"Excellent location right in the city centre. I traveled solo for business and a bit of sight-seeing. Close to shopping/restaurants (Gunwharf Quay) and historical attractions. You get what you pay for - it's in an old building with poor ventilation. A few 'old building' smells and humidity lingers in the bathroom. Bed was comfortable, all linens and towels clean and fresh. All staff were extremely pleasant easy to interact with. Nice breakfast at Keppel's Head was included."

Holiday Inn Portsmouth by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff very helpful as ever, but fewer of them. Air conditioning still not working. Otherwise, all fine"

Ship Leopard Hotel – No Children

8/10 Good

"Perfect location on the waterfront and for shopping at Gunwharf. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Free parking is round the back and a real bonus. TV in our room wasn’t a smart TV and drinking water in the room would have been nice. Other than that would definitely recommend."

Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

8/10 Good

"Well situated for the continental ports, for the price I feel a bit expensive. We had received an email stating no air-con then were told it was working. On arrival at reception the bar area was noisy and felt messy and at breakfast it was fairly chaotic and the three members of staff seemed more interested in gossiping."

Royal Maritime Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"The property was in an excellent location for our visit to the Historical Dockyard as well as places to eat, the bus and train station. The property was clean, quiet and the staff were very helpful. The breakfast had a good variety of hot and cold food."

"What i dont like the most is the parking space for the hotel... they dont have there own parking"

The Lady Hamilton B&B

10/10 Excellent

"While born and bred in Pompey for 19 years, I returned to my hometown as a tourist to show a friend around. Therefore, I knew of the Lady Hamilton's excellent location and I was pleasantly surprised that the "partial sea view" from the window was an excellent full view of HMS Warrior-stunning at sunrise. No noise disturbance from the pub or street and stairway means not having to go through pub; didn't drink in pub, as they had run out of London Pride real ale, but a proper local pub if you want the authentic Portsea. The Lady Hamilton is a stones throw from the dockyard (maritime museum) and the range of restuarants at Gunwharf; recommend Giggly Squid and Tap and Tandoori - has lovely vegan options .Also, a delighful 15 minute walk to Old Portsmouth-Spinaker cafe good place for breakfast and opens early. I would definitely stay here again and recommend; very comfortable bed, clean, great shower, location and view! Only thing that would have been a good thing to have in the room is a peg in bathroom for towels, though did have radiator to hang on. Although HMS Victory covered over for renovation, still a fascinating visit and The Mary Rose musuem is out of this world and a must see."

Gunwharf Quays Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about our stay , gorgeous view, only comment would be upgrade on furniture would be great as sofa not very comfy and looking a wee bit tired in places plus en-suite toilet was broken so did not use it but overall very happy and will definitely be back to stay with you in the future. 😁"
