I stayed in the Keppells Head. Staff very friendly and willing to go out of their way. I had a room at the back of the hotel and no view. Also quite noisy, but to be expected being opposite the train station and near a busy pub. Lovely breakfast. A good stay overall and to be recommended.

Front desk at a different hotel. The other hotel has parking, but in a way treated us like we were "less" because we were staying at the Lady Hamilton. Breakfast and breakfast staff were wonderful!

Basic double en-suite room in 2 star hotel. Absolutely ok for one night stay. Clean and tidy. Location excellent opposite gun wharf quays. 24 hour parking permit provided at check in , for on street parking in streets around hotel.

The room was compact and basic as you would expect for the price, but it was clean and the bed though hard was comfortable. The radiator was on full blast which meant the room was too hot and I had to open the window which meant it was noisier than I expected and I didn't sleep well. The staff at the Lady Hamilton and the sister hotel where the breakfast was served were very good and make you feel welcome. The B&B is in a lively pub and but it quiets down about 11.30pm. All in all a good value B&B for the price and I would stay there again, but maybe in a different room.

Located just feet from the Portsmouth Harbor train station, good restaurants (especially The Ship Anson) and the historic dockyard where you could spend several days touring the ships and museums. The beds were very comfortable and while there was no AC there was a fan which worked well with an open window to draw in the cool air. Breakfast was good, skip the “brown bread” tastes like saw dust. The room refresh was lacking, we had to request additional coffee, the waste basket was not emptied and no hand soap in the bathroom (upon arrival and after refresh, finally had to go to front desk to request). Staff were friendly and polite. Would stay there again.

Easy check in. Room fresh and clean. Coffee/tea and bottled water provided. Secure too,with 3 locked doors to get through. Didnt pay for breakfast,so can't comment on that. If there was any negative it was the fact it was a communal toilet just down the corridor, but this never bothered me. Some might not be so happy. For the price it was perfect. I'd stay again if I'm in Portsmouth .Close to station and maritime attractions.

Absolutely dire hotel - Tiny cramped room and no toilet !!!!! Everyone clearly goes in the sink which is just gross Very unhappy and gutted I spent any money on this dive Great staff but they can’t make up for a stingy tight lazy landlord

2/10

This place was a dungeon. Not a room above a pub. A back storage closet that they popped a bed in. Heater would not turn on. Smelled of cigarettes ( I suspect the employees didn’t want to go outside to smoke because of the rain so they smoked in hallway which filled the room ). The internet did not work at all. We had no phone service. The parking was a farce! Pay for this pass and find a parking spot in this B area. Call the number if you have problems but they assumed we had local numbers so that didn’t work. At check in there was no one there at the pub to help, I had to walk in rain to their sister hotel to get the keys. Paid for three days up front - Don’t do that! Was so tired slept one night in the musty dank room and went to sister hotel to eat breakfast and check out. They refused to refund the next two days. Said I should have called them to report all my problems. How could I? No phone service. They paid for my breakfast - small gesture - and offered to move me to sister hotel. Sister hotel had sign - sorry our wifi is not working! I was not going to deal with these people anymore. Hotels.com tried to help but this place refused to refund the two days still paid for. STAY AWAY! Bed shoved into a room does not make a hotel room. Hotels.com should seriously consider whether they want to work with them again. P.s. I am usually the one giving four and five stars and overlooking slight errors on the basis of humanity. Not this one. It is my duty to warn you!

Perfectly acceptable and reasonably priced. Comfortable bed. Shower wasn’t brilliant and the room was a little tired. Very friendly staff and pleasant traditional bar downstairs. Breakfast in the sister hotel next door was very good.

Clean and quiet at back of pub and ground floor room accommodated my daughter’s disability. BUT, you need some hooks on back of bathroom door and a towel ring or similar. And the shower temperature was not consistent- far too hot or too cool.

Wasn't as expected dirty in various places and shower was very temperamental. Bet wasn't very comfy and the lady Hamilton was very noisy no consideration for guests that stayed

Cannot recommend. Only a shower in the room. No toilet! You have to check in at the Kepple Hotel a few doors away(in the rain) Given 3 keys, 1 for the front door, 1 for the next internal door and 1 for the actual room. No lift.. The breakfast, which was in the Kepple Hotel. We had the full English and l can honestly say, it's the worst we have ever had. It was inedible disgusting and so disappointing.
