Excellent location, amazing staff esp the chatty ladies at reception who helped with bags and even upgraded us! Very short walk from the outlet place and port, also around 15m from town and bit more to the pier n beach. Limited parking is the only thing but we got on right outside luckily! Will come again!

Very good place to stay if you're spending time at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. Its seafaring connections are clear as soon as you go in. There's some parking on site and the breakfast is averagely good for this sort of hotel. Congratulations to the cleaning team - very clean throughout.

This is a beautiful, historic hotel. We had 2 family rooms which were clean. Location is excellent for visiting the old historic area of town. We stayed 1 night before ferry to France the next morning. Coffee/tea service in the room was very good. Definitely would stay again.
