An important harbour for centuries, Portsmouth counts with one of the busiest ferry piers in the United Kingdom, has the oldest dry dock still in use in the world. Its Historic Dockyard is home to famous British ships like Lord Nelson's flagship HMS Victory, the Mary Rose and the HMS Warrior.
In the picturesque Old Town you’ll find typical English pubs, coloured houses, and small independent shops. It also has a Fish Market provided by the city’s small fishing fleet. In Old Portsmouth is possible to find smaller hotels, B&B’s and guest houses, some of them not far from the ferry harbour.
The Gunwharf Quays are a modernly renovated shopping area, home to the Spinnaker Tower, while the centre has an ever-growing number of shops. Don’t miss Commercial Road and the Cascades Shopping Centre. Hotels in Portsmouth’s city centre allow you to be close to everything what the city has to offer.
For relaxing moments, Portsdown Hill allows panoramic views over the city and the Isle of Wight. During summer, its sandy beaches are a must.

We only stayed in the dock land area so did not see anything else of Portsmouth, but could have spent much more time here anyway! The historic dockyard with Warrior, Victory, Mary Rose and so much more is a simply superb experience. The Gunwharf Quays is now a shopping and restaurant haven. We ate at the Cozy Club which had excellent food and views across the harbor. We also walked around to the historic Round Tower/Square Tower area which has been restored. The very, very best place to go is the Still and West pub & restaurant on the point there. Amazing food, atmosphere, and ships constantly passing the windows. I would live in this pub! Everything we went to was walking distance, and the train and bus station was opposite our hotel should we have wanted to travel further afield.

My reason for going to Portsmouth was then Dockyard and Naval Museums, easily taking all of my few days exploring. HMS Warrior, HMS Victory, the Submarine visit, the many museums, the bay trip, the only downside was the long lines of people for all these magnificent examples of Britain's former naval power and the opportunity to clamber aboard and around. The whole dockyard area just reeks of history packed into every square foot both on-shore and in the bay.
A fabulous local bus network, superb shopping and many other museums. Along with it's share of pubs and restaurants for all pockets it was difficult to fit as much in as I did in just four days.
The only thing that I would want to avoid the next time is the rain.
The long line of to enter the docks, 45 minutes or an hour or more without any cover does mean you can get washed out if you haven't wrapped up warm and dry.

This city, historical home of Britain's Naval Base houses...
This city, historical home of Britain's Naval Base houses treasures you can't see anywhere else. HMS Victory, the ship Admiral Nelson died in battle is a sight to behold. Excellent audio helps with the tour. The HMS Mary Rose, the 14th century ship on display in an interpretive centre is fascinating. HMS Warrior, the biggest iron hulled warship in the world and other ships available for touring. Boat tours of the harbour or a ferry via the famous hovercraft to Isle of Wight. The D-Day Interpretive Centre and the last remaining craft that landed on the beaches of Normandy there to walk through. A coastal walk that is breathtaking. So, so much to discover and enjoy. We have to go back.

I was only in Portsmouth as I using the Brittany Ferries . Over the last 35 years my son had lived here at some time so I know all the attractions. I did not visit any on this holiday trip.
However the City is well worth a visit to see the Navel History

If you like history Portsmouth is great.
If you like history Portsmouth is great. We did not know about the hovercraft that went to the Isle of Wright which I wish we could of done. Spent only about 3/4 of a day at the Naval museum. Could easily spent 2 days.
Great little hotel right next to Portsmouth Harbour: convenient for rail, Isle of Wight ferry, Gunwharf Quays, and the historic Dockyard.
Good standard of cleanliness throughout, food was good quality and quantity at reasonable price, and the staff were excellent. Knows the market it is catering for and obviously very much a "Navy" establishment.
Travelling for business - even allowed me to park all day following check-out, which they didn't have to but was greatly appreciated. Will be booking to stay again.
Cooked breakfast disappointed as poached eggs were hard and scrambled eggs similar.
Helpful pleasant staff and cleanliness good. Furniture a bit tired in the room.
Sea facing rooms have terrific views and the hotel is less than 5 minutes from the Historic Dockyard and 10 minutes from the huge Quays shopping centre within easy walk where you will find many restaurants and bars. Opposite is the Portsmouth Harbour train station, bus station and ferries so transport is easy.
We were very pleased with the hotel fantastic staff very helpful on check in and out and provided all the information we needed as well as help with the paying of the car park. Room was big bed very comfortable and shower modern and powerful. Easy parkinf available big car park. Would stay here again. Breakfast included high was a bonus.
Easy to find location as I did live in the, now demolished, block of flats that were at the back of the hotel. Over all location is good if you wish to explore Old Portsmouth, The Hard, or nearby Southsea. Bonus was that there is an electric scooter hire right outside that was cheap and easy to use.
The George is a very pleasant stay. Premises are not modern so there are not plush facilities that may be found in other hotels, but it was clean and comfortable. Price was very fair and breakfast was cooked to order and good. Staff friendly and position excellent. Thankyou
The house was absolutely beautiful as well as historical. We loved the space, the comfort, and the proximity to the seafront and Historic Dockyard. Steve was so helpful, accommodating our late arrival and providing us with resources on the history of Portsmouth.
Pretty central and close to Portsmouth Harbour train station. Close to entertainment area Gun Wharf and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, all within a few minutes walk. A small hotel above a pub, with good pub food. Room rate was reasonable for this time of year.
The breakfast was very nice, and the location is perfect for a trip to Gunwharf Quays, and Portsmouth's many attractions, there was parking right next to the hotel, and the views from our room of Spinnaker Tower and one of the old ships in docks was great.
Perfect for a day trip to Portsmouth by car. It was less expensive than the same hotel in the city centre. The room was big and the food was delicious in spite of the few options available because of staff shortages. The parking lot had plenty of spaces.
Great coffee machine, easy Internet access, cheap parking, great location and view to the harbour! The entrance smells great. Make this smell all over the corridor like some hotels. The staff was helpful - the cleaners were also helpful and polite.
The staff were extremely helpful in every aspect, especially TINA who was super efficient and always ready to answer any questions.
The location of the hotel is superb. Close to both the city centre and to the harbour.
Good cheap no frills budget hotel, close to town and all amenities.
5mins walk to the square tower in the heart of old Portsmouth.
Thin walls and noisy doors but overall good on a budget to see Portsmouth and Southsea.
The most important point make me come again is the location. This is not the first or last time for me in this lovely hotel, it’s my only one distinction in Portsmouth. Especially after the great renovation they did.
