The Ship Leopard Boutique Hotel & Cafe in Portsmouth

We spent 2 comfortable nights here. The owners kindly let us park up early on the day we arrived and late on the day we left. This enabled us to maximise our time in the Royal Naval Dockyard, which is a couple of steps away. The location is excellent for that and the Gunwharf, very close and full of standard restaurants and many nice shops. The view from our room was fabulous. It was very clean, good bed and lovely shower. Very nice, generous cooked breakfast in the morning. It is a bit noisy from the road but we expected that as the hotel is opposite the Harbour station. We slept with the window open but if you are v noise sensitive you would need it shut. We enjoyed watching the station bustle, where trains buses and boats link up!

We loved this place. Don’t come here if you are looking for new or modern, but if you are looking for a clean, comfortable, convenient place with a wonderful breakfast and secure parking then this is the one for you. Lots of convenient pubs and restaurants nearby. You could also spend a day shopping and the mall across the street. We would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a place to stay in Portsmouth.

Fantastic location and a lovely little boutique hotel. Free parking on site is an added bonus and the staff and service are wonderful. Recommend highly

Well let's start at the top. Superb location. If arriving by train you only have to cross the road from the station and the hotel is in front of you. Secure customer parking, if arriving by car. A lift. Say no more. Lovely room overlooking the Spinnaker Tower and HMS Warrior, with beutiful views across to Gosport. Clean room comfortable bed, lovely towels and toiletries and tea coffee making facilities. Great breakfast, brilliant service. Kippers, full English. Fruit, yogurt toast juice, cereal you name it. This knocks some expensive hotels we have stayed at. And thank you to all of the staff, especially Jeremy on Sunday evening at the bar, for good conversation. Thank you guys.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in late July 2022. It is a lovely hotel with very helpful and pleasant staff. Excellent location, close to the dockyards, train and bus stations. The lift was not working but we were helped with the luggage by staff and also when in a big rush when we needed to get down fast at checkout to catch a train in a hurry. Staff gave us good advice as to what to see and where the good restaurants were. The breakfast was excellent. Will stay there again. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

SHEER DISAPPOINTMENT. Avoid this place its a shambles. Firstly we were told it was pay on arrival,yet in the days before our stay we were hounded for payment otherwise our booking would have been cancelled!!! Hold on it gets worse. The welcome was non existent and the room was disgracefull, we paid for king size but had a double with a tiny tv,the decor was a mess and the furniture was a state (way over used) hairs on window sills, dust everywhere, out of date biscuits in the convenience pack, rotting window frames which had left lots of paint flakes on the seating below. Breakfast was a mistake, the pastries were rock hard,the full english was way overcooked and the eggs were just bland the toast came out around 40 mins before the breakfast, the coffee was horrid and instant despite having a proper coffee machine behind the desk they call a bar. I paid for a top spec room and was given the dirty leftovers, i would not recommend anyone waste their money here, you would be more comfortable in a travelodge. The view from the room was beautiful but thats my only positive feedback and with all due respect, i can see the view for free. In summary the hotel has been filled with cheap tacky mirrored furniture and they call it premium, sorry its just not and to clarify my point, i wiped my feet on the way out. Also your cleaning staff are useless and most definately require guidance on the standard you are trying to achieve because right now they are failing. I doubt this is an isolated incident as we went with friends and their room was just as filthy. My receipt states superking with super en suite but a double bed and washroom smaller than most wardrobes is anything but super.

Un hotel boutique adyacente al Portsmouth Historic Dockyard significaba que era ideal para nuestra corta estadía en Portsmouth. El personal es amable y muy servicial. Nuestra habitación daba al HMS Warrior, lo cual era maravilloso. Las habitaciones están impecables, pero por el precio que pagamos, me hubiera gustado haber visto artículos de tocador mejores y más abundantes y una caja de pañuelos de papel. La decoración era ecléctica y bordeaba la elegancia deslumbrante, pero el comedor era agradable.

Great hotel, clean comfortable and staff were fabulous, and very helpful. GF was no trouble. Secure parking. Good value for money. Great location for Historic dockyard. We will be back

Cracking hotel right next to The Royal Navy Museum.Spinnaker tower is literally 5 mins away and so are the shops and restaurants of Gunwharf Quays.Staff are great, breakfast was lovely and served quickly and rooms were perfect.Would definitely recommend if you are staying in Portsmouth.Definitely would stay here again.

