"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

"Just to note parking is free on the local roads between 6pm and 8am My room was clean but there were small areas in the room which could have done with some maintenance Would have seen nice to have a fridge in the room as well as shower caps in the bathroom"

Southsea Rocks Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Delightful, sparkling clean, peaceful and friendly, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and have made a mental note to come again when I’m in the area."

Ship Leopard Hotel – No Children

10/10 Excellent

"We were so lucky this hotel had a free room on the evening when our overnight ferry was cancelled with only a few hours notice. I had travelled seven hours by train and there hadn’t been a buffet cart on it so by the time I arrived I was thirsty and hungry.The very kind gentleman at reception gave me the bedroom keys , fresh milk for my cuppa tea and some breakfast cereal! The room was great with a fan and very comfy bed. We didn’t have the breakfast as we had to leave at 6 am to catch the new ferry. The free car park was great and secured Portsmouth is a pretty expensive place to stay but we felt we had good value as we do appreciate kindness, clean rooms and a comfy bed! We will be back another time to see the Mary Rose Museum and HMS Victory…. Portsmouth is a great place to learn more about naval history, great shops and Brasserie Blanc for supper was formidable!( a great start to our French holiday)"

ibis budget Portsmouth

10/10 Excellent

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

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."

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.."

Character Victorian Townhouse - Conservation Area

10/10 Excellent

"Easy walking location to seafront, gunwharf and city centre station.House as described in pictures"

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."
