The breakfast was nice, and friendly staff all round.

We received a warm welcome on arrival with a full debrief about bar opening times, breakfast etc.

Breakfast was superb plus Lenuta who worked behind front desk and the bar.

My partner and I stayed here in June for 2 nights, amazing clean room and fabulous breakfast.

The hotel has a nice bar and breakfast is taken in the basement dining room with an excellent choice of food.

Breakfast was excellent, good choice and freshly cooked.

That said, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the staff are very attentive, the bar is a lovely bonus and there was a great choice for breakfast.

Breakfast in the basement room was excellent with a good vegetarian choice.

Food well presented with a good breakfast menu.

The full English Breakfast was one of the best (of many) that I have ever had.

Checked  into our room which was decorated beautifully and very clean breakfast was good Quality ingredients cooked very well

Clean, comfortable, friendly and attentive staff and great breakfast.

Breakfast at Seacrest is an absolute delight, I had eggs royale one morning and the veggie breakfast on the other morning, both were fantastic.

Nice little bar, freshly cooked breakfasts.

Breakfast was fine, standard cooked breakfast or variations of, the bar was fine

This isn't often the case with hotels where they can tend to look at children as a nuisance.

Had to walk down the road and round to the front, we would of liked to bring our case in from car

Arrived mid morning so asked the receptionist if we leave our bags with them and if there was a hotel car park, was told that no car park

although it was fairly small, there was plenty of room for my case etc.

We bought the last bag of crisps from the bar separately!

The lift is tiny and if you have bags larger than carry on luggage then your going to struggle to get two people in it, your better off walking up the stairs if possible.

but we were told that whilst we could use them they tended to be kept for late arrivals in case the on road parking is full.

although maybe there could have been two packets of hot choc in case we both fancied one.

Couldn't swing a cat, the décor absolutely awful, the toilet seat broken and a struggle up and down steps with the bags.

An ideally situated hotel for holiday, or in our case a one night stop over following journey from France on Ferry.

just in case I couldn't get in for next time!

but to get to many of the rooms there are steep steps, as was the case with our room.

Bit of a nightmare when you have 3 cases and 2 miserable teenagers after a long car journey and the next morning it's torrential rain!

Rooms are very small, we had trouble with our 2 suitcases as there wasnt any room for more than one.

however decided we wouldn't move the car all weekend in case we lost our parking place.

I paid extra for a room at front so I could have reliable wifi, I phoned in advance to check on this, I was told it was hit and miss to rear rooms ok at front, this was not the case as it kept loosing connection.

Had a lovely clean room overlooking the sea.

Lovely friendly staff, emaculate and clean furnishings.

Impeccable customer service and overall hotel cleanliness.

Clean, comfortable and with staff who make sure you will enjoy your stay.

What a lovely country hotel,came for a weekend break,has lovely pub restaurant next door, country walks,felt so relaxed and recharged ,room was very clean and spacious,hotel management Marie is so professional ,helpful and delightful,Marie bent over backward to make my stay enjoyable,highly recommend for weekend aways,and family holidays and if Marie is on shift your in for a bonus to met this fantastic lady Keep up the good work Marie,shall hope to see you on my next stay

The hotel is very clean with friendly staff.

Room very clean with all the facilities needed.

Both rooms, while compact, were very clean and well-appointed.

The location, appearance and cleanliness are all top notch.

Hotel was lovely and clean, the staff were so helpful, especially Lenuta, she amended my booking for me and made me fell very welcome, would definitely be booking this hotel next time I’m working in the area.

Very clean and well maintained with really friendly staff.

However can’t fault the cleanliness everywhere.

However it is clean, with friendly staff.

Perfect for our needs on a recent visit, nice and clean, good hot shower, a small bar and the rooms quiet enough that neighbours were no problem.

The rooms and en suite bathrooms were beautiful - we had booked rooms that had sea views, everything was spotlessly clean and had excellent facilities.

The room was clean and everyone was so nice in the hotel.

but both rooms cold because of the windows, which were in a terrible state of repair - it was a very windy day and the wind was whistling in, also noisy from passers by.

I had scrambled egg and beans with toast for breakfast, the toast was hardly toasted and beans were cold.

The weather wasn’t very warm while we visited so if it’s cooler when your staying, make sure you ask for the heating to be kept on rather than going off on the timer because it gets really quite cold through the night.

The breakfast was very poor: cheap ingredients,  and limited cold options(yoghurt).

It was a little cold when we first went in

It was a freezing cold December night and after what seemed like an endless journey we were thrilled to see the Seacrest sign.

However it wasn't cold and there was a small electric fan heater in the room .

Only little thing is felt room and bathroom was cold, could not work out how to put heating on

My husband is rather elderly and didn't want to wait around on a cold day so the hotel were very happy for him to sit in the warm lounger during the marathon and only go to the sea front to watch our daughter finish!

As we were there at the end of November it was very cold, 0 degrees at times

Cold room at rear of hotel as heating not turned on for long enough.

however first night was cold and central heating appeared to be off and it was an unseasonably cold night.

but a bit cold due to the fact front door splits the rooms up and draft enters when people come in and out.

