The sushi menu, decor, staff, breakfast - very quick to arrive. I found the stairs difficult being disabled there are stairs and some without handrails or only on one side. Otherwise a near perfect score, well done and great value for money as well too.

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.

The coastal area is nice to walk along. The Mary Rose & Victory Museum are very good.
Portsmouth city centre is dull, lacking greenery or planters, many shops are empty. It is not an attractive city centre!
There is a statue of Charles Dickens in the Guildsquare otherwise the area is grim.

Only stayed for a day but that was plenty of time for the main attractions in the dock area.
Mary rose museum is a must see.
Lots of families around who seemed to be enjoying the dock area and the shopping mall.

I'm a budget traveller so I don't need luxurious accommodation..around £50-60 per night is OK...if you're wanting to go into the city lots of buses available....you can change in the city for a bus to gunwharf....I did mention a kettle and tea/ coffee making facilities would be nice....if you want a big breakfast tesco is 2 minutes walk.....I would recommend this hotel for price and convenience

The attraction was the harbour.
The attraction was the harbour. The ticket was expensive but well worth it. The Mary Rose Museum was phenomenally good - exciting, imaginitive and caught the attention of grandparents, parents and children alike. The Victory was almost equally good and the guides there were exceptional. We also visited the Warrior where the guide took over explaining to the children, told us an immense amount but also had us all in fits of laughter. Strongly recommended for all ages
We also very much enjoyed Portchester castle and the exhibition on the prison there (and the cafe in the church.

I come to Portsmouth regularly, a very clean city and friendly people, full of history especially naval, lots to do and see, lovely pubs and restaurants, Southsea is a must, good bus service plenty of good hotels, I'd recommend the Spice Island in old Portsmouth and the Ship Anson in The Hard Old Portsmouth is worth visiting
Was so pleasantly surprised by this hotel. All of the staff were absolutely lovely and very helpful. The room was very nice, the bathroom super clean (with great shower pressure, a spacious tub, and VERY good hand soap). The bed was extremely comfy — unusual for all of the pillows to be as comfortable as this hotel. The decor of the entire place was very fun, properly themed. I had a good look at all the model boats. The breakfast was pretty standard, very edible. Spectacular location for Portsmouth Harbour attractions & Gunwharf Quays.
Front staff was very accommodating, as we arrived late due to cancelled flight. They also received and held our covid testing kit until our arrival. The room is very nice, comfortable and clean. Love the heated towel bar and coffee in the room. The hotel is nice. We had fish n chips and bangers and mash in the pub. Food was great. Bar tender and servers were all friendly and provided great service. We highly recommend this place to stay when coming to Portsmouth. We came here to take a cruise from the port.
Great central location, 5 minute walk from train station, 15 minutes to Gunwharf Quays and 20 minutes to Southsea beach. Restaurants and bars nearby. We had a lovely quiet room at the back of the hotel. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff helpful and friendly. Attractive communal area on ground floor which was nice to sit in. Food was good. If we're back in Portsmouth then this will be our choice of place to stay.
The location was great, especially for the esplanade and beach. There was parking outside the property, and a bus stop directly outside the hotel that I used to get into Portsmouth city centre and back. The hotel and room were clean and the decour was lovely. The staff were super friendly and helpful. There was plenty of choice for breakfast, and it was delicious.
We were very pleased with the hotel fantastic staff very helpful on check in and out and provided all the information we needed as well as help with the paying of the car park. Room was big bed very comfortable and shower modern and powerful. Easy parkinf available big car park. Would stay here again. Breakfast included high was a bonus.
Fantastic location to explore Portsmouth.
It’s right in the heart of Gunwharf Quays with all of its shops, bars and restaurants. Parking is below the shopping centre - the hotel will validate your ticket for a free first 24hrs then £2 a day there after. Very helpful friendly staff.
The room was actually in the carriage house behind the main street/hotel. In addition to our bed, there was and extra twin bed in the room and plenty of space for our suitcases. It was walking distance to the Hovercraft and many restaurants and historic/interesting sights.
Pretty central and close to Portsmouth Harbour train station. Close to entertainment area Gun Wharf and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, all within a few minutes walk. A small hotel above a pub, with good pub food. Room rate was reasonable for this time of year.
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.
Location could not have been better - right across the road from Portsmouth Harbour railway station. View from my window was HMS Warrior. Nice big bathroom and shower. Great included breakfast at the neighbouring Keppels Head hotel.
Wonderful property, especially for the price. Cheaper and closer to centre of Southsea than a hotel and more than you could want. Super clean, provided tea and coffee and shower gel, up there with one of the best places I’ve stayed
very good hotel, good location, the price including breakfast is very good. The food is also good, the staff is very friendly, parking is free. I don't think we need more. Everything is excellent
The Hotel is close to the Hovercraft station, Gunwharf Quays & Portsmouth Town centre. We didn't move the car for 4 days as walked or used public transport.
