Carla

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Having arrived at the hotel I booked in and made my way through the long corridor to my room. I noticed a very heavy strange atmosphere as I did so and on speaking to hotel staff there.I was advised that the hotel was haunted and strange things occurred, this was not what I wanted to hear On entering the room I found it to be acceptable but not the cleanest place I've stayed but the bed was comfortable. I later spoke to the hotel receptionist who asked how my room was. I told him the room had a heavy atmosphere and then he asked if I got the impression someone had died there ? As a result I didn't sleep all night and had a headache by morning. I did try to change rooms but nothing was available. So never again at The Royal Maritime Hotel Portsmouth

Great place for a short stay with plenty of Naval
Was visiting our son in the RN and wanted a place to stay near the dock. Can't fault this place. It is obviously some sort of hub for the RN as well, associations, support, etc and very heavily RN themed. Rooms were clean but basic, bed was great. Breakfast a serious offering if you wanted a good start to the day. Parking is limited but the hotel sells parking vouchers for local streets at £4.50 for 25 hours. Would certainly use it again

Unsafe, Dirty and Ride
I paid for three nights at this hotel and upon arriving the receptionist was very rude and very dismissive. The floor where my room was located smelt of fresh paint which made me very dizzy. The paint smell also trickled into the room. Immediately after i got into the room i realized i couldn’t stay in the room. The bedsheets looked dirty, the appliances were old and rusty. The lighting in the hotel was dark and gloomy.I informed the receptionist of my discomfort and she quickly told me to leave the hotel if i don’t like and she would not be offering a refund. I ended up paying a very nice hotel next to it. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, it did not even feel safe staying there.
