Review
I couldn’t fault the entrance/lobby, it’s quite impressive. The staff were friendly, but not overly welcoming. My room was quite basic, but clean. Bed was a bit springy, & there was the noise of the extraction fan cutting in & out all through the night, as I was above the kitchen. The breakfast & dinner was lovely though, plenty & well cooked, waiting staff were pleasant, & efficient.

Beautiful hotel. The hot and cold water in the shower was a bit up and down in the bed a little hard for my taste. Food was wonderful in the restaurant and the bar area was perfect. The staff and owner of the hotel are wonderful! Cross the street to the water and very close to the Maritime Museum. Very good three night stay

The hotel was comfortable, had plenty of character and was a few minutes walk from Portsmouth Harbour Station. The room was good and had an excellent bathroom. The hotel was good value and close to all the attractions I wanted to visit.
