Hotel guest service was excellent.
Room air conditioning did not work as well as it could.
Location is excellent to catch the bus or train.
Restaurant staff could have advised breakfast was included with hotel stay as the menu had prices on it.

We stayed in a room on the second floor. The room was big but it was so ridiculously hot. We had booked as had searched for aircon which was apparent in picture and mentioned on reviews. The aircon did not work (or worked v v badly.) When we arrived the room temp was 30 degrees. The best temperature the room got despite having it on the whole time was 26 degrees. It was far too hot for us and particularly my grandchild.

The bathroom had no real ventilation, the fan was v much struggling, which meant it was so hot the whole time we were there. We did ask for a second fan (we should have guessed there were issues with the aircon when we had one fan in there.) We received the second but it was dirty and lacking in any kind of power.

We also wouldn't recommend for babies, despite it being a family room there were steps to the hotel and even steps to the lift (which struck me as v odd considering it was a lift.)

The parking was nearby but v tight.

The breakfast staff were v nice and worked incredibly hard. Having to cover the breakfast rush and reception at the same time seems like way too much for any one person. The breakfast was just ok. The beans were wonderful (and I don't usually like beans), the bacon was great, but the mushrooms were v watery.

So all in all, I wouldn't recommend for babies/buggies. I wouldn't recommend in the hot weather. However the room size was good, the view from the room was fabulous and the breakfast staff were great.

The hotel is not inspiring on the outside but is well situated for trains, buses and travel to the Isle of Wight.
It has the feel of a run-down hotel which is in the process of being up-graded by the present owners. My room had comfortable beds and a newly fitted bathroom but the windows could only be opened a small way as they were blocked by a fire escape staircase immediately outside. The air conditioning unit had seen better days but there was also a fan.
Breakfast in the handsome dining room was quite basic with poor quality fruit juices, flavoured yoghurts and jams, etc.

I chose this hotel for its convenience to The Hard bus terminus, the Historic Dockyard and Gun Wharf. It’s a little tatty around the edges but quirky. Our basic room was clean, spacious with comfortable beds. During the hot weather we had air conditioning and two very welcome fans. No hair dryer which was unusual but not a real issue. Will definitely return.

Great location (bus depot across the street, dockyard and Gunwharf easy walking distance). Private parking (though its a game of Jenga to get in and out of it). Better than average bathroom (for English hotels). Dining room nice. A/C was \"under maintenance\" on the hottest day of the year else would give 4 stars.

The staff are the saving grace for this hotel. All more than helpfull. The old hotel itself needs work. Our room (25) small, ageing single beds, two hangers on a hook for a wardrobe. Poor water pressure in the shower that occasionally went off or cold. Toilet bowl not anchored to the floor.The bar, manned by the receptionist, dirty as was the carpet in the dining room. We were the only guests in the dining room for the Sunday“carvery”. A frozen chicken portion thrown in the deep fryer, some vegetables and covered with gravy. Burnt yorkshire pudding inedible.

Appalling

Hotel is in appalling condition. It is king over due a refurbish. On the corridors leading to the rooms there are unlocked electrical cupboards with bare wires and electric meters, this should be a locked cupboard and wires need to be made safe. The mattresses were in appalling condition. We were unable to sleep in the first night due to severe discomfort. After reporting this to reception the mattresses were eventually changed, supposedly to brand new mattresses. They were not new and had just been pulled from a different room. Due to the severity of discomfort we barely slept. The quality of breakfast was almost as bad as the beds! The cooked breakfast was swimming in grease and a small portion with no option to add any additional items. The continental breakfast was only available if you were at breakfast as soon as it opened, they did more refresh the pastries or yoghurts throughout breakfast service. The advertised fresh fruit was week old half rotten apple or mushy banana, neither were suitable for consumption. The coffee and tea facilities were passable. The room was old and in desperate need of a refurbished. The only waving grave was the bathroom which had recently been refurbished and was still of decent quality. The staff throughout the visit were polite and friendly but very slow to respond to and action negative feedback. I will not be staying at this hotel again which is a great shame as it is in and ideal location to visit all the historical naval history sites

The hotel is near the landmarks.

