Beautiful property with clean, comfortable rooms and a cozy bar downstairs that was perfect for relaxing after a day out. The location was excellent and within easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, the waterfront, and the area’s beautiful historic homes. The breakfast was also outstanding and honestly better than many restaurants we visited during our trip. Would definitely stay here again!

On the recommendation of friends, we booked a stay at the Hotel Portsmouth for a few days of rest and relaxation. We were quite pleased with the location of the hotel relative to points of interest in the city, the friendliness and competence of the staff and the cleanliness of the room. We would recommend this hotel to others looking for a charming boutique hotel in the heart of this quaint seaside New England town!
