About Blue Star House

A shared terrace and communal kitchen set the tone at Blue Star House, a straightforward guesthouse on Elphinstone Road in Portsmouth. This is no-frills accommodation aimed at guests who want a comfortable base rather than a fussy stay, with a lounge area to relax in alongside the outdoor space.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, drinks provided, and free WiFi throughout. Reception operates around the clock, and there's a laundry service for anyone staying longer or travelling light. The communal kitchen and terrace give the place a more sociable, self-catering feel than a typical hotel.

The location suits those keen to explore Portsmouth's harbour and dockyard area, with pubs, bars and restaurants within easy reach. Walking and cycling routes are close by, and golf, fishing and watersports are all available nearby for a more active day out.

Adequate accommodation. Hosts seem lovely and property was clean and well managed. Unfortunately WiFi does not reach the top floor well. A few hooks on the walls or doors would have been useful, or some hanging space for clothing, I must say, but I was happy with the value and location and would consider Blue Star Guest House again 👍

Lovely independent hotel. Guests were left alone. Bed very comfortable . Immaculately clean wet room and bedroom with blackout curtains. The kitchen was always very clean and what a fantastic idea having washing machines there . Will definitely be staying here again. Excellent value for money and not too far away from the shops and sea and I would recommend the brewers fayre for breakfast .

Great stay here. Rooms clean, warm and comfortable. It does get very hot at night so I recommend turning your radiator off before bed. Shower was a nice temperature though a bit fiddly and pressure could be better. Facilities provided were great, over and above expectations. Could happily have stayed longer. There was free tea and coffee with a great coffee machine and pods provided. Free breakfast cereal, and all your shower toiletries provided including conditioner as well as use of a large screen TV and comfy sofas with I player and Netflix etc installed for use with your own account. Kitchen and cooking facilities were fab too.

Comfortable and well furnished place to stay in if you are looking for a place in the Southsea area. We walked from Portsmouth to this place enjoying the various historical and scenic spots dotting the coast. The house is easily accessible and just off the high street lined with shops, restaurants and pubs. Entry to the house and the rooms is via code which is good as we didn't have to carry a key with us. Our room was very clean and we loved it. The communal kitchen is well stocked with the basics - milk, breakfast cereals, coffee, biscuits and bakery items with dedicated shelf space allocated to keep food for your personal consumption. There are a couple of fridge freezers, ovens, hobs and washing machines - all maintained and looking new. We had received an SMS with all required details from the host and a contact number as well. Upon entry into the house, the list of people with their room numbers is displayed on a board. There is a common lounge area with TV and touristy brochures and public transport details available. Only negative was that a mosquito entered our room through the slightly open window and kept singing in my ear throughout the night.
