I enjoyed a one night stay at the Queens last night. The Hotel has good on site parking. The decor is impressive and has old world grandeur that's lacking in so many Travel Lodge type places. The staff were very friendly and very helpful - top marks there too. The evening meal was excellent. The bedroom was clean as was the ensuite. Decor fine but some of the furniture was needing changed with something a little more in keeping with the hotel's overall vibe. If you are staying in Portsmouth for any reason, business or pleasure, I'd recommend this place as somewhere to stay. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. 9/10 from me

Surprised, me and my wife booked as we had to stay unexpectedly for the weekend & was expecting a tired worn hotel and found an absolute gem, friendly helpful staff fantastic building and a wonderful large corner room with views to front and side, it's well maintained and very clean, I will definitely book again when I come down on business instead of staying in the more modern hotels with no character

Lovely hotel in a great location

Great location, just by the seafront in Southsea. Very close to the eclectic Southsea centre with it's many restaurants & bars. A great place to stay to explore the wider area. Right on the bus route as well so very easy access to Gunwharf Quay & the old naval museum with the Mary Rose, which is a must visit if you haven't done it already. If you do stay at the hotel there was a 20% naval museum discount for us curtesy of the Queens hotel.

Clean throughout and well-presented Hotel with well-appointed rooms Our room backed onto Osborne St, so some light noise from surrounding night clubs but nothing too bad, At times Breakfast service was disjointed with different staff attending our table, at least we were not ignored! Shops and tourist attractions within 10-20 minute walk, Bus stop out the front. Definately worth staying when visiting Portsmouth.

Nice comfortable stay. Only had breakfast one morning which was fine. Evening meals looked expensive but if paying for quality it’s probably worth it.
