This is a hard one to call in some ways because I remember the D of B as a busy food led pub not the rather disinterested looking pub I saw last week. So hard to believe that this pub could not make money with the right kind of offering and service!? Firstly the room was clean and functional, and... More

Stayed here the night before the Great South Run. It is ideally located in a nice part of Old Portsmouth. A parking permit was provided to park in the local residents area behind the pub. Room was small and basic but was fine for what I needed. Reading other reviews, I think the rooms probably vary quite a lot. Staff... More

Sadly this was the worst 'hotel' that I have stayed in'. No breakfast; so this added an extra £10 for a couple per night.( Voucher referred to by others only offers a free drink) Drink making facilities were provided. The travel kettle was very small and took ages to boil; only two sachets of milk were provided which meant that... More

the "B&B" as its advertised isn't really a B&B because there is no breakfast available which is a shame because that is one of the reasons we chose to stay here but when we arrived we were told that they no longer do complimentry breakfasts because people were complaining about the lack of choice. The rooms were nice and tea... More

Good rooms, toilets were a bit small. Bed very comfy. The street was quite quiet for a central location. More

One night in Portsmouth before the ferry to St Malo and the Duke was a great budget option. The staff were warm and welcoming and the room basic but very comfortable. Have a look at the City Of Portsmouth Museum if you can (only a short walk away) and of course the Historic Dockyard is worth seeing if you have... More

We booked two rooms for two nights to visit family and thought that the £70 per night room only charge (no breakfast) was a bit pricey, considering the budget hotels were charging between £20 and £40 less! However, it was close to the family we were visiting so we pressed on. Disappointingly we were given two tired rooms at the... More

I went into the Duke of Buckingham to enquire about a room for when my parents came to see me for 3 days. My dad is disabled so I asked to see the rooms and asked for a ground floor on with space in the bathroom. When my parents arrived after a 5 hour drive they were out in the... More

The pub is in Old Portsmouth and although our room faced the main road it wasn't particularly noisy. There is a reasonable Chinese restaurant over the road, and the pub is about a mile from the Harbour station and is an easy walk to Gunwharf Quays. The area is attractive, with some quaint back streets. Staff were friendly. The room... More

I booked my room over the phone, and ordered an early check in. When I got to this B&B, the family room I ordered wasnt ready as they only expected one person. To their credit, they got the family room sorted very quickly and were very apologetic. The rooms are nicely decorated although the en-suite could do with a little... More
