"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 St. John's Cathedral Hotel Reviews

ibis Portsmouth Centre

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is close to everything; the rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was amazing we had a taxi issue and they went above and beyond to assist us. We would stay here again when we go back to Portsmouth."

ibis budget Portsmouth

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and well positioned. Ideal for anyone going to the football or just visiting the city!"

Holiday Inn Portsmouth by IHG

8/10 Good

"Rooms a little tired, great location. Bar was great as was the check in and out team. One big downside was breakfast. Quality is very low no fresh mushrooms or tomatoes, eggs not great and the veggie option sausages were frozen when delivered though the veggie bacon was good."

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"

Keppel's Head Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room located close to port for cruise"

Premier Inn Portsmouth Dockyard
