Accommodation

Getting the right place to stay can make all the difference to your trip – setting the tone for a romantic getaway, a fun-filled trip or a place the whole crew can enjoy. Thankfully we have a great array of different options for accommodation in Portsmouth, to ensure where you lay your head is just as suited to the kind of trip you want to take as the activities with which you fill your days.

The first port of call for many are the big name hotels. Here you can be sure of all the creature comforts you know and love – as well as some points if they run a loyalty scheme! Don't just stick exclusively to the familiar brands, though. Portsmouth is also home to a number of locally run hotels that bring visitors back year-on-year.

Being a popular seaside resort, Portsmouth is also home to a huge number of guest houses and B&Bs, offering a more personal touch to your stay. Or, how about something that fits between the two? Try out one of the city’s boutique hotels for the best of both worlds.

If you’re travelling with friends or in a large family group – or if you’d prefer to be left very much to your own devices – the city’s self-catering options will be an ideal fit. Find quaint townhouses or central apartments where you can pick up the keys and be left to treat the place like home.

The area is also blessed with a number of quality caravan and holiday parks. Whether you’re towing your own or hiring a static, there’s plenty to choose from in Portsmouth and its surrounds. Or how about super-modern glamping, or more traditional camping? Whether you want to pitch a 2-man tent or luxuriate under the stars (but with home comforts), seek out the camping and glamping options available to you.

If cost is your biggest concern, take a look at our list of budget accommodation providers that won’t break the bank – leaving you with more cash for activities when you get here.

Maybe it’s not the type of accommodation that’s your main concern, but what it can provide your needs. Whether you’re looking for group-friendly hotels, somewhere ideal for business travellers, or places you can stay with your beloved pet, we have just the information.

There’s also a dedicated section for accessible hotels, which lists those establishments that have gone over and above to ensure their premises are welcoming for all.

We continually check our accommodation listings to ensure the information is up to date and all properties included are receiving consistently good reviews. However, we can't guarantee the quality standard so still recommend you double check before booking, so you can get exactly what you expect out of your chosen accommodation provider.
