"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 Square Tower Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

8/10 Good

"Very friendly staff and good value breakfast"

Ship Leopard Hotel – No Children

8/10 Good

"Really good for our visit to Portsmouth Dockyard in its centralised location. We drove from Surrey but coming by train would have been even easier! Would have liked a box of tissues, and was slightly chilly as the heating wasn't on. Maybe my fault for not understanding the workings of the radiator. Good breakfast, and cheerful staff throughout. Thank you."

Becketts Southsea

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely B&B. Great location for attractions of Portsmouth and Southsea. Wonderful staff, comfortable rooms. Excellent."

ibis Portsmouth Centre

8/10 Good

"Our room was clean and comfortable. Lovely soft bed and a good shower. The only grumble was our door wouldn't shut properly, so you had to pull it extra hard and check it was locked properly. Apart from that that, it was great."

The Lady Hamilton B&B

10/10 Excellent

"For those planning to visit the dockyard, you can't get any better. We had a great view of HMS Warrior from our window. The hotel is directly across the street from the rail station and the bus station and about 100 yards from the main entrance to the dockyard. The owner was very nice and accommodating. The room was very modern and well kept."

Keppel's Head Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really good business stay. Evening staff member was extremely friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again if in the area. Thanks"

Gunwharf Quays Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about our stay , gorgeous view, only comment would be upgrade on furniture would be great as sofa not very comfy and looking a wee bit tired in places plus en-suite toilet was broken so did not use it but overall very happy and will definitely be back to stay with you in the future. 😁"

"For the price we got good value for our money"

Skyline Oasis panoramic sea view, balcony & parking Southsea

8/10 Good

"It was perfect for our needs. The view is fabulous. The location is great. The flat was clean, comfy, rooms were a good size, kitchen worked well. The loo is on the small side but perfectly functional. They are clear it's on the top floor but I don't think the listing noted that it's 3 sets of windy stairs to get up to. It was fine for us but with small kids or elderly folks it would be a challenge."
