Top Portsmouth Hotel Reviews

Best Western Fireside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The two restaurants on site were both well-staffed and the menu at the pub was quite reasonable. The eggs ar breakfast were quite good - I don't think they'd been watered down at all, although the saisages were not to my liking and they were there two days straight. The room was perfectly fine, the TV worked, the HVAC was strong. I normally stay close to the 401 when I'm in Kingston, but this was a very pleasant change and it might become the new regular."

Holiday Inn Kingston Waterfront by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We last stayed here during Covid and had such an awful experience that we left part way through our booking and vowed never to stay here again…roll on now and WOW, what a difference! The hotel is clean and tidy, the staff are amazingly helpful, checking in was a breeze & the hotel bar is a lovely spot to have a few drinks and the desserts are delicious! The room was very clean and spacious - we will be staying here when we are next back in Kingston!"

Beautiful house right by Portsmouth Olympic Harbour.

10/10 Excellent
