The Hotel Portsmouth - Downtown

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The property itself was beautiful, with cozy and inviting common areas that made it easy to relax! My partner and I spent one evening by the fireplace, which was a real highlight. The staff were exceptional throughout my visit: warm, attentive, and always ready to help. The location couldn’t have been better—very central and perfect for exploring the area. Breakfast was another standout, with fresh products and a great selection of healthy options. Everything felt thoughtfully curated to create a relaxing and comfortable experience.

Well maintained, converted Victorian private home with addition. Furnishings eclectic and comfortable. Beds comfortable for us, though our friends found theirs soft. Good continental breakfast. Walking distance from restaurants and shops. Parking in back of hotel which is a bonus in Portsmouth. We were there in March so the sitting room with fireplace was very pleasant. We were only there 2 nights but it would be good for a longer stay as the breakfast room has microwave, small fridge, dishes etc available so that you could eat your own simple meals there. Cozy bar area (limited wine/beer/Cocktails for purchase) with pool table on lower level.

Hotel was beautifully but busily decorated in an Americana 1776 style with lots of variations on red, white and blue. People who prefer simple and modern might be put off. Location was ideal for walking around old Portsmouth to historic sites, restaurants and bars. Free parking out back was a great bonus in a busy town. Breakfast was great, lots of options, nicely presented and generous. Espresso and cappucino freshly made!! Friendly helpful staff.

We loved the location which was walkable for the whole of Portsmouth. Loved the quirky old hotel which was decorated beautifully. Great free parking. Breakfast was really nice with tasty options and it was lovely to have sparkling water available all day.

Breakfast was very good and served in a cozy room. Loved relaxing in the front room with a little trivia game after dinner. Loved the eclectic decor and the historic home. It was an easy stroll to dinner in the main downtown. Staff was very friendly. Appreciated the free and convenient parking! The room was very nice and the bed and linens were comfortable. Overall it was fantastic.