Ideal for Portsmouth attractions and shopping. Within walking distance of Mary Rose and Spinnaker Tower.

I used the Leopard when in the forces and so it was great to come back for a welcome nostalgic drink

Gran experiencia y estancia. La gente es sobresaliente y servicial. Las habitaciones son limpias y acogedoras. Hecho a pedido desayuno caliente con muchas opciones. El personal es muy servicial y también conocí al dueño. El personal de este hotel es como la familia. Proporcioné información para mis aventuras diarias y siempre me sentí seguro y feliz de saludar cada día. Muy recomendable con una variedad de opciones de habitación.

Muy convenientemente ubicado para el astillero histórico. Super vistas desde las habitaciones. Habitación bien, baño muy pequeño y lavabo muy bajo para lavarse. Ligeramente sucio en algunas partes. Personal amable y acogedor. El desayuno está bien, bajamos a las 9. 50 am (se sirve hasta las 10 am) y estaban limpiando el buffet / jugo a nuestro alrededor, lo que me parece muy irritante. Decoración un poco hortera. Está bien si asiste a un evento en el astillero y conveniente para Gunwharf Quays.

Estaba en la zona por negocios, así que reservé este hotel, no soy fanático de las cadenas y prefiero los hoteles boutique. En cuanto al precio, mis colegas me han dicho que este hotel se compara favorablemente, si no es mejor, que las cadenas de presupuesto. Está en una ubicación muy conveniente, a minutos de la estación y de los muelles opuestos de Gun Wharf, que era genial para conseguir algo de comer. También tiene tiendas encantadoras que, debido a las restricciones presupuestarias de enero, no exploré demasiado. Antes de llegar, llamé para verificar a qué hora podía registrarme, hablé con John, quien no podría haber sido más útil. La habitación era preciosa, muy moderna, con un baño limpio y encantador y un suministro generoso de toallas y menaje para preparar té. La cama era súper cómoda e inusualmente para mí cuando estaba solo, dormí siete horas seguidas y solo desperté con mi alarma sonando. El desayuno era genial, inglés completo muy bien presentado. Ahora estoy en mi tren rumbo a mi próximo destino, hermosa vista de The Victory, muy bien renovado e impresionado con toda la experiencia. Este sería un lugar muy agradable para pasar un fin de semana, buenas instalaciones locales, mucho que hacer y podrías dejar el auto y usar el tren. Muy recomendable.

Pequeño hotel encantador que ha sido amueblado con un estándar muy alto y supongo que en el último año o dos. Nuestra habitación era extremadamente cómoda con una vista del HMS Warrior y la Torre Spinnaker. Hermosa ubicación para los astilleros con Mary Rose y HMS Victory, las puertas del astillero están a unos cincuenta metros de distancia. También a solo cinco / diez minutos a pie de Gunwharf Quays con todas sus tiendas y restaurantes de alta gama.El desayuno en el hotel estaba recién preparado a pedido, abundante y de alta calidad. El servicio fue eficiente.Debe tenerse en cuenta que es solo alojamiento y desayuno

This is a beautiful place to stay in Portsmouth HarbourWe was here for just one night and this hotel was chosen because it was by the train station and by the harbourWe was given a gorgeous room on the top floor with a great view.The staff are very friendly and welcomingI would recommend that you stay here if you ever want to visit Portsmouth Harbour.5 stars

Solo estuvimos 1 noche y tuvimos que irnos temprano en la mañana, así que no tuvimos una buena idea de cómo era el desayuno. Pero el personal fue servicial y nos dejó dejar nuestro equipaje mientras exploramos el HMS Victory y el patio de la marina. También nos ayudó a organizar un taxi para nuestra salida de la mañana. La ubicación fue excelente!

I have stayed at the ship leopard with friends and family over the last few years and the previous management and staff were fantastic.

We stayed 5 nights at the Ship Leopard while visiting Portsmouth. We loved the hotel and will come back next time we are in Portsmouth. The hotel is very well located as it is close to the Dockyards and to a variety of restaurants and shops. Our room overlooked the harbour and The Warrior and it was not too noisy during the night. We loved the choice for breakfast and all staff were very helpful and friendly. We also appreciated the car park behind the hotel as parking seems complicated and pricey in Portsmouth.

