Location was best feature
On arrival the receptionist did not know what the Mary Rose (Portsmouth's top attraction) was or where is it.
The desk clerk reserved a taxi for departure which never arrived and he was dismissive with a "not my problem" attitude
We are seniors and my wife is handy capped but we received no help at all to get our bags out to the taxi stand
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.
You have to love the RMC in Portsmouth - an absolutely fab place with brilliant brilliant staff. What more is there to like? Overall a tremendous unpretentious place that does everything well - thank you
Enjoyed my visit to Portsmouth, made nicer by staying at this hotel. Walkable from train station, ferry and not far from designer outlet shopping centre. Room was clean and quiet no noice from other guests, nice bar with friendly staff. Would stay there again if in the area.
Very traditional and comfortable service hotel. Location is good, very close to the railway station and the Historic Dockyards. There was however some noise quite late on from a housing estate at the rear of the property (I sleep with a window open). Next time I'll ask for a room at the front maybe. Room and en suite spotless. Very clean and comfy. Traditional English breakfast was faultless.
