Keppels Head Hotel, hotel in Portsmouth

This historic hotel, built in 1779, has free parking and an excellent location about 200 metres from Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard, Portsmouth Harbour Rail Station, Gunwharf Quays and Spinnaker...

Fantastic location. Nice breakfast but not a ton of options. The view from the room was great, featuring the spinnaker tower at night and the harbour. The room was very spacious.

The Red Lion by Innkeeper's Collection, hotel in Portsmouth

Just 4 minutes’ walk from Cosham town centre, the The Red Lion by Innkeeper's Collection offers en suite rooms alongside its bar and pizza kitchen.

The full English breakfast (for the non-vegetarian). The efficient service for a table of 18 with a minimum of fuss. A free 70th birthday cake, even though it was for an 80-year-old....which prompted an 85-years reprise several days later, all in good humour. Easy access to shops (not just Tesco, but a bewildering array of tattoo parlours, nail bars, barber shops, off-licences and bingo halls), as well as public transport.

CarterCo Rooms, hotel in Portsmouth

Located in Portsmouth and with Southsea Common Beach reachable within 1 km, CarterCo Rooms provides a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a bar.

It’s modern and the facilities are clean and well looked after. The keyless entry is a real plus so you don’t have an extra thing to carry around with you. Was privileged enough to meet the owner who was particularly hospitable and even helped us out with parking overnight. The bar downstairs was fantastic and made for a very nice afternoon in the outside area

FAQs about hotels in Portsmouth









Royal Dockyard of the British Isles

An important harbour for centuries, Portsmouth counts with one of the busiest ferry piers in the United Kingdom, has the oldest dry dock still in use in the world. Its Historic Dockyard is home to famous British ships like Lord Nelson's flagship HMS Victory, the Mary Rose and the HMS Warrior.

In the picturesque Old Town you’ll find typical English pubs, coloured houses, and small independent shops. It also has a Fish Market provided by the city’s small fishing fleet. In Old Portsmouth is possible to find smaller hotels, B&B’s and guest houses, some of them not far from the ferry harbour.

The Gunwharf Quays are a modernly renovated shopping area, home to the Spinnaker Tower, while the centre has an ever-growing number of shops. Don’t miss Commercial Road and the Cascades Shopping Centre. Hotels in Portsmouth’s city centre allow you to be close to everything what the city has to offer.

For relaxing moments, Portsdown Hill allows panoramic views over the city and the Isle of Wight. During summer, its sandy beaches are a must.

    My accommodation, booked and paid for, was a complete disaster. It no longer even existed. Don’t get caught out, and don’t believe anything you see about staying at ‘Zoom’, it is a lie. I was thankful to get a room at Travelodge in Portsmouth instead, but all this after a long day’s travel by train from up north. Travelodge felt like heaven! Portsmouth was fine, but tainted by my bad experience.

    The coastal area is nice to walk along.

    The coastal area is nice to walk along. The Mary Rose & Victory Museum are very good. Portsmouth city centre is dull, lacking greenery or planters, many shops are empty. It is not an attractive city centre! There is a statue of Charles Dickens in the Guildsquare otherwise the area is grim.

    I'm a budget traveller so I don't need luxurious accommodation..around £50-60 per night is OK...if you're wanting to go into the city lots of buses available....you can change in the city for a bus to gunwharf....I did mention a kettle and tea/ coffee making facilities would be nice....if you want a big breakfast tesco is 2 minutes walk.....I would recommend this hotel for price and convenience

    The attraction was the harbour.

    The attraction was the harbour. The ticket was expensive but well worth it. The Mary Rose Museum was phenomenally good - exciting, imaginitive and caught the attention of grandparents, parents and children alike. The Victory was almost equally good and the guides there were exceptional. We also visited the Warrior where the guide took over explaining to the children, told us an immense amount but also had us all in fits of laughter. Strongly recommended for all ages We also very much enjoyed Portchester castle and the exhibition on the prison there (and the cafe in the church.

    Was so pleasantly surprised by this hotel. All of the staff were absolutely lovely and very helpful. The room was very nice, the bathroom super clean (with great shower pressure, a spacious tub, and VERY good hand soap). The bed was extremely comfy — unusual for all of the pillows to be as comfortable as this hotel. The decor of the entire place was very fun, properly themed. I had a good look at all the model boats. The breakfast was pretty standard, very edible. Spectacular location for Portsmouth Harbour attractions & Gunwharf Quays.

    The room is enough space for 2 people. The bathroom is tiny but good. It has a small window which can open for fresh air and ventilation. The location is great, I can walk to Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, Museum and Arts Gallery, and clarence pier Portsmouth. I booked it for 1 night. Actually, you could book for 2 nights and it would be better for travelling and explore more things. I got a car and there is secure parking in the hotel, £10 per 24 hours/day. Recommend it. I would come back again.

    We were in transit having arrived late in the evening on the ferry from Spain and we were due to get the train early the following morning. The hotel is in a good position as it is a short walk from Portsmouth and Southsea train station. The staff were friendly on arrival and the room was clean. Ideal budget accomodation. No issues to report.
