Nice hotel with good location

Nice hotel with spacious room. Good location. Easy walking distance to Naval Dockyard & Gunwharf Quay. Definitely would stay here again & would feel comfortable recommending this hotel.
John, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It's an interesting hotel but tired! Must be an ex naval personnel club or hotel I would guess due to the large collection of naval memorabilia. Nice and decorative inside in an old fashioned way. Convenient for the Historic Dockyard which is only about 10 minutes walk away and was the reason for our trip, and Gunwarf Quays. Good cooked breakfast at a reasonable price. Nice and clean and a comfortable bed. Enjoyable stay but wouldn't stay here again.

Not how I remember 😉

Excellent experience considering it has been 48 years since I was last there! From checking in until I checked out 5 days later, nothing was too much trouble. Very friendly & helpful staff, rooms clean and well appointed, food was lovely. A thoroughly good time was had.

Absolutely amazing hotel, full of history, has a library full of maritime genre books and plenty of comfy areas to sit and relax. Staff were amazing and breakfast was fabulous. Full availability on cooked and continental breakfast. Rooms were lovely and had what we needed. Hotel is within easy walking distance of the dockyard, shopping and transport links. Would recommend easily.

Very comfortable

Very comfortable and in an excellent position for the dockyard and Quays. More of a “club” atmosphere with friendly staff. We particularly appreciated the reserved parking space as I hold a blue badge . Thank you

Perfect location for Gunwharf Quays and Guildhall

We needed a bed for our trip to see a gig at Portsmouth Guildhall. The Royal Maritime was perfect for this and very close to visit the very nice Anson quayside pub, Gunwharf Quays and the Spinnaker Tower next day. It wasn't expensive and perfectly adequate for what we needed.