Unfortunately there was no hot water on the Sunday morning, showers were cold.

I had one little complaint that the shower in our room didn't work correctly, the temperature was very erratic boiling hot then stone cold and it didn't matter where you put the dial.

but as with all UK hotels the toast came out too early and was cold once cooked food arrived.

Bathing the next morning was a struggle, getting my self out on the cold bathroom floor.

Tea and coffee facilities along with fresh cold water (bottled) were in the room.

but I have to say the best thing about this hotel is the team they are professional but so friendly they made our stay.

Carmen and Lenuta were fantastic and even Carmelena from housekeeping was lovely and friendly.

We played some board games each evening over a bottle of wine and the ladies behind the bar offered a good friendly service

We were warmly welcomed by the friendly manager and the car parking was quickly sorted.

So glad we booked it, beautiful hotel with fabulous friendly staff.

Everything is spotlessly clean and the breakfast was delicious: high quality ingredients and served by lovely friendly and flexible staff.

We can't praise the staff highly enough, I don't think we have come across a friendlier team before, who all clearly want to provide a great customer experience and were all so friendly.

to 8am- The Hotel will also give you a parking voucher which only costs 2 pounds for the whole day-

The staff are very friendly

3 nights short break, good value, spotlessly clean, very helpful friendly staff.

All the staff were exceedingly friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them.

Had fabulous weekend at Seacrest, location very good for all things to do.

A good location, a few minutes walk from Southsea pier, and a 30 min walk to Gunwharf Quay.

Really good location for any sightseeing.

It is in a perfect location for exploring Southsea and Portsmouth and we had a fantastic view over the park, the solent and out to the Isle of Wight from our room.

If you want a good hotel, with lovely staff and tasty food, in a great location- you can't go wrong with this hotel.

For the price and location, this was exceptional.

The building was beautiful, and in a great location.

This hotel is in a great location as there are plenty of places to visit locally on foot in Southsea, Portsmouth (we enjoyed Spinnaker Tower - 35 minute walk away) and Isle of Wight just  8 minutes away on a Hovercraft.

Well located, lovely room and great breakfast.

The hotel was in a great position,  not too far away from Portsmouth town and the Naval museums.

The hotel is in a great location on a residential street overlooking the Solent.

The location is excellent, right on Southsea seafront--
the hotel is very nicely decorated, very quaint, it has large bedrooms and comfortable beds with very good quality Wi-Fi.

Great location on South Parade just opposite the seafront.

The hotel is in a great location with a view of the sea from our room.

True gem of a hotel and location brilliant.

We loved the decor in the two lounges really fitted perfectly with the hotel,  it is a real little gem, in a prime position.

This hotel oozed charm from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the decor, the location and the staff.

The seafront location provides great views

Furthermore, there was great food service to allow a nice start to the day, and lovely aid from the attentive and polite lenuta from the staff team.

I wish we had stayed in for dinner as the offerings in the immediate area were pretty slim.

Southsea's bar and restaurants are only a short walk away.

but we were recommended the very good local gastro pub, where hotel guests receive a small discount.

Breakfast was superb with a varied menu, we loved the Waffles with maple syrup and the full English, which was pretty filling!

We were given plenty of information and recommendations for places to eat.

Breakfast was delicious with a reasonable choice of meals.

Food spectacular, room service immaculate and all round stunning building

The breakfasts were excellent with plenty of choice and very tasty (they clearly have a good breakfast chef or 2) and again the staff were happy to set a table for 6 for us each morning, which meant we could all breakfast together.

Near the seafront and only 10 minutes from restaurant ,bars and shops.

Breakfast in the morning was one of the best I have had anywhere, I didn't need to eat anything else during the day.

It’s also only a 2 minute walk from some amazing restaurants, bonus.

A great selection of food available at breakfast.

Breakfast was very good with a great menu to choose from plus the usual cereals, again staff couldn’t do enough for you.

Breakfast was served in the basement restaurant and was of a very high standard.

Seaview room is a must as can watch the comings and goings at Spithead.

Our room, at the rear of the hotel, was quiet and comfortable.

However that didn’t spoil things, the room was lovely, we didn’t have a sea view

The room was beautifully decorated and comfortable with loads of storage.

Breakfast was taken in the lower ground floor dining room, which was made so cosy with a warm fire.

The room was very comfortable and the Hotel staff is top of the line.

Negative points were room was very small & compact, bed was a very small double & heating is on timer that switches off at 11pm regardless of whether your room is cold so not the best nights sleep.

Our room was a small double, and was just that,

but found the twin room a bit on the small side and probably more comfortable for one person.

The room was quite small, room 24 I think and the bed was about as small as you could get while still calling it a double.

hubby would have liked beans with his 😂

room small

My immaculately clean single room was a bit on the small side

The only downside that we found was that the room was a little small,

The hotel is spotless, rooms a little on the small side

Their sea-view room was really quite small, and the sea-view certainly did not live up to expectation.