Llegamos el 19/07/19 junto con otras 18 personas para que nos informaran que nuestra reserva, que habíamos pagado en su totalidad en enero, no estaba disponible.

I stayed at this Hotel 3years ago and decided to treat a friend as a Birthday present. I was a little apprehensive to start with as the Hotel had had a turbulent couple of months but I need not have worried. David, the new Manager couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. Replying promptly and professionally to all of my questions and queries! The Hotel was as good as I remembered, the staff very polite and helpful, the bed very comfortable, the room clean and the breakfast plentiful and nicely cooked. I really can not recommend this Hotel enough. It is in a great location and there is no need to use the car once you arrive. There is parking on site which is an added bonus as parking in Portsmouth is at a premium.

Great hotel, perfect location for most attractions, didn’t need to drive walked everywhere! Friendly staff, modern attractive room, very clean, only comment bring your own toiletries ! Breakfast really good would definitely recommend

I used to come here when I was in the forces and it was nice to come back to recollect memories. Good atmosphere and a good pint of real ale

A lovely bed and breakfast with a superb position on the sea front and very comfortable rooms

Well, reasonable at the ground floor level. The decor is a little gaudy but originally thought this was more kitsch. But my guest whom I had booked into the hotel found it too overpowering, gaudy glitszy.

We had 11 rooms booked - the hotel closed giving us 3 days notice and still have not refunded over £1300 deposit. Another excellent hotel, Holiday Inn Express, found us rooms at short notice.

Reservé esto en el último minuto debido principalmente a la disponibilidad y ubicación.

Mi esposo y yo nos hospedamos en el The Ship Leopard Boutique Hotel por dos noches. Fue absolutamente maravilloso. Teníamos una Suite King que era simplemente hermosa. . . pero también vislumbramos la habitación 15. . . Presumiblemente una Suite King Superior. Ahí es donde queremos quedarnos la próxima vez. . . Habrá una próxima vez. Desde el aparcamiento en el aparcamiento de la calle Wickham (5 por noche con un "pase" desde el hotel) hasta el check in, el desayuno y todo. . . fue perfecto en Cada habitación es claramente única. Internamente, el hotel es muy tranquilo. Aparte de la extraña plancha del piso desde arriba (como era de esperar en una casa de estilo georgiano), la primera noche fue tan tranquila que esperábamos ser dos de unos pocos huéspedes para el desayuno el sábado. . . así que nos sorprendimos bastante cuando se hizo evidente en el desayuno la cantidad de personas que se alojaban. . . Estábamos justo al lado del ascensor / escaleras pero sin ruido interno. Poco ruidoso afuera durante la noche PERO teníamos ventanas abiertas y es una ciudad / área popular! El personal era muy encantador y servicial. Mención especial de Yasmin que fue fabuloso. El sábado por la mañana, en el desayuno, la echaron a correr, pero era muy profesional, tranquila y amigable. . . y siempre sonriendo. (¿Se necesita más personal en las mañanas de los fines de semana ocupados? ¡?!!!!) El desayuno era delicioso, recién cocinado. Prepáranos para el día. Buena ubicación. . . 30 segundos de ida a Gunwharf Quays y la Spinnaker Tower y 30 segundos a la otra parte para el histórico Dockyard.

Stayed at the Prince Leopard for a weekend trip to Portsmouth. Hotel is in perfect location and easy to park in multi storey car park next door. Room was very small but clean and tidy and perfect for a weekend stay. Fantastic breakfast

Me alojé aquí por dos noches mientras visitaba los astilleros. No podría estar mejor ubicado, a menos de tres minutos a pie del astillero ya cinco minutos del centro comercial Gunwharf Quays. Tuvimos la suite superior, que era excelente, con vistas al puerto, la cama era enorme y el baño de primera clase. El desayuno no podría fallar, una selección de inglés completo, fruta o cereales. El personal era agradable y servicial, no hay quejas en absoluto, si volvemos a Portsmouth sin duda nos alojaremos aquí de nuevo.

