This hotel was picked by my husband because we didn't have a car after getting off the ferry from France and he wanted to be close to the Navy historic dock. I was not sure at all if this was a good thing after reading reviews but some people are just very picky...I guess I am one of those. This... More

We stayed here recently just to break our journey to Isle of Wight for one night.Very old and doudy really needs updating.The curtains in our room on 2nd floor were disgusting and the wallpaper hasn't been updated for god knows how many years. The beds were comfortable though and the restaurant VERY good especially the morning waitress who was working... More

As all the other reviews have said, you realy couldn't get a better location for Gunn Wharf shopping or the Historic Dockyards, it really is a 5 minute walk in either direction and you get free parking! The good: Great Location, friendly staff, free parking, cheap price. Breakfast was efficient and plentiful, although I did get a guffaw of suprise... More

I have to start off by saying that we have been staying at this hotel for many years starting when it was owned by THF. My Children who are now all over 20 love it but my Wife thinks we should find somewhere else to stay. The Hotel is in need of a refurbishment and as others have said the... More

The Hotel itself is in a great location, a few yards from Portsmouth Harbour Station, The dockyard and Gunwarf Quays. My partner and i stayed here at the weekend and have to say we were dissapointed with our room consedering we paid a fair bit for it (£60 for one night). The hotel itself is an old building, which could... More

The location is ideal, we were right opposite gunn wharf and the naval museum. The rooms are clean and have all the basics. If you are not expecting a luxury Hotel then this could be just the place for you. For 2 nights close to all the Portsmouth attractions, without costing the earth and with a bit of Naval History,...

An old bed room, a broken bed with an overused mattress, that was my bedroom! There were also a whole in the ceiling. The acoustic is a nightmare to the light sleepers, because you will be able to know when the trains timetable. I will never stay here again. More

After reading the reviews we were pleasantly surprised on first entering the hotel, yes in need or some refurbishment but it was full of old charm and you got a real feel of the character of a 200 year old building. The let-down was upon entering our room, the sheets were clean but the divan bed was only fit for... More
