The 30 Best Hotel in Portsmouth

“Just had the most gorgeous Christmas lunch at the Anglesey Hotel. Congratulations to the chef , the meal was absolutely delicious and they dont stint on the amount either! The staff are happy, friendly and so helpful.”

“A great hotel in a perfect location with very friendly snd helpful staff. Stayed in a harbour view room which was brilliant. A great location for the historic dockyard and gunwharf quays, both within walking distance, so once we parked up in the lockable car park we walked everywhere. The bus and rail stations are directly opposite if needed.”

“Charming hotel close to the historic dockyard. Friendly staff. Could do with some renovation. Good beds and cozy rooms but shower was so-so. Loved the restaurant. Good food for very reasonable prices. Loved the cheese platter. Lots of atmosphere.”

“LOVE THIS PLACE. Absolutely delicious food. Fantastic staff and an absolute must visit when on the Isle of Wight! Love. Love. Love.”

“Stayed here for the first time, some aspects are a bit tired and could do with an update as for the price of my stay I didn't expect threadedbare carpets! Another coffee machine at breakfast would be useful as waiting to get a coffee which you make yourself was a bit frustrating. Staff and service were excellent as was the meals I enjoyed here, great dinners and breakfast.”

“I highly recommend this Premier Inn, the rooms are clean with great facilities, it's central to everything and the staff are amazing, especially the manager Kelly. Sadly on the 3rd day of our stay the fire alarm was activated due to a fire in the Costa below, I cannot fault any of the staff they kept us updated and as soon as they knew we couldn't go back in they arranged alternative accomodation at the nearby Premier Inn's. Their care and dedication was 2nd to none and I'm extremely grateful for their care of my daughter and myself who both suffer from anxiety. They updated guests the next day and most of us were able to pack our own things to move over to the new accommodations. Excellent stay cut short through no fault of the hotel.”

“My third visit to this Hotel. The rooms and facilities are excellent, the staff are friendly and very helpful. The breakfast is good quality and a great choice. Can't fault the place.”

“My husband and i spent xmas here.Best christmas ever . We were entertained from morn til late eve .

“I really enjoyed my stay Here. very clean and lovely staff.definitely coming back.”

“Spent 3 nights here with family from Australia and we were so pleased we did. The rooms were clean and spacious and we ate at the hotel every night as the food was very well priced and delicious. Staff were very helpful and friendly and the added bonus of being able to wash and dry our clothes in house was fantastic. Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.”

“Best hotel ever!!! Amazing rooms, lovely people, great food and drinks. Can't wait to come back!!!”

“Stayed here the day before a cruise ship holiday going from Southampton, red lion nice meal, it's a table table restaurant similar food to most, Sara at reception found us a iron and decaf tea as they dont seem to stock. Breakfast was good. Would stay again.”

“Friendly staff & clean hotel. Breakfast is served in a small restaurant by reception. Good choice of hot & cold breakfast items. Free parking next to the hotel & pub next door serving good food at reasonable prices. There are a few shops a 5 minute walk away, M&S food Hall, Jollies pet store, B&M & a McDonald's. Also an ice rink & leisure centre next to the hotel. A pleasant stay & lovely welcome from the reception & on arrival at breakfast.”

“Fantastic hotel, venue for the wedding we attended over the weekend. Very organised, staff very attentive and friendly. FOOD WAS AMAZING! Shout out to Kerry....Fantastic job! Thanks for making our weekend a cherished memory.”

“Good hotel, big clean and tidy rooms. Bed was large, firm and we slept well. Breakfast was good. Location is in the town centre, 5 minute walk to ferry port for the 5 minute sail across to Portsmouth”

“Great place to stay , excellent location , excellent sea views and friendly staff . Room rates are very reasonable . Would definitely be back !!!!”

“Just returned from an amazing one-night stay at the New Place Hotel for my wife's birthday. I researched many hotels before deciding on this one and it did not disappoint! Such a lovely experience from start to finish. Free parking (and plenty of it). Reception very friendly and helpful. Had a few emails with them in the lead up to our stay and they went above and beyond to make it extra special for my wife (thank you!). Leisure facilities were spot on, very clean and a great way to ease into our lovely stay. We undertook the wooded walk around the property, great to stretch your legs, get your bearings and explore some of the beautiful green areas located within the grounds. Bar & restaurant staff were equally friendly and accommodating, our lovely waitress couldn't do enough for us, she even took us outside between courses to take photos of my wife and I within the beautiful surroundings. Food was amazing. Presentation, taste, portions, selection, everything was spot on. Great selection at breakfast and although we were one of the last to show up, still plenty of fresh food to be enjoyed. The room itself was lovely, spacious, clean, well equipped. It was a warm day, so the large floor standing fan provided was a very welcome addition! Give this place a go, you won't be disappointed!”

