We had a great couple of nights in Portsmouth. We chose the Keppel due to its location. We were going to spend most of our time in the Naval Dockyards which was a 5 minute walk. I can comment on lunch or dinner but breakfast was great, one of the best English breakfasts I've had in a hotel for a long time cooked to order. When we come back to Portsmouth the we will hope to stay at the Keppel

Very comfortable room with very large bathroom. Not much storage for two women for nearly a week but we managed. Bar area was dark and not very inviting, but all hotel was kept very clean. Excellent location for Gunwharf Quays, Dockyard and all transport links. Overall a good stay

staff were friendly and helpful. great restaurant, with sushi! fantastic location for ferry trip early next morning. The only negatives were it was noisy - there was a wedding going on and the music was loud, and the sound of the trains nearby was also v loud; and the carpet was quite stained. But great place to stay before catching the ferry and as the start of our holiday!
