"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 University of Portsmouth Hotel Reviews

ibis Portsmouth Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Every time me and my partner we come to ur hotel for a night so peaceful wonderful stuff"

The Lady Hamilton B&B

8/10 Good

"It was fine, clean and comfortable room. The location was top-notch. Seeing the HMS Warrior from the window was gorgeous and nice to wake up to. The breakfast was very good. There was some music heard from the nearby club, but it wasn’t oppressive. We would stay there again."

Ship Leopard Hotel – No Children

10/10 Excellent

"A very well kept hotel with lovely rooms and good breakfast. All the facilities you need for your stay is available. Remember this hotel is situated perfectly for the Royal Naval Docks and the shopping and restraunts that are there. But it also comes with the railway station and bus station so don't expect a peaceful weekend. Last bus and train seems to be 1a.m. Others wise perfect for a great weekend for shopping, eating and seeing the Mary Rose. Well worth the price."