I didn’t stay at this hotel but walked in for breakfast on the recommendation of my colleague Unfortunately I only stayed 5 minutes the staff were surly and not helpful They also do not cater for vegetarians

After being let down by Solent forts at short notice I contacted this little hotel. The front of desk staff couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. We stayed one night. Our room was tastefully decorated and above all clean. The hotel is situated in a noisy busy place, right opposite the bus exchange and ferry terminals with Southsea train station. That being said with our windows closed we didn't hear a thing and had a peaceful night's sleep. The hotel is situated well for traveling this historic city and has amazing things on its door step. The historic dockyard (a must to see) and gunwarf quay. For breakfast we didn't see a continental on offer but cereals were ready to go and our full English was very nice. Plenty of tea refills! I would stay here again in my experience.

I booked two rooms here for our stay, one of which was the deluxe suite on the first floor that has views of the historic dock yard. The room was immense and comfortable. The bathroom had a huge shower and a separate soaker tub. The footprint of the bathroom was about the same size as the double room I stayed in on the floor above! This room was quite, clean and comfortable. As for the hotel itself, it was clean and in a great location. The staff were fantastic too. The breakfast was a fairly basic continental buffet with tea and barista coffee, but was enough for us.

This hotel has so much to offer, its in a FABULOUS location right in the sea front close to the Mary Rose and Spinnaker Tower when we arrived the Front of house was very friendly and also after we had been out for our evening meal the Gentleman looking after reception was very polite and friendly, Unfortunately for us this is where the good points finish, we had paid £200 for our room and to say it was OK is as far as i can go, i have stayed in better rooms for less.

Very puzzled by the previous review - old and addled as we are, we found no difficulty in finding the entrance to this hotel (or in locating the lift, which is beside the bar). Once inside, we were greeted by a very welcoming Jasmine, who was both friendly and efficient (as was the fellow who served our breakfast coffee). The lift itself is protected by a security key system (on the room key fob).

My partner and I stayed at the Ship Leopard "Boutique" Hotel in January 2018 as a stop off for shopping trip in Portsmouth and Southampton. Upon arrival we were slightly confused as the outside said "Ship Leopard Cafe". We didn't really know which entrance to use as we thought we were going into a cafe not a hotel. Anyway, once inside we were greeted by a very friendly female member of staff who, to be fair was very pleasant and welcoming. Once we got our key it was confusing how we got to our room as the lift is in the same room as the cafe and restaurant and reception area which is odd in our opinion and no clear signs. In our room it looked very clean but dated and furniture was broken in places and it wasn't very well presented, more like a roadside motel then luxury boutique. We wouldn't say the room was very modern it was just run down and dated and cheap looking. However it wouldn't be fair to just give negatives and there were some good positives. The staff are very friendly and on hand for any issues with a pleasant attitude which is nice to see in a world full of bad attitudes and poor customer service. Can't fault customer service. View from our room was not bad either, got a lovely view of the boats and historic ships which was nice to wake up to. The bed was comfy and we both slept well. The washing facilities were basic but did the job. Overall an average stay at we weren't blown away. The decor of the hotel is very confused, we are not sure what it is trying to be. Is it a hotel? Is it a cafe? Or is it a restaurant? It certainly isn't boutique and you do not feel like exclusive guests. 3/5.

Wow, what an amazing little hotel. Firstly it's in a fab location, futhermore, its just a gem of a hotel. The rooms are fab, and brilliantly decorated. Staff are super friendly and very helpful. Breakfast in the morning is cooked to order and delicious. Would highly recommend.

We needed an early check-in to get ready for a wedding and the staff were very friendly and helpful in getting the room ready for us in time. The room, lounge area and bathroom spaces were all gorgeous with everything we needed; spacious, modern and well decorated. Great shower and very comfy bed. Breakfast was also very good. Would definitely stay here again. Very convenient location right on the harbour, a couple of minutes from the historic dockyard on one side and a couple of minutes walk from gunwharf quays shopping district on the other. Perfect stay.

Situated opposite the bus station, rail station and harbour with views across the bay make this an ideal location to stay. The historic dockyard is about 400 yards away and Gunquay Wharf a little further with its many retail outlets, bars and restaurants, cinema and casino. The city centre is a 15 minute walk away. As for the hotel itself all was good apart from the cleanliness of the bathroom which was below par. Rather than repeat other reviewers positive comments I would just add that there is good free Wi-Fi connection. We would definitely stay again and would recommend to family and friends.

