Had a couple hiccup’s our first night but the staff was amazingly accommodating and we had a great stay! Breakfast each morning was really enjoyable with many options for a light breakfast and fresh coffee. Overall a very nice place to stay when in Portsmouth with cozy areas by the fireplace to relax after walking and shopping downtown. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great experience at the Hotel Portsmouth. The decor is super funky and fun. The beds were very comfortable, and the included breakfast was nice. We also visited the very cool bar downstairs. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel. Just a note that the front rooms look out onto the street, so if you are a light sleeper, you may want to request a room toward the back of the property.
