"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."

Top Portsmouth Historic Dockyard Hotel Reviews

The Queens Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room is clean and nice. Staff is polite. Breakfast is very good. Location is good. Our room has nice sea view. We need to push open two or three heavy fire doors on our way from the elevator to our room. It was not easy to pull several pieces of luggage through these doors."

The Lady Hamilton B&B

8/10 Good

"The room was very basic but fine. Getting to the room was a little strange as you need to go through the pub or around back. The staff was fine and the property was right across the street from the train station"
