I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which is actually a charming former pub. Its location is unbeatable, just a stone's throw from Portsmouth Harbour, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. The room was clean and well-decorated, but a bit compact for my liking. Breakfast service was quick, although the options were somewhat limited. Overall, it's a great find in a fantastic location, perfect for my stopover.

I recently stayed at this charming hotel located right across from Portsmouth Harbour station, which made it perfect for exploring the area. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, but I did find the room quite small and lacking some amenities, especially considering the price of £145 per night. My overall experience was positive, but I expected a bit more for what I paid.

The Ship Leopard is a charming place that has transformed from a pub to a lovely hotel and eatery. While my lunch experience wasn't what I hoped, the friendly staff made up for it. The hotel serves afternoon tea and is situated conveniently close to the historic dockyards, making it a great spot for visitors. However, the price for a night seemed steep, and there were some cleanliness issues in my room.