This is a classic pub hotel. The location is quite near the pier and the train station and is just 5 minutes walk to the dockyard museum. The hotel room is spacious and equipped with an air conditioner. But the electric kettle is dirty having some residue at the bottom and I dare not to use it. For the breakfast, you could order only once for the main course while for the cereal, pastry, toast and coffee you could get as much as you like. I did not go to the pub as flies were the main residence of the pub.

Traditional hotel with period features, attractive dining room. We stayed in Victory suite,which was a little in need of refurb/revamp but otherwise spacious. It had a very large bed but the mattress sloped towards both edges,making for an uncomfortable night's sleep. Staff were mostly friendly & helpful. Food in restaurant variable,one really good seabass dish one fish (ok) but with burnt chips. Windows & mirrors in need of some cleaning,especially uvpc frames in our bedroom. No hairdrier..we also reported shower head & screen problems ( water flooding) & need for lighting over bathroom sink. All in all disappointed for price we paid for 'best' room.

The hotel is a little run down. The security locks have been retro fitted and a set int a metal L shaped plate with very sharp corners. Whilst trying to shut the door quietly he caught his arm on the sharp corner and gashed it in 2 places. The girl at reception cleaned and bandaged it and said she would speak to maintenance about it. Nothing was ever done to file down the sharp corners.

The hotel was in a great location - it was basically across the street from the Royal Navy museum and ships, the bus and train station, and Gunwharf Quays. We had a nice breakfast in the morning and the bar had a cozy seating area. The negatives were a terrible mattress on the bed in room 19, which was up or down stairs from a floor that the lift went to, so not great when you are dragging large suitcases. Third negative was that internet only connected on the ground floor, not in the room. I still rated this hotel as good, because I hope we just had a bad room location for internet and one bad mattress that can be replaced.

Excellent location - walked out the train station and within 2 mins walk you’re at the front door, 5 mins dockyard! BUT - it’s an older building, even though it had an elevator you still need to walk down / up 2 flights, which made it hard for my luggage. My single room was like a pantry, clean enough for overnight but the bed was too soft ( I weigh 115 lbs) and make it hard to sleep. The ventilation system was noisy all night, At 6 am I can smell the bacons fried up from downstairs ( kitchen). The restaurant was pretty good with a full Japanese menu. The hotel served my overnight purpose but not an ideal choice for vacation.

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.

This hotel is superbly located for a visit to the Naval Yard where the HMS Victory and Mary Rose are located. Further it is literally across the street from the Portsmouth Harbor train station and the Gunwharf Quay shopping center. Apart from the hotel’s location, there are some other positives. The included breakfast is good, and the hotel is clean, even though it is much shabbier than it appears in photographs. WIFI reception is spotty and often non-existent; we did not accept the excuse that the building was old. There was an insufficiency of electrical outlets in our room, along with simple items such as shelves or places to hang things in the room or bathroom. Unless you require the use of a handicap accessible bathroom, do not accept one. The sink is so low as to be almost unusable; it was, in general, unusably laid out.

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.

Fabric needs updating but the whole experience was very good. The staff were really friendly and helpful, sushi menu excellent and the sights we were there to see were just outside. The available shopping, bars and restaurants were excellent. We will be going back. Thank you.

Old and cosy hotel in Portsmouth

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.

The food was good, property & room was clean.
But, there was no water to shower or flush the toilet in the morning. When we told the desk clerk we were told sorry but its an old building. Not a helpful response

Lovely room, nice to have a view of the port & Spinnaker Tower but the stay was made by the friendliness of the staff who were informative and helpful.

Would happily stay here again on future visits to Portsmouth.

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
