"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 Charles Dickens Birthplace Hotel Reviews

ibis Portsmouth Centre

8/10 Good

"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."

Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

8/10 Good

"Good basic hotel near all the action and very close to one of the train stations (Harbour Port). Noisy during the day because hotel is beside a public square with crowds and live and recorded music. This didn't bother us. Entrance is in a strange place which was hard to find as we walked from the train station. Great shopping next door, lots of restaurants and tourist activities. No gym."

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."

Keppel's Head Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really good business stay. Evening staff member was extremely friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again if in the area. Thanks"
