Top Portsmouth Athenaeum Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Portsmouth Downtown

8/10 Good

"Centrally located to all the sites of downtown Portsmouth. Very comfortable, generously sized room Check in was easy, breakfast was standard. Surprised by price of valet only parking, we paid less in downtown Boston."

The Sailmaker's House

10/10 Excellent

"We had been given a code to enter a room but turned out the information given was incorrect and were allocated a totally separate room. After that initial problem which was sorted out fairly quickly we found the room allocated nice and spacious with a shower and toilet. Only stayed for one night but the room was nice and clean. The building was quiet however there was a little road noise. Didn’t see any staff. There were some small snacks and coffee free in the hallway which was good. Location was good with just a short walk to the main shopping and restaurant areas. Would stay there again"

The Davenport Inn

8/10 Good

"Room was spotless, staff pleasant, parking good. Internet👎"

The Bow Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This property was a great location. The room was very nice. The amenities were great. I am just someone that likes to have someone present so the whole digital thing and phone call thing was a little difficult and I wasn’t happy about having to pay $35 for parking."

Anchorage Inn & Suites - Portsmouth

8/10 Good

"Very convenient location to downtown. There was a lot of construction happening at the site so the parking lot and surroundings were not as nice as they could have been however they are making improvements so it is understandable. The price was reasonable and the accommodations were more than adequate. Also a good diner walking distance across the street."
