Terrific location, excellent staff. Room was spacious and quiet, however it needed a little TLC (no lamps in the living room area, etc.). Breakfast was adequate.

Hotel Portsmouth is a darling, quaint hotel. The room was comfortable and updated. The a/c was a little confusing, as it was a system I was not familiar with and there were no instructions. But we mostly figured it out so we could remain comfortable. The included breakfast was not very good. The sticky bun was cold and hard, the oatmeal was cold and the only dishes were plastic so it couldn’t be warmed in the microwave. But the eclectic vibe made up for the bad breakfast. And the bar downstairs was a lot of fun.

Great old house. The staircase was beautiful and do were the common rooms. My only complaint would be their use of the word “buffet” for the breakfast, that made me think it would have things like scrambled eggs, bacon maybe pancakes or waffles, it was more of an extended continental breakfast.

This is a lovely inn The room was nicely appointed. Very close to sites,restaurants, etc.. I was somewhat disappointed in the breakfast. We had been traveling quite a bit and had slept in and did not make it to breakfast until about 45 minutes before service ended. Unfortunately the breakfast bar had been well picked over and the only thing left was a bagel and a banana. I would just hope that they would refresh it so there could’ve been some fruit. Thank you for a nice stay.

We stayed in the penthouse and the conditions were sub par. Fan didn't work, some lamps didn't work, curtains were broken, elevator was broken, WiFi was down, and trash wasn't changed from previous guests. Beautiful room but could use some updating especially for a penthouse experience. Friendly staff and otherwise clean and cozy.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was satisfactory and plentiful. Good location with lots of restaurants and shops nearby. The property is a bit dated, although some people might be looking for some place reminiscent of the historical nature of Portsmouth. The rooms are a bit small, but functional.

Lovely building. Nicely and uniquely furnished. Very British style. Service needs improvement. Our room wasn’t cleaned at all on the second day until we contacted the Redon at the front desk. She said she had no idea why it wasn’t cleaned. Brought in a bunch of fresh towels and left them on the bed which wasn’t made. Didn’t pick up soiled towels or clean the bathroom. Didn’t empty wastebaskets. Preposterous! Although staff is friendly, many of thhrm are untrained . This is unacceptable

Perfect weekend stay

Beautifully decorated hotel. Comfy rooms. Great breakfast in the morning to get you on your way. Stayed in one of the bottom rooms, spacious and perfect if you bring your furry friend. However you can hear everything happening on the floors above. Request a higher level room or bring ear plugs to sleep if you are a light sleeper. By the way…Loved the speakeasy on the bottom floor!
