I was pleasantly surprised at this little gem of a hotel situated very close to Gunwharf Quay and local transport services, the room was exceptionally clean, great shower, very comfortable bed and perfect pillow. At breakfast I had perfectly poached eggs, great bacon and decent sausages, coffee from the pot was very nice. I will defistay here again and at almost half the price of the local chains it represents very good value. Great 👍

Great find! Only a minute from the train and bus stations. Easy check-in. We had a triple room which was very spacious and not at all cramped. Comfortable bed. Nice soft large towels! Well stocked tea tray. Large bathroom with bath and shower. Breakfast included, freshly cooked with help yourself cold selection.

So glad I booked this hotel. Staff very friendly and efficient. Room was lovely and we had a sea view. The bed was very comfortable and the room/bathroom were warm even though the radiators weren't turned on. The hotel wasn't noisy but there were roadworks right outside our room but that was only an issue during the day. Good location with train station across the road plus a shopping centre with an amazing cinema. Breakfast was good and we had a fabulous meal in the restaurant on our last night. We would definitely stay there again. The only small gripe is that there were 3 plug sockets next to the single bed but none by the double.

We stayed for three nights while visiting the Isle of Wight and the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. The hotel is ideally located for both of these, and only five minutes from the railway station. The room was quite spacious and clean. The front desk service was reasonably friendly and the included breakfast was very nice. Service in the bar was a little slow sometimes, as staff were off on other duties. We ate in the restaurant on one occasion and the food was delicious. There are Japanese options on the menu as well as the usual English fare, which gives more variety. Overall the hotel suited our neede perfectly.

The hotel old and cosy, but also warn out. The rooms are ok, beds fine, bathroom good. First night the cleaning was terrible, example cup was clean but undercup was not. Doesn't make sense to me. When checked out I couldn't get a receipt even though in the reservation it is stated that the hotel will provide the receipt. I hope they will send me one. Breakfast I tried once. Full English.... Ok had it differently else where. Overall a stay with downs and a few up's.

We had a great couple of nights in Portsmouth. We chose the Keppel due to its location. We were going to spend most of our time in the Naval Dockyards which was a 5 minute walk. I can comment on lunch or dinner but breakfast was great, one of the best English breakfasts I've had in a hotel for a long time cooked to order. When we come back to Portsmouth the we will hope to stay at the Keppel

staff were friendly and helpful. great restaurant, with sushi! fantastic location for ferry trip early next morning. The only negatives were it was noisy - there was a wedding going on and the music was loud, and the sound of the trains nearby was also v loud; and the carpet was quite stained. But great place to stay before catching the ferry and as the start of our holiday!

This property has many mixed reviews but do not be afraid to stay here. It is in a very convenient location if you are traveling by train, our room was comfortable with good climate control, clean towels and bedding and a clean (if cozy) bathroom. The breakfast was fine and we enjoyed the bar and dinner in the evening. There was a very adequate English menu as well as wonderful Japanese cuisine. We were very impressed with the friendliness of the staff, the good service and the price. It is a very old building, but if you like history you will have a fine stay.

Given a room above kitchen. Fridge motor on and off all night. Kitchen fans under my room on noisily at 6.30 p m. Asked on check in if my room above kitchen, was told only 'it was at the back of the building'. I do not expect luxury suite as single traveller, but room has been a disappointing exsperience. Will not stay here again.

We weren’t fans. As two friends travelling together the size of the ‘double bed’ was quite a shock (it’s quite small). We also gave up on washing hair due to very low water pressure. For us the place just didn’t sit right.

Our twin bedded room was overall average. Wire coming in through the door was hanging off the wall. The carpet had many dirty marks on it. No soap provided in the bathroom wash basin. It overlooked the bus and train stations and neither of us slept a wink on our one night stay because of the noise outside all night long. Room 11. Food was average but all the staff were very pleasant.

We were in Portsmouth to visit the Museum of the Royal Navy. We arrived early and the hotel stored our bags before check-in and also allowed us to store our bags at checkout, no cost. Breakfast was excellent. All staff were helpful and pleasant.

We had a lovely stay. Beds could have been more comfortable. Room was clean and tidy. Bathroom the same. We had someone above us in the night sounded like they were doing exercises. About midnight until 1 oclock. You could here them moving around. Maybe a new floor needed.and also we went out for the day and came back about 9 at night and there was a key in are door that the cleaning staff had left in there. I told the lady on the desk in the morning and she did apologise and said was going to talk to the staff. The breakfast was excellent and plenty of it. A very nice restaurant rooms Hopefully we will stay again maybe on the top floor this time. My wife was on a walking stick and has trouble with stairs. We were on the first floor and after getting the lift we had to climb stairs up to are room. I didnt mention this when booking so it was no fault of the Hotel. But next tolime we will know to ask for the 3rd floor. You could not getter a better place for visiting the dockyard and other attractions. Overall it was a very pleasent stay.

3 friends in a triple room for 2 nights. Perfect location for weekend in Portsmouth. Over the road from Gunwharf Quay shops and restaurants plus Historic dockyard. Flat walk, about 40 mins, to pier and beach. Excellent friendly and helpful staff. Comfy bed with nice bedding and modern shower room with nice towels. Delicious fry up in the morning. Plus great addition of free parking (although not for large cars or nervous drivers!).

I never ever post negative reviews. I just tend to not review bad experiences. But this place had such a high score and I cannot understand why. The single bed was basically a cot. Very uncomfortable. When I changed rooms it wasn’t much better. And third time it was a double but old. I won’t return. Staff was very nice though

The property is a perfect location for visiting the Historic Dockyard, which has much to see and partake of. The street, otherwise, is not the most desirable location, though has plenty public transport and the convenience of a local Co- Op store and a cash-point machine. Although the public areas of the hotel were clean, and the staff kindly and helpful, there was a lack of daily cleaning in the bedroom. Beds were made but nothing else. No sign that the bathrooms had even been entered by the cleaner. Areas in the rooms also looked as if they'd just been neglected for a very long time when it came to cleaning. Having said that, it was the best place on a run down street, and for the convenience of location for visiting the historic dockyard, I would stay again. My advice to them would be to look more closely at their cleaning regime.
