Travelrest Solent Gateway - Fareham, United Kingdom     

Very friendly staff. Lovely, comfortable room. Very quiet at night. Good food. The staff were excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Also known as the Avenue House Hotel, my wife and were a little concerned about this hotel having read the Trip Advisor reports (this was a short notice booking and there were few alternatives in the Fareham area, it was only for one night, so we took a chance). I am please to report that our worries were unfounded, we found this hotel very pleasant and reasonable value for money (£70.50 double room B&B). Whilst facilities are limited (e.g. no restaurant for lunch or dinner and no bar), the property is only 10 minutes walk from Fareham town centre which has a wide range of shops, pubs, bars, restaurants and cinema. The train station is just 5 minutes walk away. Rooms come with usual facilities such as tea making, and TV (with Freeview channels), as well as modem points and free Wi-Fi access (although we didn’t use these). As mentioned above, there is no restaurant, but a good range of TV dinners can be ordered in at reasonable prices (this is an excellent facility which I have never come across before). Bathroom was small, but adequate. There is ample easy parking and the hotel has a small but pleasant garden. Staff were polite and helpful, although at breakfast, the single waiter seemed overwhelmed even though it didn’t seem that busy. Breakfast itself was cooked well, but was not that generous in terms of quantity. A good hotel for a short stop over, we would be very happy to use it again.
