Spacious room with tv and tea/coffee facilities. Plentiful supply of tea etc. Bathroom also of a good size but shower was a bit lacklustre. Ideally placed for visiting the Museum of the Royal Navy which includes HMS Victory and The Mary Rose. Also near the Gunwharf Quays area with shops, restaurants and the Spinaker Tower.

These are updated rooms in an older building that houses a Club and supports for veterans. Great library room and historic mariner plaques all around. Fabulous location near the historic dockyard where we spent both days of our stopover. The staff are excellent! The laundry is handy and uses 1 pound coins. They sell soap pods at reception.

Very good place to stay if you're spending time at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. Its seafaring connections are clear as soon as you go in. There's some parking on site and the breakfast is averagely good for this sort of hotel. Congratulations to the cleaning team - very clean throughout.
