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."

Ship Leopard Hotel – No Children

10/10 Excellent

"Location at train and ferry to isle of wight ferry was phenomenal. Very helpful staff and excellent breakfast. Access to gunwharf quay restaurants as well as easy walk to Portsmouth harbor museums was really important for our short visit as senior travelers."

ibis budget Portsmouth

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff at reception and given a cycle friendly room on the ground floor."

Holiday Inn Portsmouth by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"A Lovely Stay in the Heart of Town ❤️ From the moment we arrived, the reception staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Every receptionist spoke really good English, which made everything so easy, and they always greeted us with a lovely smile. 😊 The hotel is in the heart of the town, which is very convenient for exploring and getting around. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the bed was very comfortable, so we had a good night’s sleep. The breakfast was okay and had enough choices to start the day. Overall, we had a lovely stay and really appreciated the warm and friendly service from all the reception staff. I would happily stay here again. 😊"

Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for one night prior to getting the ferry to the Isle of Wight . Great that we had free 24 hour parking and breakfast included."

Becketts Southsea

8/10 Good

"Lovely place to stay , comfy room at rear of hotel on ground floor, had a skylight window and electric blind , Staff were lovely, especially Damian and Denny, who were very friendly,and made breakfast and cocktails. Shame the bar wasn’t open after 9pm , we would have used it to relax before turning in for the night. Easy to get to Southsea seafront and walkable to Gunwharf Quay. Enjoyed our short stay. Thank you ."

Keppel's Head Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel. Very clean. Very attentive staff. Lovely fried breakfast cooked to order. Well situated on The Hard opposite the railway and bus station.."

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."
