“Housed in a beautifully maintained Victorian mansion in historic Haymarket Square, this hotel impressed me with its blend of charm and modern convenience, from the free parking to the iPads in every room. The location is superb, a short walk to Market Square, and I particularly appreciate the 24-hour service and attention to detail. It's a comfortable and well-situated base for exploring Portsmouth.”
