"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 Southsea Beach Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

8/10 Good

"Hotel very nicely located with all amenities close to docks and spinnaker. Hotel was busy especially at breakfast but the space between tables were poor even could be considered a fire hazard. Another dining area available but not opened."

ibis Portsmouth Centre

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is close to everything; the rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was amazing we had a taxi issue and they went above and beyond to assist us. We would stay here again when we go back to Portsmouth."

Southsea Rocks Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed one night in a double room with en-suite lovely and clean, close to the seafront and a few shops. Would definitely stay again for a couple of days. Very reasonable price."

Holiday Inn Portsmouth by IHG

8/10 Good

"Rooms a little tired, great location. Bar was great as was the check in and out team. One big downside was breakfast. Quality is very low no fresh mushrooms or tomatoes, eggs not great and the veggie option sausages were frozen when delivered though the veggie bacon was good."

Florence House Hotel & Restaurant

8/10 Good

"Lovely old property with really good breakfast. Location was excellent for victorious festival. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful. A little worn around the edges in the room but was nice and spacious and comfy. Book parking if you can!"

The Queens Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room is clean and nice. Staff is polite. Breakfast is very good. Location is good. Our room has nice sea view. We need to push open two or three heavy fire doors on our way from the elevator to our room. It was not easy to pull several pieces of luggage through these doors."

Esk Vale Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Very quick response to any of questions. Warm welcome and help getting my bag up the stairs as there is no elevator. I had rm 5 just for myself. I had enough space to lay out my bag for the night. There were enough outlets in the room but wish there was one by head of the bed. No ac, but there is a fan that cooled me off lots of on demand hot water in the shower. Quiet street and very easy walk to the beach. Close to streets that have plenty of restaurants."

Q8 Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely Hotel and helpful staff -looks like my room, possible others refurbished - the reception wasn't staffed when I arrived at the beginning of check in, apparently a one off and door locked but this was rectified within a short time. Fabulous location and very convenient"

Florence Suite Hotel & Restaurant

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay. The staff were really welcoming on arrival. The room was spacious clean and comfortable. Our dog was allowed everywhere in the hotel. Would definitely visit again"
