Fantastic place to stay with super hosts
Our host, Mubi, was fantastic and she couldn’t have made us feel more welcome. She showed us to our room and gave us a tour of the spa. Fantastic place to stay and beautiful rooms.

What amazing facilities. The communal area had a table tennis table, table football, pool table, air hockey, electronic game, large screen TV, seating area and access to a full kitchen. So much more than a room to stay in. Everyone was friendly and I will be staying again.

Very nice stay at Ashbys
Nice location near many restaurants but pretty quiet. Easy walk to beaches. Fairly big room with comfortable bed and sofa bed. Nice common area with billiards, air hockey, foosball, and video game console. The spa area seemed nice but was a tad too pricey for family use.

What a find!
I only stayed for business, but what a find! It was such a nice environment; there was so much to do and see. Beautiful decoration, latest modern conveniences, clean and fresh, and a comfy bed. What more could you ask for? I will be recommending this place to anyone I know visiting Portsmouth :)
