Really great location, building and facilities in a beautiful spot. We were taking a cruise the next day and stayed at this hotel because of the location to the coast. We had ocean views from our room. The hotel itself is very well preserved and very charming. The bar and restaurant were first class as well. Would definitely stay again.

A lovely stay at a really impressive hotel. The hotel is stunning, it’s right on the seafront with free parking. The grandeur of this building is impossible to ignore. Our room had a sea view, it was quite small but perfect for one night. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. We would definitely book here again. Thank you 😊

Very friendly staff, beautiful building and common areas. Our room was quite basic, but nicely decorated and good value. It was ideal for our stay - which was to run the Great South Run. Perfectly located opposite the start/finish, with parking included and a great spot to meet friends and crash out with a drink post run.

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
