"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 Portsmouth Historic Dockyard Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Portsmouth by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great"

Ship Leopard Hotel – No Children

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for the dockyard and gun wharf and steps from a great pub. Staff were polite and professional and the room was great. Very clean and had all we needed in it. Would stay again."

ibis Portsmouth Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Room on the small side but clean and comfortable breakfast very good close to guildhall and train station"

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."

Haslar Rooms

8/10 Good

"Really good value for money. Big bathroom and free parking, great for business traveller."

Spring Garden B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly, local business. Can't argue with the price, and rooms were clean. Could've used a fan to deal with the heat, though."

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."

Gunwharf Quays Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about our stay , gorgeous view, only comment would be upgrade on furniture would be great as sofa not very comfy and looking a wee bit tired in places plus en-suite toilet was broken so did not use it but overall very happy and will definitely be back to stay with you in the future. 😁"
