Stattons Boutique Hotel & Restaurant

Service above and beyond. Booked a last minute room, staff member noticed my disability and effortlessly and politely moved me to a room that was more accessible, then showed me a step-free route in and out of the hotel. Room warm, bed very comfortable, shower perfect and room spotless. Excellent

Single room number 4 probably the smallest hotel room I've ever had but it worked and was excellent with a really comfortable bed and a great shower to boot ,would definitely stop here again next time I'm about and the pub next to the place does a great steak and chips .Not quite sure why you have to pay for parking though but there was an excellent young lady on reception who showed me where to park

We have stayed over the last few years in a number of the Mercer hotels and keep returning because we like them so much. This visit we booked Stattons for a change and we didn’t regret it . I have a feeling we’ll be booking the same room next time we visit Southsea . The room (3) was spectacularly light and airy and beautifully furnished . The bed was super comfortable and it was so quiet at night we had the best sleep ever . I phoned reception as I couldn’t find a hair dryer and within 5 minutes one was delivered to my door ! Cannot fault any of the service . There has been quite a lot of investment since our last visit which was just before Covid and it shows ! Breakfast room ,garden room the reception moving location and the standard of decor . We look forward to our next visit and hope to stay longer next time

Lovely building, decent interior, very clean, kitchen well stocked, helpful staff. Unlike when it operates as a hotel, no amenity products were supplied (not even shower gel) which was disappointing considering the price for private hire, and limiting check in check (4pm!) and check out (10am!) times, again compared to a hotel and the additional price. So despite booking over '3 days' Fri - Sun for a weekend, we would have been there for only 40hrs in total had we not paid an extra £400 for late check out which is essential for family breakfast and pack up etc. Overall a nice experience but left feeling like value for money wasn't there.

Stayed here for 4 nights with a group of friends.We had a very enjoyable stay.We were in the Statton annexe a short walk to the main reception and where you go for breakfast.Our room was on the ground floor and was very comfy.large bed lovely shower room and bright and colourful decor.All the rooms seem to be decorated differently adding to the charm.The FlorenceArms Pub served excellent food with very friendly staff.I would like to mention Ellie who was so helpful,nothing was too much trouble.She and another receptionist carried cases,bags up upstairs and downstairs.She is a very valuable asset to these 3 hotels.Breakfast was a treat with a varied menu,the sausages are to die for.I would recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again P

Strattons is one of 3 typical Victorian wealthy family houses converted to hotels with modern plumbing and electrics in a quiet residential area of Southsea. They share reception and breakfast rooms at the Garden Restaurant 50 yards along Florence Road. There is also the Florence Arms Gastro-pub a further 50 beyond. The busy and noisy cafes and bars of Palmerston Road are 10 minutes’ walk to the North West (I have walked it). There are a couple of convenience stores at the end of Beach Road about 5 mins walk. The sea front is 200 yards to the South with Southsea Castle, where Henry VIII watched the sinking of the Mary Rose, 10 minutes’ walk along the front. The famous painting of that day shows the English army’s tented camp in the bottom right corner on the site where the hotel stands today. As is typical of this style of house, the main entrance (the family entrance) is up a flight of steps from the road to the first floor. There is no lift. For those with mobility issues there are 2 large bedrooms in what would have been the kitchen and service area on the ground floor with level access from the private, gated car park. There is an extra charge for this car park but the hotel can supply a temporary residents’ permit for free on-street parking. My room was on the 3rd floor, in what would have been servants’ quarters. The original fireplace indicates it was probably an important servant, the house keeper or butler. It was a good-sized room with a firm but comfortable king-sized bed and room to move around it. It has a large flat screen HD TV fixed to the wall above the fireplace; also a strong, free wi-fi signal. An en-suite shower room/toilet has been fitted along one side. It’s compact but with all modern fittings. It was a pleasure to find a shower not only with a door that closes properly but a simple on/off twist to the left and a clearly marked hot/cold twist to the right. It would have been nice to have a soap dish, somewhere to park the soap or shampoo bottle rather than hold it in my hand or drop it on the floor. Considering the distance from the boiler the hot water came through very quickly. Nice big towel too. The only grumble I have with the room doesn’t actually affect me personally but a female guest has nowhere to sit and do her make-up and hair. The small table is covered with tea/coffee things and the chair is too low and desperately in need of re-upholstering. There is a full-length mirror but not one for the table or a light by it. The single room across the landing has all these but I cannot speak for other rooms. The Garden Restaurant for breakfast is part conservatory, part well-appointed rooms. It has a pleasant busy ambiance. Orders are taken, food is served, quietly and efficiently. I did not hear any over-loud music. It serves a substantial full English breakfast and variations on that to order. I was disappointed to find very little fresh fruit on the menu; no blueberries or fruit salad. I would also liked to have se
