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.

The hotel features a stylish lounge area where breakfast is served, which adds a nice touch to the overall experience. Still, some basic amenities like a kettle would have been appreciated.

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 room was quite compact and felt almost entirely filled by the bed and wardrobe. It was clean and spotless, but being described as a king room made me curious about how small the compact room would be. Overall, it offered good comfort but lacked a few extras.

This hotel is in a perfect spot, right across from the bus and coach stations and just a short walk to the train station. My room was compact yet clean, and I appreciated the modern decor, but some amenities were lacking, considering the price. The service was courteous, though the dining experience could use some improvement in terms of variety and execution.

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.
