..., different types of bread, different types of cereal, bagels. Toasters are available. Obviously some juices, milk and hot beverages are included. There is also a selection of jams/jellies and honey. All this for a very fair price. We really enjoyed it. We also appreciated the confortable chairs and the privacy. It is a really pleasant and clean hotel restaurant. The hotel is located in the centre of Portsmouth. It is at walking distance from the University facilities, a pub street, and a large shopping area.
