Glad that they had parking for guests in a gate (though a bit of a tight squeeze) and the room on the first floor was very nice for our one night stay. The location was only two blocks from the shore for a nice walk and near several attractions.

It has such a special feel to it where you feel at home as soon as you meet the staff. If you had special needs, no problem. I loved the bar room which was so comfortable and again we felt like a part of the group. The garden area was special, a quiet place to have drinks and enjoy the scenery.

An important harbour for centuries, Portsmouth counts with one of the busiest ferry piers in the United Kingdom, has the oldest dry dock still in use in the world. Its Historic Dockyard is home to famous British ships like Lord Nelson's flagship HMS Victory, the Mary Rose and the HMS Warrior.
In the picturesque Old Town you’ll find typical English pubs, coloured houses, and small independent shops. It also has a Fish Market provided by the city’s small fishing fleet. In Old Portsmouth is possible to find smaller hotels, B&B’s and guest houses, some of them not far from the ferry harbour.
The Gunwharf Quays are a modernly renovated shopping area, home to the Spinnaker Tower, while the centre has an ever-growing number of shops. Don’t miss Commercial Road and the Cascades Shopping Centre. Hotels in Portsmouth’s city centre allow you to be close to everything what the city has to offer.
For relaxing moments, Portsdown Hill allows panoramic views over the city and the Isle of Wight. During summer, its sandy beaches are a must.

Had a great few days in Portsmouth. Stayed in hotel next to Historical Dockyard and spent two full on days exploring it. We bought an Ultimate Explorer ticket, valid for 1 year and we will definitely be back. Such good value for money for what you get. Explored, Nelson’s Victory boat, The Mary Rose and The Warrior to name but 3!
We also went up the Spinnaker Tower for afternoon tea and fantastic views.
There was the added bonus of Gun Wharf Quays- Designer outlet shops for a little shopping and great restaurants.
Couldn’t fault anything.

Having spent most of my naval career have seen a lot of changes in Portsmouth some good some not so good. I strongly recommend visiting the Royal Dockyard and the Ship Anson pub afterwards ( a great pub with a good selection of beers & food)

We only stayed in the dock land area so did not see anything else of Portsmouth, but could have spent much more time here anyway! The historic dockyard with Warrior, Victory, Mary Rose and so much more is a simply superb experience. The Gunwharf Quays is now a shopping and restaurant haven. We ate at the Cozy Club which had excellent food and views across the harbor. We also walked around to the historic Round Tower/Square Tower area which has been restored. The very, very best place to go is the Still and West pub & restaurant on the point there. Amazing food, atmosphere, and ships constantly passing the windows. I would live in this pub! Everything we went to was walking distance, and the train and bus station was opposite our hotel should we have wanted to travel further afield.

My reason for going to Portsmouth was then Dockyard and Naval Museums, easily taking all of my few days exploring. HMS Warrior, HMS Victory, the Submarine visit, the many museums, the bay trip, the only downside was the long lines of people for all these magnificent examples of Britain's former naval power and the opportunity to clamber aboard and around. The whole dockyard area just reeks of history packed into every square foot both on-shore and in the bay.
A fabulous local bus network, superb shopping and many other museums. Along with it's share of pubs and restaurants for all pockets it was difficult to fit as much in as I did in just four days.
The only thing that I would want to avoid the next time is the rain.
The long line of to enter the docks, 45 minutes or an hour or more without any cover does mean you can get washed out if you haven't wrapped up warm and dry.

This city, historical home of Britain's Naval Base houses treasures you can't see anywhere else. HMS Victory, the ship Admiral Nelson died in battle is a sight to behold. Excellent audio helps with the tour. The HMS Mary Rose, the 14th century ship on display in an interpretive centre is fascinating. HMS Warrior, the biggest iron hulled warship in the world and other ships available for touring. Boat tours of the harbour or a ferry via the famous hovercraft to Isle of Wight. The D-Day Interpretive Centre and the last remaining craft that landed on the beaches of Normandy there to walk through. A coastal walk that is breathtaking. So, so much to discover and enjoy. We have to go back.

I was only in Portsmouth as I using the Brittany Ferries .
I was only in Portsmouth as I using the Brittany Ferries . Over the last 35 years my son had lived here at some time so I know all the attractions. I did not visit any on this holiday trip.
However the City is well worth a visit to see the Navel History
Great little hotel right next to Portsmouth Harbour: convenient for rail, Isle of Wight ferry, Gunwharf Quays, and the historic Dockyard.
Good standard of cleanliness throughout, food was good quality and quantity at reasonable price, and the staff were excellent. Knows the market it is catering for and obviously very much a "Navy" establishment.
Travelling for business - even allowed me to park all day following check-out, which they didn't have to but was greatly appreciated. Will be booking to stay again.
The location couldn’t have been better as my brother was leaving on a year-round, round-the-world yacht race from there on Sept 3. The boats were there at the end of the wharf just about 1/4 mile away. And the hotel is at the end of a high scale mall with LOTS of restaurants, pubs, cafes.
Linsey at the front desk was amazing and super helpful, as was her young male night shift co-worker (Phil?). LOVED having the bar and food till 2:00 a.m. for those of us who are insomniacs!
Perfect location overlooking Portsmouth harbour and the HMS warrior
Rooms were beautiful loved the arched windows on our room
Staff were friendly especially the waitress at breakfast
Reception manned 24hrs
3 minutes walk to gunwharf quays shopping centre, 1 min walk to Portsmouth harbour train station
Perfect location for our one night stay in Portsmouth. We walked home quickly after a day of shopping at Gunwharf quays and then took the catamaran to isle of wight the next day from Portsmouth Harbour. The apartment was large and comfy. We used the kitchen for dinner.
Location of hotel which was away from Portsmouth City Centre but at the same time well placed for that, Gunwharf Quays and of course Southsea seafront including the Common. Also close to harbour and ferry links which we used. Great to watch the boats.
The hotel was in a convenient location. It was close enough to walk to the beach, shopping centre or the outlet. Breakfast was self serve which was good and the food remained hot. Staff were lovely. There were lifts also available.
Very nice location, within a short walk to the University of Portsmouth and many local attractions. I highly appreciated an early check-in, arriving after a sleepless overnight flight from the US. Good price. Clean and neat place.
Very clean hotel with very friendly, helpful staff. The rooms were spotless and the breakfast were superb.Situated right by the Spinnaker tower and Gunwharf keys make this hotel ideal to explore all that Portsmouth has to offer.
Good location, easy to get to and plenty of disabled parking. Room was spacious and comfortable with walk-in shower. All staff were excellent. We stayed in three Marriott hotels on this trip and Portsmouth was by far the best.
The staff were extremely helpful in every aspect, especially TINA who was super efficient and always ready to answer any questions.
The location of the hotel is superb. Close to both the city centre and to the harbour.
Location of hotel excellent for the Outlet Shops, Restaurants and Historic Dockyard. Also not too far from Portsmouth Harbour Station and close to bus station.
Plenty of choice at breakfast.
Room small but adequate.
Comfortable bed and design typical of Ibis hotels which represent good value for money. Reasonably priced on site car parking for city centre location with bar and restaurant facilities.
The location is perfect if you want to be near the Portsmouth naval museum. Don't expect this to be like staying in a modern concrete block hotel. This is an old beautiful hotel.
Great location in old Portsmouth. Terrific staff who shared the incredible history of the inn and were very helpful in all respects. Breakfast included was very nice.
