister hotels.
