The Queens is a Portsmouth institution in and of itself, but after staying here, my husband (who grew up in Portsmouth) and I have found that it's also amazing! The bar, the restaurant and the hotel itself is both super cozy and top tier

A lovely stay at the Queens Hotel. Room, staff and food were first class
Really great location, building and facilities in a beautiful spot. We were taking a cruise the next day and stayed at this hotel because of the location to the coast. We had ocean views from our room. The hotel itself is very well preserved and very charming. The bar and restaurant were first class as well. Would definitely stay again.
Room was clean and very well equipped. but very small for the price. Staff were friendly. Breakfast good but very expensive. Dinner (we attended a pre planned event dinner) was average.
Staff were very helpful, nice room, beautiful sea view.

Staff are always very friendly and it is ideally situated with a great view of the sea. Shops are nearby as well as close location to sites. Every time I come down to the area I stay here due to suitability for my needs and also parking availability
Very friendly staff, beautiful building and common areas. Our room was quite basic, but nicely decorated and good value. It was ideal for our stay - which was to run the Great South Run. Perfectly located opposite the start/finish, with parking included and a great spot to meet friends and crash out with a drink post run.

A lovely stay at a really impressive hotel. The hotel is stunning, it’s right on the seafront with free parking. The grandeur of this building is impossible to ignore. Our room had a sea view, it was quite small but perfect for one night. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. We would definitely book here again. Thank you 😊
The Queens was a beautiful, well kept hotel with a lovely garden. Very clean and in a safe area with shops and restaurants nearby within walking distance. ! I plan on staying in the future.
Hotel was nice, staff very friendly and rooms in a nice clean condition. It wasn't noisy at all, which I did worry about as the night I was there a wedding was taking place, but I was pleasantly surprised that there was no noise at all.
