The Queens Hotel, with its beautiful building and stunning entrance, often impresses guests with its traditional style. Many appreciate the spacious rooms, sometimes upgraded, and comfortable beds. While a few guests have noted that the bathrooms can be a bit small with limited storage, the hotel's location near the beach and promenade is generally considered a great perk, with convenient access to attractions such as the Portsmouth Naval Museum.

solid stay

I found the staff friendly and helpful throughout my visit. the location was ideal with many attractions nearby, easy to reach. parking was convenient, right outside the hotel. It made coming and going simple, which i appreciated after long days.
The breakfast coffee needed attention. It tasted weak and the system for refills seemed inefficient. i often had to wait to get someone's attention for more coffee. this impacted my morning routine a bit, which i hope the hotel can address.

Acceptable Stay with a Significant Issue

The bar was excellent at this facility.
The room was in need of refurbishment and it showed clearly. The bed felt lumpy and was very uncomfortable. Noise from antiquated radiators and other loud rumbling noises further detracted from the experience.
