jettman Posted May 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hi fellow travelers - we have decided to leave London early and spend an evening in Portsmouth UK prior to sailing on Silver Explorer. Does anyone have a recommendation for a boutique hotel and things to do in Portsmouth? Thanks! Jettman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayflower1 Posted May 12, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Good Morning Jettman - Portsmouth is a fascinating City with immense Naval History and provides the opportunity to visit Nelsons Flagship, The Victory as well as the Henry V111 Warship Mary Rose. However in my knowledge Portsmouth has no decent Hotels whatsoever - it has a Marriott but its not up to much. If you have a Car I would suggest staying in say Southampton ( The Terravina Hotel is excellent ) which is only 30 minutes drive. If not I can only echo Duct Tapes thoughts and trawl TripAdvisor. I wish you a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patnlcc Posted May 12, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 12, 2014 If you're only staying one night, then I would suggest a Premier Inn. They are a UK budget chain, very well priced, no frills but you do get a very clean room with a spotless bathroom. Good locations. I wouldn't have dinner there though. Am sure Portsmouth has its share of nice restaurants. You could be right in the centre of town and able to walk to the harbour etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patnlcc Posted May 12, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I should also have said, I'd book sooner rather than later. Local hotels get booked up quickly on the night before a cruise as I'm sure you are aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
