Nice hotel. Dated in a nice way, displays the history of the property well. Room was updated but basic. Water temperature in the bathroom would fluctuate while showering or using the taps in the sink. Staff was friendly. Breakfast included was prepared well and delicious. Good at the price and just around the corner from the Historic Dockyard entry and the train station, buses as well. Big shopping centre a few blocks away. Got everything.

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.

I stayed for 3 nights while mainly visiting relatives so didnt eat at the hotel or use the facilities. I was in room 210, a corner room so lots of light, a good size double and a large bathroom.

Good location. Friendly Staff. Regular visitor.

Visited for an AGM. Saturday night stay. Excellent as always. If you are going for a romantic stay worth paying a little extra to update to a deluxe room; still very reasonable in price, as not all rooms have been upgraded yet. Near all visitor sights and transport. Swimming pool a bonus.

Overall Decent

Overall a good place to sleep and get some rest. On the 2nd floor there is a very strong musky smell throughout the hallway. Washroom was lacking body wash for showers, but did have shampoo.

We were in the newer section of the building. The room and facilities were excellent. Breakfast was well catered. Would return again and highly recommend for its location to the Historic Dockyard and Gunwharf Quay outlet shopping.

Clean and comfortable

The room was clean and comfortable, although the position of the bed meant that I could clearly hear people using the toilet in the room next door. The toilet in my room made a loud humming noise while the cistern was filling but it only lasted for about 5 minutes each time. It was a good value stay in Portsmouth though

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.
