We always stay here when we're in Portsmouth and for good reason: comfortable vibe, amazing staff (especially James!), great restaurant and classy bar. It's close to both water and town, too.
Beautiful historical hotel. We booked a dinner table at the restaurant but it was closed when we arrived. Need improvement for booking system to not arrow before close, or message us.
I stayed just for one night, but really liked it. Comfortable rooms, helpful staff, good location and a great breakfast. Definitely my go to for staying in Portsmouth.
The room was very clean and had all that was needed. The restaurant is nicely decorated and a lovely place to eat, the food was delicious and the service was very good. The Dukes room is a nice relaxing place and we drank a few cocktails in there, the staff are very good and attentive to any needs. The outside area is great, although we did not make use of it it did look like a place you could relax and have a nice drink outside.
Overall the staff at the hotel are very polite, welcoming and helpful. We have stayed at the Queens hotel before and will be sure to stay again.
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.

Friendly staff, The Hotel is clean and welcoming , good evening meals.
A rather old fashioned, maybe even quirky, hotel. It has undergone extensive refurbishment over the past few years. We always stay in a superior sea view room so I can’t comment on the others, although I know the family rooms are good. Good choice of breakfast items. A long list of cocktails at the bar but I haven’t sampled them. Ideal location for events on Southsea Common.
Loved this place. I was visiting from Canada and really appreciated the beauty and architecture of this Hotel.
My room was lovely. The breakfasts were fantastic and the staff were much appreciated for the great service.

A lovely stay at the Queens Hotel. Room, staff and food were first class
Room was good apart from the great south view from the 5 large windows has warmed to room to near sauna temp. Just a fan to stir the air with windows wide. No air conditioner. Lobby nice, indoor bar good, outside bar / resembles a basic pub garden, no interest. Breakfast let down by high price and no real coffee. Come on get a machine for proper coffee.
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
