“Old Victory House Homestay strikes me as a practical choice for exploring Portsmouth's naval history; the location is a real asset. I particularly like the idea of a shared kitchen for keeping costs down. It's a no-frills base, and the included breakfast at a nearby spot is a definite perk.”

Really good Location with Great Breakfast

The location was convenient near the harbor station. I appreciated having access to a kitchen diner . It offered a homey touch. Staff members were genuinely helpful and amicable. The room had coffee making facilities and complimentary water bottles.
The sink area in my room felt a bit small, and the plug mechanism didn't function perfectly.
