Having left for Portsmouth very last minute our choices of hotels were very limited. In retrospect we're not at all surprised to the Saville had vacancies. Stained (bodily fluid) walls, carpets, damp musty smell mixed with cigarette smoke. Building felt like a crack den. We weren't murdered and if you're on a night out and need a bed its hilarious.

got to the hotel to be told that I wasn't allowed any guests in my room at all, so my friend had to wait in the lobby whilst I got ready to go out. Upon leaving, I had to hand in my key again and was told that if I wasn't back by 2am, I wouldn't be able to get... More

It's clean (some reviewers are confusing "old" for "dirty"), the hotel staff... More

There is a fire escape outside some of the upper rooms - great I hear you say ..... shame that the windows don't open wide enough to fit anyone larger than a small child through them! The electrics in the room were... More

On walking into this hotel (if thats what you can call it) the carpet had seen better days about 40 years ago and i don't think it hsa seen a hoover . Also the gent on the desk could not find us booked in i wish he did not find us. The stairs were an accident waiting to happen .... More

It was our own fault, we booked this place in a rush and with all other hotels fully booked, without reading the other reviews on this site...Big mistake! How bad could it possibly be? The building itself was once a true beauty in a great location, but it has been left to fade into a tired if not ever so... More

When my parents came to stay I wanted them to have a wonderful stay. I checked the hotel room before I booked them in. The room they showed me looked acceptable.
