Olive Tree Apartment - New Addition to Spring Garden Guest House - Review of Spring Garden Guest House, Gosport, England

I regularly come down to Gosport to visit my family and usually I am put up in one of their spare bedrooms, but this time as it was such short notice, I needed to sort out my own accommodation.

Firstly, I would normally have gone to somewhere like Premier Inn (but they were in excess of £100 for one night!) so I went on booking.com and I found this little guesthouse for £45.

On arrival, yes you do notice that the guesthouse is pink and stands out a little from the rest of the buildings. Other guests have commented there's a reason behind this, I didn't think to ask.

When paying the guesthouse bill, I had booked through booking.com for the £45 but I was quoted the amount to pay was £49.50. I'm not completely tight, but if I've been reserved at £45, then £45 is all I'm paying.
It was explained to me that booking.com charge a lot of commission, but I had booked it through them and not directly through the guesthouse.

However Heather, the host, is absolutely wonderful. She is really attentive and kind.

My room, a single with a shower, was rather dated. The bed, I found wasn't rather comfortable but that's my own opinion.
The bathroom was sufficient but not really up to much standard. They had carpet in the bathroom, which I absolutely hate.
I didn't have the best night sleep as I could hear other guests in their room flushing the toilet, shutting their doors (excessively loud), and I kept hearing this weird loud noise throughout the night that woke me up.

The breakfast was lovely. You get a good choice of continental as well as cooked. I chose the omelette and it was really lovely. Nice fresh orange juice, good range of cereal, bit of fresh fruit.

Overall, it was a pleasant enough stay. I would recommend a bit of refurbishment but the hosts are fantastic and they really make you feel welcome.
