Royal Maritime Hotel

Room is cosy and bigger than normal room size. Convenience location which near the Guay Wharf and University of Portsmouth. There has many store and convenient shop near hotel.

We had an enjoyable 3 night stay at the Royal Maritime. Very near, 5 minutes walk, from the Historic Dockyard with the waterfront and Spinnaker Tower little more. There is free parking for about 20 cars on the forecourt. We secured a spot. The streets around the hotel have low traffic volumes, so it proved to be a quiet stay although so near Portsmouth’s main tourist attractions. It’s an older hotel with plenty of character. Airy reception, entrance, bar and dining room were very well kept and impressively characterful with the wood panelling. Our room was well appointed and modern. As was the bathroom. Both were scrupulously clean. (and unlike Premier Inn, serviced every day) We found the staff at reception and in the Dining room helpful, friendly and happy to chat. We used the hotel for evening meals on each day and it was pleasing to see something a little more imaginative on the menu than the dozen generic items usually presented in the average hotel. Deserts in particular showed a refreshing ambition to break from the usual. Quality was good and well presented. All items we tried were good value for quality and portion size. Breakfast was buffet service and had a wide and varied selection of hot and cold items. I would definitely use this hotel again when visiting Portsmouth

Lovely spacious family room. Very inviting and clean. Hotel staff very welcoming and assisted with parking. Super breakfast

I'm not happy that I have to write this, but if I'm going to be lied to, then I need to say something. I booked a 2 night stay for work. Whilst at work, a day was cut short, so I only needed to stay for one night. I made contact with the company who I booked the hotel with who assisted me well. I contacted the hotel, who said they will deal with my request to cancel 1 nights stay. When I checked in, I spoke to the receptionist to confirm that I wanted the next day cancelled. I was told this would be dealt with, but it would need to be done in the morning. In the morning while checking out, I spoke to a different receptionist who didn't seem to know anything about my situation, but put notes on the system. Fast forward a few weeks with plenty of back and forth from my hotel provider to the hotel and they emailed me the news. The hotel manager won't be honouring their word to refund me for one nights stay. All I can say is, I hope the £61 you've kept from me has served you well. If I had stayed in a well known hotel brand as I normally do and I wouldn't of had a problem. But me be a sole trader trying to give to a less recognised business has given me a sour taste now.