Stayed at the Ship Leopard on in Portsmouth on the way to Pick the ship up in Southampton docks.

This was a lovely surprise, I had booked 2 rooms for myself and my teenagers, the rooms were spotless with complimentary items, despite the location on a main road, it was very quiet and what a view out the window....

Estábamos buscando un lugar para tener un almuerzo ligero mientras visita el histórico astillero como las cafeterías allí estaban llenas y cara. Es el barco de leopardo justo fuera de las puertas y un aspecto muy atractivo en un día nublado, así que decidimos probarlo. No estábamos muy hambrientos, así que solo pedimos una baguette y una porción de patatas fritas para compartir. A pesar de pedir una comida sólo con eficacia, el chef muy amablemente dividida en 2 de nuestra Orden, que hizo las cosas mucho más fácil para nosotros. La camarera era muy servicial. Sin duda merece la pena probar si estás en la zona.

Very smart though very quiet. Looks like a nice place to stay. Right on the hard near buses, trains, ferries and the Dockyard. Not too expensive to have a drink here compared to other places around.

I had breakfast and afternoon snacks here while staying in the boutique rooms. Very nice food, freshly prepared.

We had a breakfast and everything was great. I've juste had a porridge but it was nice and the service was friendly.

Stopped one night on Sunday (b&b).Lovely clean, modern room. First floor up with views of HMS Warrior and the Spinecer tower.Helpful staff.Full English Breakfast was very tasty. Choice of anything off the breakfast menu. Cereal and pastries too.Highly recommend to anyone visiting the Navel Dockyard or needing a stop over before heading over to No Man's fort like we did.

We came here because there is no where at the Historic Dockyard that serves breakfast and wow what a find. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was excellent. The full English breakfast was cooked perfectly. Nice runny fried eggs, herby Lincolnshire sausages, crispy bacon, roasted tomatoes and fried mushrooms were all done flawlessly. Even the toast and tea were nice. The prices are inexpensive and I would definitely recommend this place. It's disorders right next to the Dockyard, train station and Gunwharf Quay.

As others have said, The Ship Leopard is in a great location, and this was the reason we chose this hotel. A few minutes to walk to the Historic Docks, the same in the other direction for Gunwharf Quay, and right by the waterfront, ferries, etc. We thought it might be noisy on a Sat night but all was quiet by 10pm. Parking voucher from the hotel for a nearby parking station takes you to 12md following day. We had a lovely room at the front overlooking the water and the Waterloo (1860). Staff were helpful and friendly, and we left our bags with them for short period. All you need in the room with water views and afternoon sun streaming in. Very nice! Breakfast was fine - very basic continental or a cooked breakfast. We'd love to return to Portsmouth. The Naval Dockyards are outstanding and could spend days here. Boat trips are included in the 12 month ticket. Easily an enjoyable 3 or 4 days for anyone interested in naval history etc.

This really is a little gem of a hotel - excellent location, brilliant staff and a lovely room. We spent two nights at this hotel.Arriving at the hotel, we were greeted by really friendly staff who could not do enough for us; when we got to the room, it was beautifully decorated with a nice big comfortable bed. The bathroom was well equipped - a minor problem with the shower unit was fixed whilst we had breakfast the next morning!!!! ..... I would highly recommend this hotel - location-wise, it cannot be beaten .... less than 100 yards from the Naval Dockyard

We spent three nights here. Our room was fantastic overlooking the Warrior and the Spinnaker tower. The room was fabulous, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. All and I mean ALL of the staff were helpful and friendly. We felt nothing was too much for them. If I go back to Portsmouth I shall look no further.

Lovely little hotel, polite gentleman on reception on arrival. Arrived at 9.30pm however found it difficult to find parking. Also room only had coat hooks, a couple hangers be great for clothes.

As a family we stopped here for a coffee and fruit juice prior to boarding our coach. Even at 0730 they were open and very welcoming. Happy for us and all our luggage. The chef came out and offered our children freshly baked cakes (for free) I would consider staying at the the hotel give the high level of service provided .

