The Spotlight on The Alverbank Hotel

Charming Coastal Escape with Easy Access to Portsmouth Gigs

Modern comfort meets seaside tradition at The Alverbank Hotel, a relaxed and inviting spot in Gosport. Set just a short drive from Portsmouth's major music venues, this hotel offers a peaceful garden setting, cozy rooms, and a classic pub-style restaurant and bar. Whether you're catching a show in the city or looking to unwind by the sea, it's a great base for your concert getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans love the quiet location after a night out, with the buzz of Portsmouth only 30 minutes away by car. The on-site parking is free, which makes late-night returns easy. The check-in time of 15:00 is ideal for getting settled before a show, and the peaceful terrace and garden offer a chill space to recover the next morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a laid-back beachy base
  • Solo travelers heading to a dream concert in Portsmouth
  • Couples making a weekend of music and seaside walks
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space away from the city
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel has an on-site restaurant and bar serving hearty meals and drinks, perfect for a pre-show dinner or nightcap. While there's no 24/7 room service, the team is friendly and flexible. A continental breakfast is available to ease into the morning after a late night. There are also additional eateries within a short drive toward the city.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is more about tranquility than nightlife, Portsmouth’s vibrant bars, pubs, and live music spots are just a ride away. After the show, return to the calm of the coast or enjoy a relaxed drink at the hotel bar with views of the garden and terrace.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff and seaside charm of the hotel. Reviews often mention the peaceful setting, clean rooms, and the convenience of free parking. Many travelers highlight how great it is to have a quiet place to return to after a busy night out.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the hotel has a more traditional vibe rather than sleek modern decor. Also, it’s a bit of a drive to central Portsmouth, so plan ahead for taxis or transport if you're going out late.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a show in Portsmouth but want a restful retreat by the sea, The Alverbank Hotel is a charming and wallet-friendly choice.

Lovely hotel with beautiful views

Liked: The property and the views were beautiful and the staff were absolutely lovely, offering to go above and beyond for us! We missed dinner service but they were very apologetic and lunch food was delicious.
Disliked: The shower was difficult to get to the right temperature, it was jumping from too hot to too cold and vice versa.
