"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 Charles Dickens Birthplace Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place for a bit shopping before catching a ferry. Clean, tidy, friendly staff and good food."

Ship Leopard Hotel – No Children

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, really close to Gunwharf Quays and Historic Dockyard and right across the road from railway station. We had a room on 3rd floor and it was very spacious and comfortable. Beautiful bathroom with lovely shower. Very good breakfast. Really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again."

Holiday Inn Portsmouth by IHG

8/10 Good

"Ok for a work trip but parking on site was an issue"

ibis Portsmouth Centre

8/10 Good

"Good hotel that was nice and clean. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Room was quite small and expensive for what it was."

Keppel's Head Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was decent, the bar was good and so was the breakfast … however the latte machine was broken. We dined there one evening and my husband commented that the duck was very good. The wifi was good. Good location to the train station, pubs and the Navy Museum, HMS Victory and HMS Warrior."

Village Hotel Portsmouth

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place"

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."
