"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.

All staff were extremely pleasant easy to interact with. Nice breakfast at Keppel's Head was included."

ibis Portsmouth Centre

"Our room was clean and comfortable. Lovely soft bed and a good shower. The only grumble was our door wouldn't shut properly, so you had to pull it extra hard and check it was locked properly. Apart from that that, it was great."

The Lady Hamilton B&B

10/10 Excellent

"For those planning to visit the dockyard, you can't get any better. We had a great view of HMS Warrior from our window. The hotel is directly across the street from the rail station and the bus station and about 100 yards from the main entrance to the dockyard. The owner was very nice and accommodating. The room was very modern and well kept."