A very smart and comfy hotel in a great location. Very clean and modern interior, and the staff is splendid!

A gorgeous cafe, beautifully decorated. Unfortunately, that's as good as it gets. After waiting for 20 minutes and asking for service three times, I eventually walked up to the counter to order. Coffee came and we ordered one muffin. Not a difficult order. 20 minutes later, when it became clear the waitress had forgotten both us and our order, we approached the counter again to ask for the bill. The waitress gave us our coffee free.It was a second visit. won't be going again.

We were only booked here for one night and we had a pleasant stay.We new that we had a compact room but it was fine for one night but I wouldn't want to stay much longer we also had a great view of the Warrior from our bedroom window yes there is construction work going on in front of the hotel but this didn't bother us.I choose this hotel for its great location to the dockyard attractions and the next door multi storey carpark,a minute walk to the dockyardBreakfast was ok the cooked breakfast was good but not much choice pastry and cereal wise,also they need to place a bin by the table were the cereals are has this soon filled up with empty boxes and no where to place them.If in Portsmouth I don't think you will disappointed with a stay here .

We arrived a little early for a visit to the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard so decided to pop into The Ship Leopard for morning coffee/tea. They were busy serving residents their breakfast but still had enough seating for us and served us very quickly. Staff were very polite. A member of our party said he would return here and use the hotel the next time we visited!

I absolutely love travelling away for a short break. Opting to use Stagecoach which is across the road from this hotel it is convenient to wait and have a cup of coffee and browse the papers. The hotel has great reviews for the bed and breakfast, living up the road I will not ever have a need to stay but I have suggested it to familiy and friends.

We went for a midweek brake and found this Hotel and how please we were the staff are very friendly very clean and tidy the room have that nice boutique feel,it is in an idle location for the shops and the harbour,I would like to say a very little thing and it is little the sealant around the shower tray is in need of repair. There is also parking near this hotel in multi-storey which is very local to the hotel and it is a good price with the hotel discountWe will definitely be staying in this hotel again and I would like to say a big thanks

We stayed at the hotel for a couple of nights in August 2016. The hotel is right on the waterfront five minutes walk from the Historic Dockyard and a little more to the Gunwharf Quays shopping and restaurant centre.The hotel is small but the rooms are excellently fitted out and feel very fresh. Only breakfast is available in the hotel but full English is available and is well prepared.The staff are very helpful.There is no attached parking facility but the hotel has an arrangement with a secure multi-storey parking garage literally only fifty yards to the rear of the hotel for 24 hour parking for five pounds.

Had lunch with friends here and was pleasantly surprised by the ambience and decor. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the prawn baguettes we had were stuffed full, and accompanied by salad and crisps. Wouldn't hesitate to use again when needing a place for lunch.

Stayed for two nights at this hotel. Friendly staff. The room was tidy and newly renovated, yet very basic. Air was quite stuffy and especially at night it was hot because the room didn't have airconditioning. Breakfast was ok, but limited choices for a lighter taste. Good location very close to shopping and harbour train station. Ok for a short stay but wouldn't recommend for a longer holiday.

The really good thing about this hotel is its location. The hotel is modern, but our room was very small and too cramped for two persons. It might have worked as a single room. The breakfast was good, but an exaggeration to call itself a gourmet breakfast. Parking was in the nearby multi storey car park and the hotel provided a discount voucher for £10 for 24 hour parking. We ate a good dinner at a nearby Chinese restaurant called Tin Tin. Don't be put off by its scruffy exterior. The place was clean and the food and service good.

This is a great find, an old hotel that has been fixed up to modern standards without losing its appeal. It is not large, with a limited number of rooms, but the one we stayed in (#34) was wonderful; good size, modern decor, comfortable bed and pillows, and a modern washroom (shower only though). From the 3rd floor our room had two windows looking out onto the water, with a good view of HMS Victory. We also were very pleased with its proximity to Gunwharf Quays, a large shopping and restaurant complex that is located on the water. This new complex is fantastic; you basically cross the street and you are there. You can walk for quite a distance along the harbour from the access in Gunwharf. So, the hotel is great, the location is great, and to top it all off the hotel provides a complimentary breakfast of hot and cold foods. We'd return in a flash!

