Jolly Sailor review
I stay in the Jolly Sailor every week for business. The owner and his staff are very hospitable. Rooms are basic but comfortable, staff very friendly and there is free parking after 6.00pm. Situated close to Southsea front where you can take a walk with the fresh sea breeze. It's my home from home.
