Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Lady Hamilton Inn enjoys an excellent location, directly opposite the bus station, Portsmouth Harbour train station, and the ferry to the Isle of Wight, with Gunwharf Quays shopping centre also nearby. Many guests appreciate the views of the Spinnaker Tower and boats from the rooms. Breakfast, including a full English option with pastries, cereal, and toast, is served at the Keppel's Head Hotel just a few doors down; some guests have found checking in at a separate hotel slightly inconvenient. The family ensuite rooms are clean and spacious.