Just had the breakfast which was included with the price of the hotel room. The buffet was adequate, but the cooked breakfast was delicious.

Many a Royal Navy sailor would reminise about this pub, set on the front by the gate to the dockyard it is a favourite with matlots forever, set alongside a number of other drinking establishments well worth a visit if you doing the dockyard tour, just a couple of hundred yards from Portsmouth Harbour train station it is easily acessible

Visiting the Dockyard with friends we called in on our way for breakfast. It was so good we called in again on our way back!Great food served by friendly staff in comfortable surroundings.

Having been given a tour of the Dockyard, we wanted an hotel nearby. This hit the spot! Within a short walk of the dockyard and close to Gunwharf quays shopping outlet. The hotel was very clean, the staff very friendly and helpful and we loved the quirky decor, would certainly go there again

The area on high street was not brilliant, but overlooked the HMS Warrior Spinnaker Tower and harbour which was excellent.Our room was the luxury King and was fantastic... a real treat, The room was veyr hot and we had to open all the windows and close the bathroom door leading to our bedroom as the radiator was permanently on, but this didnt affect our stay.The staff were friendly attentive and helpful.The breakfast was not high end , with a limited breakfast choice, but I would definately stay again

Located within easy reach of maritime experiences and also shops,restaurants at Gunwharf quays so great location. Lovely decor everywhere in hotel. Our room was the superior with huge bathroom and great view. Would recommend. Good breakfast and staff very friendly

Nice room and excellent position for quays and ferry terminal. Easy access to attractions and restaurants and shops.

The hotel is very convenient for the Historic Dockyard, Gunwharf Quays, the Spinnaker Tower and Old Portsmouth. There is a multi story car park next to the hotel and with a voucher from the hotel you get a discounted rate of £5 per day. Is isn't necessary to get the voucher before you check in so park first.The room was very nice and the bed comfortable. Like many hotels the bathroom didn't have any place to put your toiletries but apart from that there was a lovely shower with conventional and rainfall showers. The breakfast was OK but again like many hotels, very limited fresh fruit. Cooked breakfasts were good.The staff were nice and the service good.Definitely a place to stay if you plan to stay in this part of Portsmouth.

Hotel muy bien situado, ante los museos, junto al intercambiador de transporte y el centro comercial. El personal, muy despistado y sin demasiado interés.

I stayed in room 15 overlooking the sea. The room is superb and a bathroom of splendour. The breakfast was excellent and I could not fault this hotel in any way. If I stay in Portsmouth again I will stay here, make sure you stay in room 15. Wi fi was vary fast too.

In comfortable surroundings we had a lovely breakfast for £5 in here served by very helpful staff after a inedible breakfast in our hotel next door.

Nice staff and attentive. Sat outside for a coffee and cake after a day at the dockyards. Good service thank you.

Wanted a beer while waiting for the train. Sat outside and watched the world go by. Very pleasant.A wide choice of whiskies, and specialist bottle beers.

nice restaurant with a nice view. I had a basic breakfast which was OK, the staff were very attentive and helpful

Great location as it's just opposite the station and nice ambiance. Not crowded like other places around.

I would like to give it 5 star as the menu looked really good!! When we ordered our meal both our starters were fine, but then my wife was told that they never had the meal she asked for and had to choose something else, so for that I have knocked 1 star off. Then 10 mins later my husband was told his meal was not available, another star knocked off. It was cold in there, another star knocked off. Although the staff were ok, there was just no atmosphere in there at all last star knocked off.Will not be returning..Garry.Shipp

Fresh new place on the Hard. We tried the cooked breakfast, and were pleasantly surprised. The remainder of the menu looked good enough to return, not over-complicated or long. Handy for when the Feed Cafe is full (which is usual), and comparable pricewise for breakfast at least... with more confortable seating. Convenient if you are travelling by bus or train to Gunwharf Quays.

We made an initial visit to this cafe/restaurant for hot drinks on a crisp January day and enjoyed the comfortable ambience together with friendly and efficient care provided by the staff. Although we did not eat on this occasion, there is a varied menu at fair prices and clearly another visit is required. With late afternoon sun streaming through the windows, the experience could not be faulted.

Lunch time meal here on a Friday. Good quality of food and friendly service.Not too long to wait for the order to arrive.Thumbs up.
