Quite noisy, I was in room I which was at the front of the building on the main road and the window didn’t seem too keep out much of the noise from traffic and passing people. It was also the room which although it had its own toilet and shower, backed in to the shared bathroom for the floor where someone decided to take a shower at 2.30am which was so noisy I could here through my earplugs. Duvet cover had stains on it and room was very worn and tired looking. Thank goodness I was literally just there to sleep!

The hotel is conveniently placed in Old Portsmouth. The receptionist was efficient and pleasant. The hotel itself is on the basic side of basic, but it is clean, the bed is sound and there is a kettle in the room. The shower room was remarkably compact. Note that it is only a hotel - the main ground floor premises are a (separate) pizza parlour, Florio's. The "pub sign" shows Florio's name, not The Duke of Buckingham's.

We have had a wonderful stay at the Duke of Buckingham,stayed in the Buckingham cottage,it was clean and quiet,highly recommend abd we will definitely be staying again

We stayed at the 'cottage' part of the hotel (converted garage at the back of the main building) which was perfectly fine once we found it - we checked in after the reception closed and the directions were not 100% clear. We phoned the night guard who was very helpful. The room was comfortable and clean enough, apart from some random cardboard left in the bin. The shower was not particularly intuitive but perfectly fine once we got it to work. There was a complicated- looking and clearly broken contraption to operate the windows. We managed to close them by hand. Quite happy with the hotel in general, it was fine for a one night stay.

5 mins from Gunwharf and the hot walls. Great centre for Old Portsmouth and ferries

The staff here are absolutely wonderful. The young man on reception was incredibly helpful , professional and courteous. However, the room was much smaller than we expected with barely space to move around and a larger than average person would struggle to use the shower. Tea, coffee, milk etc was plentiful and much appreciated, thank you. Spotlessly clean and centrally located, it was OK for someone for one night but I'm not sure I could stay longer

Stay was ok. Comfy bed and tea and coffee in room. View of top of Spinnaker tower from room . En-suite was tiny. Basin not big enough to fill kettle so had go use the cups. Toilet seat loose and funny smell in there. If you were a larger person you would never have fitted in there. Fairly quiet as tucked away out the back until Monday morning got woken up by very late voices at 5:40 in the morning. Not sure if it was the cleaning staff or other guests.

Good location and fine accommodation for price point.

The room was in a small house called the cottage which was nice with all the facilities we needed. The lady who checked us in was friendly and helpful. The only downside was that we were near the front door, so could hear people coming in out during the evening. It's worth getting there earlier in the day if possibe as it is on street parking with a permit provided at check-in, and there we no spaces left closer than the other end of the street.

Ok Accomodation. Clean and comfortable. Not en suite. One Bathroom for few rooms. The ‘Duke of Buckingham’ name is deceiving. The Pub no longer exists.! It’s a Pizzeria now. Side door to the rooms. So misleading if you thought you’d get a pint/food/breakfast available.

Couldn’t tell you what the hotel was like inside as we were put up in a converted garage or something in a back ally behind the restaurant next door to the hotel it was disgusting we booked a hotel room and got this don’t know how they get away with it health and safety would have a field day there
