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, with the bus N° 1 providing easy access to naval museums for around 2 pounds. Guests appreciate the modern, clean rooms and find the free parking, sometimes across the road near B&Q, a real plus. The proximity to Tesco Extra (just a 1-minute walk) and nearby fast-food options like KFC and Subway make meals easy, with a microwave available in the canteen; some guests have noted that the rooms can feel a little compact. A simple buffet breakfast is available from 06:00, especially handy for those catching an early ferry just 10 minutes away.

the location proved convenient for my needs. a good local bus service operated nearby, and parking on site was available..
the room felt quite compact for the number of occupants. i also noted the absence of a kettle, so making a cup of tea in the room was not possible.

the reception staff were very friendly and helpful. the room had electric car charging ports available. the location was convenient as it made it easy to find something to eat and the train station was very close by (a real plus for travelling around!).
i found the lack of a kettle and hot drinks in the room disappointing. it would have been nice to have these amenities readily available. the bed wasn't particularly comfortable, so sleep quality suffered a bit.

the staff were friendly and helpful. it was nice to have a huge tesco nearby, so i could grab essentials. the shower was also good, it worked properly. reception had kettles available, i needed that.
there was too many blinking lights in my room. also, huge stores nearby had their neon lights on all night. i really wished for blackout curtains to block all the light when i wanted the window open.