Highly impressed with the hardworking house manager Lenuta, who could do enough for you.

Staff were always there to help with polite manners.

Comfortable rooms, pleasant staff, very well positioned on the Southsea seafront.

The staff was very helpful and professional.

We have been overwhelmed by the friendliness and level of service at the Seacrest ever since our first visit in 2014 and it's great to see that even with new staff that friendliness has not changed.

Staff always happy to help and very welcoming.

We would not stay again because of the bed and the steep stairs to the restaurant

The lift was very prompt, so we never tried the stairs.

I asked the chap downstairs , where’s the breakfast room please , “ Down stairs “ great , just as I moved

although there are stairs down to the dining room.

but they could accommodate you if unable to make the stairs.

but the website makes that quite clear, so I knew there would only be that one flight of stairs to deal with - and there are handrails on both sides, which is a huge help.

Breakfast is served in a room downstairs and only way to get to it is a flight of stairs.My partner has walking difficulties so could not make the stairs as the lift dose not go down to that level.They were so accommodating by setting up a table upstairs in the sitting room for us, we felt very special.

but that was after I blocked the light coming under the door and when I woke in the morning all I could smell was breakfast cooking as we were at the top of the stairs from the restaurant and kitchen.

but the instructions in the room were not good, we could not see the emergency lighting from our room and the flight of stairs up from first floor to our room were unlit.

Our room was booked late it was on the third floor accessed by stairs or a small lift.

but its a shame was winter so couldn't see it, in the ebvening, there is a mini bar down stairs which was a reasonable price.

If you struggle with stairs this hotel isn't for you.

Secondly, there are steps up to the front door, and this, coupled with the fact that the dining room is in the basement, would rule out the venue for anyone who cannot climb stairs.

although the stairs down to the restaurant  would be challenging for less able-bodied customers.

Yes the stairs are steep and the lift small,

Just the hallway and stairs need a little updating.

The views of the ships, the Solent and beyond are fantastic.

We stayed in a superior king size with sea view, which, as with the rest of the hotel, was beautifully decorated.

Highly recommended hotel on the sea front

We stayed here for one night in a king sized sea view room which was lovely.

We had a reasonably priced double room with sea view that was lovely and comfortable.

but if you want a sea view then that has to be tolerated.

Superb hotel, excellent staff and nice sea view.

We stayed in an apartment with two rooms and a central lounge with fantastic sea views.

Our room overlooked the gardens & sea and I loved the wallpaper.

We had one of the larger seaview rooms which catered for our needs and had all the relevant amenities.

We ate breakfast each morning, the choice and selection was great and set us up for the day.

We stayed at the lakeside hotel for one night with dinner breakfast and spa treatments.

Lunch was delicious and the waiters and waitresses were very friendly and attentive.

The food at the buffet left me severely disenchanted the items had been sitting in bain maries for ages which made food very dry.

The food is of a very high standard we ate breakfast and also dined in the evening and it is the standard you would get from a high class restaurant.

Everything I ate was delicious and of a good quality.

but did have our breakfasts and dinner reservations.

The food was delicious and very reasonably priced for the 3 course evening meal.

Food was delicious and the staff so friendly.

The food in the restaurant was lovely, both the evening meal and the breakfast.

Excellent food and served promptly both at dinner and breakfast All Covid precautions were observed  throughout the hotel and spar.

The offer included ferry crossing, room, spa facilities, afternoon tea, one evening meal and breakfast on both days.

Roast beef and delicious jus well presented and excellent value . .

Most of all the evening meal & breakfast were amazing.

My wife and I stayed for 7 nights at the Lakeside Park Hotel mid October having booked an accomodation, dinner & breakfast deal through the offpeakluxuary web site.

We had breakfast in the restaurant and service was good and good range of food available.

Dinner and breakfast very good so compliments to chef.

We went to a Friends wedding reception at the Lakeside Park Hotel , its  a lovely location and the staff are super  friendly and helpful .

although Florence was very pleasant and friendly greeting us on our arrival which was nice.

Also the staff we encountered were friendly.

Service was good, and staff were friendly and attentive.

The setting is beautiful, the staff are friendly and polite.

Really friendly staff especially, Laura on Reception, Mia in Restaurant, Max at bar and Gary.

Claire is warm, friendly and amazing 🤩 I am now in a world of zen, huge thanks 😊

Needs a manager who cares and staff who are friendly and a cleaner.

The staff are friendly and our stay was adequate , just a little uncomfortable with our total bill for room and breakfast for 3 nights being £740 .

The staff are friendly and try their best to help.

The food was equally good and the staff were friendly, efficient and professional.

Found the staff more than helpful and friendly .

Staff were friendly and helped to make the whole evening something we won't forget.

The Lakeside is friendly with lovely comfortable rooms, beautiful surroundings and great staff.

The staff are friendly and helpful and if you are looking to stay in the Isle of Wight, look no further.

The food was absolutely fab and the staff, especially Doug were so friendly.
