The Spotlight on The Pier

Charming Heritage Stay Minutes from Portsmouth's Music Scene

The Pier is a historic, elegant guesthouse located in the heart of Portsmouth, just a short stroll from Clarence Pier and Southsea's thriving cultural hub. Set in a Grade II-listed building on Bellevue Terrace, it blends period charm with modern comforts, offering a relaxed and personal atmosphere that’s ideal after a night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel’s location is a major win — you can walk to major venues like South Parade Pier and the Pyramids Centre in under 10 minutes. With free Wi-Fi throughout, you can easily upload your concert pics before crashing into bed. The vibe is quiet and low-key, offering a calm space to unwind after the show. And while check-in starts at 16:30, the friendly staff are happy to help with flexible arrangements when possible.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable, charming base near the action
  • Solo travelers attending a must-see gig
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of it
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to skimp on style

Food and Drink Options

Start your day right with a freshly cooked full English breakfast — ideal for those recovering from a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’re just steps away from Portsmouth’s buzzing café and restaurant scene, where late-night bites and drinks are easy to find.

Nightlife Options

Though The Pier itself is a peaceful retreat, you’re within walking distance of Portsmouth's bars, pubs, and music lounges. Whether you’re in the mood for a quiet pint or an afterparty vibe, you’ll find something to suit nearby at Gunwharf Quays or along the seafront.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, stylish rooms and the hotel’s unbeatable location for exploring Portsmouth’s music and cultural attractions. Reviewers often mention the warm hospitality, fast Wi-Fi, and how easy it is to get to the pier and surrounding venues.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the rooms can be a bit compact, and the pod-style bathrooms — while modern — may feel snug for some. There’s also no lift, so those with heavy luggage or mobility concerns should be aware.

The Bottom Line

A charming, quiet spot within walking distance of Portsmouth’s top concert venues — The Pier is a great choice for music fans who want comfort, character, and convenience.

We don’t like large anonymous...

Liked: We were delighted to have discovered The Pier. We were warmly welcomed by Rahul and his Mother and our room was very comfortable and clean. We were able to park immediately outside and given a parking permit for the duration of our stay. A 15 minute walk to The Spinnaker Tower. Breakfast was excellent and very reasonably priced and there were restaurants nearby which was a bonus after having walked around Portsmouth all day visiting the many attractions. Good advice and friendly conversation with Rahul and his Mum made it a perfect stay. Thank you!
Disliked: We liked everything!
