"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 Blue Reef Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Florence Gardens Hotel & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"This was the second time I’ve stayed at Florence Gardens, and it’s proved to be as exceptional as I found it on my first visit. The rooms are extremely comfortable and warm, the staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly, and I won’t hesitate to stay there again on my next visit to Portsmouth."

Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was lovely and clean, missing a shelf in the bathroom but otherwise in great condition. We found the mattress to be too hard but the room was quiet with a nice view from the window. Breakfast was nice and the dining room wasn't crowded, the only thing missing for us was fried eggs. The hotel is in an excellent location, close to the ships and Gunwharf Quay shops, cheap/free parking was another bonus. We would return to this hotel."

The Queens Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great help from the staff. Lovely old traditional style hotel and luck to get sea view and sunset which was stunning over towards Gosport and the Isle of white"

G Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Was lucky enough to get the penthouse on the top floor and slept really well, ( might have been the low oxygen levels at that altitude) fantastic shower and cheerful staff. Breakfast looked good but didn’t participate. Very quiet part of town and close to high street. Would stay again without hesitation."

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."

Florence Suite Hotel & Restaurant

8/10 Good

"Staff excellent. Friendly and helpful. Our room needs renovation. Carpet in needs a deep clean. Bathroom needs renovation. Breakfast good."

The Clarence Boutique Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice, clean room with very helpful staff. Choice of pillows and a very comfortable, clean bed. The room was very warm, no Aircon but a fan was provided. The reception and breakfast room are in a different building, on a different road which was fine as the weather was dry. Buffet breakfast was great with good choice. We also ate in the restaurant for dinner which was also excellent. Staff were all extremely good. Would stay here again."