“From the moment we arrived at the hotel, we were made to feel welcome and "at home". All of the staff, from Mel in housekeeping to the Manager, are so friendly and helpful, nothing seemed to be too much trouble, at what must be a very difficult time for them. The room was spotless and had everything we needed. The breakfast and the evening meal was excellent, we really couldn't my fault it, and will definitely stay there when next in the area. Well done and thank you to everyone at the Brookfield for making our first taste of normality extra special”

“I led a wedding ceremony here and the staff were lovely. Its modern and big and run very well its a good set up and I had a great time. Oli the operations manager was lovely and knows his stuff and was very helpful. The wedding ceremony went so well I would definitely work with them again in the future.”

“Visited as a couple for afternoon tea earlier this week. It was a delightful experience, would recommend on any basis for those looking for a spot for afternoon tea. Staff were all friendly, helpful and professional. The artwork on display in the resturant was fantastic. The food was great, boxes were provided for leftovers which were enjoyed at home. Hot drinks were never allowed to run out by the attentive resturant staff.”

“Great services and smiles from walking in the door, the rooms are clean and spacious, could do with a few more shelves. Their breakfast, was ample in offerings and quantity. Lead by a very capable Erin on the front desk and backed up by the amazing Lisa in the dining room. There is lots to cheer about as guests are well greeted, making them feel welcome and wishing them a wonderful day ahead.”

“I often visit the Queens Hotel to have a coffee (or something stronger). It is such a beautiful venue & the staff are lovely. We recently had afternoon tea there & it was truly fabulous. Myself & my friend both needed the food to be gluten free and as such we were pleasantly surprised at how good everything was. There was more than plenty so we had a take home box each too. The team were friendly and helpful both on the day & when we phoned to discuss gluten free options. A great experience that I would recommend to anyone.”

“Great place to stay. Great breakfast. Comfy beds. Wonderful staff. Parking is a bit tricky so best not go in a SUV! Will be going again.”

“I used this brilliant Premier Inn after arriving at Portsmouth on a ferry from Spain. Very close to the terminal and a nice and convenient place to stay before driving home the next day. Staff very helpful and friendly. An excellent night's stay. Going to use again in October.”

“We had a really great time at the Solent Hotel, we were there for a Christmas joiner party and booked a night's stay as well. The room was spacious, clean, well equipped and we liked the little touches like sleep masks, sleep spray and super comfy robes as well as the little bottles in the fridge to help ourselves to the fresh milk and water stations on our floor. Such a fab idea! The bed and pillows were really comfortable and there were options to change pillows if needed too. The White company products in the bathroom were heavenly as well. The food and the party were fab as was an excellent buffet breakfast. As guests of the hotel we were also able to make use of the newly refurbished and lovely spa. All in all a great hotel and we would definitely stay again.”

“I had a fantastic stay at the Dorset Hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming — nothing was too much trouble. The room was spotless and very well maintained, which made for a really comfortable stay. Breakfast each morning was a real highlight — fresh, tasty, and with plenty of choice to suit everyone. The location is also perfect, with easy access to local attractions, shops, and transport links. Everything about the hotel felt clean, well-run, and thoughtfully managed. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. A real gem!”

“I was really impressed with Apex that took over my property at short notice. They were professional, efficient, and communicated with me every step of the way. They quickly found new tenants for my property and handled all the paperwork smoothly. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable letting agent.”

“We stayed here for 3 nights. I was absolutely pleasantly surprised. Nothing was too much to ask for from filling up our bottles most days to placing ice cream in the fridge. The hotel was clean friendly and the pool was a little gem. I would say relaxed and perfect. I really enjoyed my stay here for a 3 star this hotel was an example of great cleanliness friendly staff and overall good service. I would not say anything was bad. Great location good to visit Portsmouth like we did. Next time will prob stay longer then 3. Breakfast was outstanding to the fried choice and then the fresh quality fruit or small pastries. Decaff was cool I had a big cafe tiere each breakfast. Just over all great choice!”

“Stayed here as came down to see family staff were very helpful and friendly! Clean… good nights sleep what more can you want would stay again !”

“From the moment we arrived to when we checked out, nothing was any trouble for the staff, particularly Vicky. She was polite, courteous, helpful and accommodating from check-in to check-out. She worked tirelessly at the check-in desk, then straight onto the on-site restaurant fir the evening meals where she suddenly became the waitress, serving all customers with a smile and respect. Then again, serving breakfast. Without doubt, Vicky is the archetype of an excellent advertisement for the staff at the Premier Inn (Havant) Portsmouth. We will most definitely book to stay here again in the near future. A fabulous experience and excellent value for money, during these troubled and uncertain times.”
