The view of the roundabout the hotel was named after was indeed spectacular. There is no doubt it would take any roundaboutist's breath away. The hotel definitely has a soul. With its classic Shakespearean black and white structure it almost made me feel like I was a knight travelling through on important business and not just a poor lad attending a leaving do and about to experience the second stage of regret after being peer pressured into eating a lamb fal in an Indian restaurant.While I cannot comment on the comfort of the bed as I slept outside my room on the carpet after loosing my key card; I can confidently say that the softness of the carpet was excellent with just enough heat to keep a roaming knight happy and cosy.The fact that I was able to have a good night sleep on the corridor (thinking that I lost the key card) without being harassed gave me such an immense sense of freedom an American person could only achieve by owning a couple of semi-automatic rifles. Jokes apart, I'd definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to everyone who doesn't think that having a fountain at the reception is essential. By the way I found my key card on the floor just as I was about to go to the reception to get a new one in the morning. This strange twist of fate rendered my act of having to go to the roundabout for a stealthy midnight poo slightly less adventurous/knightly and a tad more moronic.

We had a terrific stay as a group of friends with a small dog. The roundabout is very dog friendly. There were always happy to cook a sausage for my dog. The roundabout is very well kept and our room was one of the cleanest hotel rooms I have ever stayed in. We weee visiting Portsmouth and the Roundabout was a good location and value for money compared to staying in Portsmouth itself. The breakfast was very nice and the staff were very friendly and could not do enough for us. There were plenty of places to walk the dog and the area is very nice. Parking wasn’t a problem. I would definitely stay again.

The rooms as the front get noise from the road as they face the roundabout. That is to be expected given its location.

It's a friendly hotel where we've chosen to stay each time we visit relatives in Fareham. It's very comfortable and the staff are always keen to help. There's adequate parking on site in the evening. The food is very good and breakfast inclusive in the price. The food is always brought out on time.

The bathroom needs some attention to bring it up to the standard we've had on past stays. The taps are completely disconnected from the wash basin and the toilet seat is way too small and moves. The shower is unsafe because the water cannot easily be adjusted so you either freeze or get burned, unfortunately that meant that I didn't use it after my husband had difficulty with it. There is no grout between many of the floor tiles which is not hygienic.

We had our engagement party at the roundabout hotel and firstly, the space was perfect for it. Everyone had an amazing time, drinks were really reasonably priced and the staff were just fantastic! Laz, Lily and Chloe made the night that much better by being really friendly, kind, attentive and going above and beyond, helping with our decorations and setting up. The room we stayed in was perfect. Simple and very clean. The hotel itself is lovely, full of history and has a real old English vibe which my partner and I loved. 100% would recommend this space for a party.

We had a family room which was a surprise but no problem. The linen was fresh and the room very clean and bright with good lights. We had to be aware of low, sloping ceilings (room was in the roof) but this was no problem. The breakfasts were goood, continental or cooked available. The hotel had a lovely fresh, clean smell and we had free parking on the premises.

A chair would have been handy in the bedroom as the mirror was very low. The milk pots made the hot drinks taste rather unpleasant so we didn't use the tea and coffee facilities in the room. There were no hooks in the bathroom for towels/gowns. Fruit and yogurt would improve the breakfast selection, especially if a continental breakfast is preferred.

This old quirky hotel offers practically everything you would want and need for a stop over. We were welcomed by a nice lady who gave us our keys and showed us to our rooms. Basic but clean and tidy. The beds were comfy and snug as the heating is on also it was really nice and warm. The breakfast is great! Good amount of food on the full English breakfast, pleasantly surprised that they had a vegetarian breakfast too, brilliant, can't complain at all. Tea and coffee refilled. The lady on shift "Laz" was super, she had a lovely attitude towards the customers and looked after us extremely well. I would definitely come back here.

I didn't come across anything I didn't like.

Booking was easy and there was excellent communication with our request to get rooms together. The 'Roundabout Hotel' is not exactly a 5* venue, but it is very good and you get what you pay for. We had 3 rooms and all were more than acceptable. There is reasonable parking providing guests park properly (it desperately needs lines painted) and is first come first serve. There is limited parking close by. All the staff were extremely friendly and very helpful at all times. The restaurant was more than adequate and with 5 in our party everyone had different meals, the food was truly excellent. They also offer a 'Bar Menu' with a good selection. The Full English breakfast will set you up for the day, don't skip it!

Best described by saying the entire hotel is a little 'tired' and there are several signs of it being a well used establishment, but there was evidence of some rooms being decorated/upgraded. There was a temporary issue with the water supply during our stay, but we wern't affected. We stayed Friday & Saturday nights (party time!) and ALL guests need to be reminded to respect that other guests are also staying and probably trying to sleep! No space indicators in the car park.

I cannot comment on the breakfast as I only chose coffee and toast, the room was as expected. Nice and clean, bed a nice, shower room clean. Fro the hotel being on a roundabout the room I was in I did not hear any traffic which was a pleasant surprise. The staff were friendly and very helpful, with only two people working whilst i was there they did a great job running the bar, the restaurant and changing another customers room around due to water damage caused by heavy rain.

WiFi was unrestricted so not encrypted or password protected, It was very slow when it did work, but other than that there was nothing else I did not like.

The food was excellent, staff went above and beyond, were very friendly, including a resident they have on site. It was ideally situated for where we needed to go. We took a pup with us and the staff and resident were absolutely great with her, even took her for a walk to give my daughter a break. We will return.

The stairs due to mobility issues but they quickly sorted it out, a member of staff even told me what rooms to ask for next time. And didn't like the fact I had to pay twice, due to a problem of the hotel not being able to get the first payment, I was to pay the hotel direct, which resulted in me having 2 payments on my card. The manager offered to refund their payment which I am still waiting for as still showing pending on my credit card.

Generally most things were fine, basically as expected for this price and location.

While our room was fine, the second room we booked for friends was in a different building area and had some kind of mould or sulphar smell. This seemed to originate from the rotting floorboards under the bathroom sink, but the smell spread out into the stairwell. Our friends chose not to ask for another room, I think they would have accommodated if possible, but also a room smelling like that shouldn't be rented out. It may well be a health risk and needs to be resolved.
