I particularly liked the ambience of the hotel, with elements of naval memorabilia and history. The quiet bedroom and ensuite bathroom were spacious, with plenty of refreshment facilities, which were topped up daily, as were the toiletries. The staff were all pleasant and efficient and I was pleased to be able to leave my luggage in a locked storeroom, on the day of my departure. The hotel is ideally located for a visit to the Historic Naval Dockyard, the Spinnaker Tower, the Gunwharf Quays shopping centre, many bars and restaurants and the Gosport ferry,

During my visit, I tried hard to find anything that could be improved - and couldn't...there was a lot of attention to detail, to make the stay as pleasant as possible. If I had to be really picky, I would say that the breakfast was good and absolutely acceptable - but perhaps not as outstanding as I was expecting, given the nature of this interesting hotel! Also, there is very limited on-site parking, which cannot be booked, although this was clearly indicated before the visit and concessions are available through the hotel for public car parking.

Parking is limited but we were lucky as we grabbed the last spot. Reception staff were pleasant enough, a bit clinical but pleasant. The entrance hall is very nice and we loved the nautical theme that runs through the hotel, the bedroom was clean, well equipped and comfortable. The location couldn't be better as it's a 4 minute walk to the historic dockyard and spinnaker with a brilliant shopping centre and endless restaurants. The areas population is mainly students and naval bases which gives a pleasant atmosphere when out walking making for a brilliant day out. The hotel in a nutshell is fantastic value for money in a fantastic location plus the buffet breakfast is great!

Nothing, it was really well priced and com

Breakfast at the hotel was really good value for money. Most buffet style breakfasts that we encounter are sadly only luke warm. Our breakfast at the Royal Maritime was nice and hot, whatever they do to keep things warm is clearly working well. Great location for the Historic Dockyard and Gunnwharf Quays. Great little pool in the hotel.

Compared to our daughter's room our other 2 rooms were a little tired and in need of update, however, still satisfactory and good value for money. Horatio's restaurant in the evening was too cold to sit in and have dinner, although this was fine the next morning for breakfast. We decided to eat in the bar area which was fine. Sadly we didn't know that had we booked direct we would have received 10% discount because we are military veterans.

Excellent breakfast, with plenty of choice, good sized room, well located. Fantastic size TV for room size. A hotel that serves black pudding at breakfast hurrah! Good standard of cleanliness, great complimentary choice of hot chocolate tea and coffee. Great size bathroom, and clean. Great to also have a hotel with a swimming pool and we made good use of it during our stay. Pool did get a tad cold at one point, but did warm back up again. Pool was very clean as expected with also clean changing rooms. Staff were all Excellent and we would all happily stay here again in a heartbeat ! Thank you for a wonderful stay and helped make our holiday. We look forward to staying again in the future. Beds were very comfortable and helped to have a good nights sleep. Highly recommended hotel to use/ stay at when in Portsmouth.

Had to have windows open due to it being a very warm room, there was however a humming, air conditioning noise on and off throughout the night, did make it a little difficult to go off to sleep and did wake us a couple of times through out the night. Room Was very warm could do with either a fan or air conditioning being fitted to rooms. Not supplied with much toilet paper, had to borrow a roll From another room. Could hear while in bed the room next door flushing toilet and washing hands in the early hours of the morning while sleeping/ trying to sleep and that disturbing our sleep. But did eventually get back to sleep again.

Hotel location perfect for our key destination areas, namely the Historic Docks, Gunnwharf Quays and Spinnaker Tower. we also went to the D Day museum and Arundel Castle. every venue was superb. The hotel itself was very good. Easy access to rooms, very good restaurant for breakfasts and Dinners. Bar food available also. Brilliant staff. Across the entire hotel every member of staff we met was very polite, dutiful, knowledgeable, and well dressed. Congratulations to you all, a brilliant team. Needless to say we enjoyed a wonderful 5 days in Pompey, and we will be back.. Thank you Royal Maritime Hotel.

Just maybe some bedrooms could do with a make over?

Location was great, as we were here to visit the Historic Dockyard which is just down the road. Rooms were clean and comfortable, in fact they looked recently refurbished as they felt more contemporary and new. Staff were friendly at Reception, the bar and in the restaurant.

It was one of the heatwave weekends and was rather hot so not having any air-con was a shame but at least there were fans available as they were well used! We ate a light breakfast in the restaurant both mornings and on one of them they had run out of a couple of items yet there was still half an hour of breakfast service to go.

Very efficient staff. Lovely breakfast. The best hotel scrambled eggs ever!!! Quiet room at the side. Problem with the mattress which was sorted immediately. Brilliant location. Didn't use the car at all and a free parking space as well.

Room very clean but tired. Appreciate the hotel is upgrading the rooms so no complaints. A fridge would have been nice but at least no noise from it. Shower was temperamental but worked eventually. Room ideal for 2 nights though.

The Royal Maritime is the perfect compliment to a visit to Portsmouth Navy Yard. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this hotel. Full English breakfast, large library of naval/military volumes, pool, guest laundry, game room, bar and competent and helpful staff. Our room was upgraded to a nicely furnished, large one, with a comfortable bed and nicely sized bath. The room and hotel are clean, refurbished and yet still manages a charm owing to its one time use primarily by military families. It's a short walk to the Navy Yard, Mary Rose, bus, train and ferry connections. One suggestion: ask for the room upgrade.

Nothing

My room was very comfortable. It had two windows. Through one was an excellent view of the Spinnaker Tower, which looked fabulous lit up at night. Through the other, was a view of HMS Warrior. There was a wide choice of food at breakfast, and dinner was excellent value for money, and of a high quality. All staff were very, very friendly and polite. the hotel could not have been better placed for visiting the Historic Boat Yard, Gunwharf Quay and Old Portsmouth. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Nothing

Early check in , friendly staff, parking easy. Appreciated fan in room,as no air con.comfotable bed, nice roomy bathroom. Location wise perfect for the dockyards,the Quays shopping and eateries, and the Spinnaker. I will come back here, it's quirky, historical and has a really pleasant old fashioned ambience to it.

Very little! Tiny bath towels,no conditioner . Would have appreciated mini fridge, and water bottles in room especially whilst so hot.
