"This was one of the best Inn's I've stayed at. The staff went above and beyond to be welcoming and friendly. The room was perfect, clean, bright and exactly as in the photos. The common areas were so inviting, there was outdoor garden spaces, indoor spaces with comfy seating for curling up with a book. The breakfast was amazing with many choices. I would highly recommend and I'm already try to plan another trip there."

Top Portsmouth Historic Dockyard Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

8/10 Good

"Stayed 5 nights , like the area and Old Town Portsmouth. The Hotel is in a excellent position in middle of Shopping outlet so close to bars and restaurants. The rooms are reasonable size ,the beds could be upgraded or a decent topper for the top of mattress also pillows were a bit lumpy. A reasonable breakfast was provided a full English type or cereals, toast jam and croissants also available."

Ship Leopard Hotel – No Children

10/10 Excellent

"We only had a short stay at the Ship Leopard hotel being a transit from train to the morning ferry. The hotel is perfectly located immediately across the street from the train station, but offered so much more. Surrounded by great restaurants, historic sites, and shopping, it turned out to be the perfect location for our visit to Portsmouth Harbor. The hotel itself is very comfortable with a friendly staff and good amenities. The room was comfortable and made for a nice stay."

"Room was good apart from the great south view from the 5 large windows has warmed to room to near sauna temp. Just a fan to stir the air with windows wide. No air conditioner.
