The Spotlight on Royal Maritime Hotel

Historic Charm Meets Concert Convenience in Portsmouth

A stay at the Royal Maritime Hotel blends classic maritime charm with modern comfort, right in the heart of Portsmouth. Just a 5-minute walk to Gunwharf Quays and the Historic Dockyard, this welcoming hotel is a great base for music fans. With on-site entertainment like snooker and darts, and a cozy pub atmosphere, it’s a great place to unwind after a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’ll be thrilled with the prime location—within walking distance to Portsmouth Harbour Rail Station, the bus station, and popular concert venues. No need to worry about late-night transport. The hotel’s central yet tucked-away spot means you’re close to the action but can still enjoy a quiet night’s sleep. With a check-in time of 14:00 and check-out at 11:00, it’s flexible enough for most weekend gig plans.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a social stay with games and pub-style fun
- Solo travelers here to catch a legendary act
- Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
- Fans wanting a quieter spot to recharge after the encore
- Budget-conscious music lovers who value comfort and location

Food and Drink Options

Horatio’s Restaurant serves hearty bistro meals and a full English breakfast—ideal after a late night. You’ll also find hot and cold snacks in the Compass Café. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the walkable location means you’re close to plenty of late-night eateries at Gunwharf Quays.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things low-key, the surrounding area offers plenty of bars, pubs, and lounges just a short walk away. Whether you're grabbing a pre-show drink or staying out for a post-concert nightcap, you’re in the right place.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s spot-on location for both sightseeing and concert-going. The rooms are described as clean and comfortable, and many reviewers appreciate the friendly staff and traditional charm. The games room is a surprise hit with groups.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the rooms could use a little updating, and the free parking is limited, so plan accordingly if you’re driving. But overall, these are minor issues for most.

The Bottom Line

If you want a well-located, comfortable, and social home base for your Portsmouth concert plans, the Royal Maritime Hotel hits all the right notes.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Bransgrove, Essex, visiting Portsmouth Guildhall

The hotel in general was nice and friendly, but when going towards the room I noticed how old fashioned and dated everything looked, like it needed updating from the carpet to the walls. In the room it was clean and tidy but everything was a little dated - it was like going back to the 70's. Personally I prefer a nice crisp clean look in the rooms but this definitely wasn't the case. I think this could be a really lovely hotel as the location is perfect but it needs a good refit. Considering what we paid for the room I was expecting more.

Liked: Clean as can be considering how old everything is.
Disliked: Very old fashioned.

HOT

Disliked: Room 109 was unbearably hot from the moment I arrived and remained that way throughout the night, almost like being in a sauna. I checked out early and skipped breakfast due to a lack of sleep. Outside, the temperature was around 20°C during the day, so it wasn’t particularly hot. Despite this, the staff seemed puzzled as to why the room was so uncomfortably warm.
