Second time I have stayed at TSL. Very handy location, practical boutique hotel and really welcoming, helpful staff. Just all works very well.
If I had a thought on what else to add, it would be a workspace, a chair in the bedroom, but there might be in a larger room. No complaints though.
Would be very happy to stay at TSL again when in Portsmouth.

My husband and I stayed at The Ship Leopard Boutique Hotel for two nights. It was absolutely wonderful. We had a King Suite which was just beautiful...but we also caught a glimpse of room 15...presumably a Superior King Suite. That's where we want to stay next time...there WILL be a next time. From parking in Wickham Street car park (£5 a night with 'pass' from hotel) to checking in, to breakfast, to everything...it was spot on. Each room is clearly unique. Internally, the hotel is very quiet. Apart from the odd squeaky floor board from above (to be expected in a Georgian house), the first night was so quiet we expected to be two of a few guests for breakfast on Saturday...so we were quite shocked when it became apparent at breakfast just how many people were staying... we were right by the lift/stairs but no internal noise. Bit noisy outside overnight BUT we had windows open and it is a city/popular area! Staff were SO lovely and obliging. Special mention of Yasmin who was just FAB. Saturday morning at breakfast, she was run off her feet but so professional, calm and friendly...and always smiling. (More staff needed on busy weekend mornings???!!!!) Breakfast was delicious - freshly cooked to order. Set us up for the day. Great location...30 seconds one way to Gunwharf Quays and the Spinnaker Tower and 30 seconds the other way for the Historic Dockyard.
Highly recommend and intend to return...
Thank you to ALL those who made our stay so WONDERFUL.

Staff welcoming, security features - key needed to operate lift and front door locked at night - very welcome in this part of town. Single room is more stylish than functioning with broken blind and shower needing attention (of which the receptionist took note) - however surely housekeeping staff will have been aware of those items?
You don't get much for your money at this location - noting the very late check-in available and 24-hour presence, I think the price is in keeping with the competition.
Don't stay here if listed building windows and nearness to lots of traffic and people noise is a problem - go for the much more expensive and bland "Express" hotel up the road.

The rooms in the Ship Leopard Boutique Hotel are very comfortable. We had a room on the 3rd floor that looked out onto the pier. The street was quite noisy at times during the night but we enjoyed the busy atmosphere and slept well despite the noise. Rooms were very clean and serviced daily. Breakfast included a small selection of continental and cooked foods. Sometimes the breakfast room seemed disorganised. Tables not set.
The only thing that annoyed us was that our booking through Expedia included free parking and it was not free at all. The car was parked in a nearby Carpark we were charged 5 pounds daily. The hotel is well situated to access areas of interest.

The Ship's Leopard hotel is in a fantastic position being a 'stone throw' away from the entrance to the Royal Navy Dockyard and only a few minutes walk to Gunwharf with all it's bar's restaurants, shops and the Spinnaker tower. As these were all things we wanted to visit it was perfect. Parking is very close and once parked the car stayed put. The staff are very friendly, breakfast was good and the room was clean, fresh and well decorated. The only down side is the lack of air conditioning necessitating an open window and for light sleepers the traffic/bus noise on the busy roadway means a very early wake up call around 5am. Our very good summer has probably emphasized this more than it might otherwise do.

My wife and I had just finished a weeks holiday on the Isle of Wight and we wanted to continue the holiday by seeing the sights of Portsmouth. We chose this hotel for two main reasons. Firstly, it is a small hotel with high standards and secondly, its position, being very close to all the major attractions and harbour.
We were not disappointed. We were greeted with a welcoming smile even though the weather was atrocious and given complimentary hot drinks to warm us up. The room was large with wonderful views of the port from the spinnaker to the maritime museum. The bed was huge and facilities as described. With the windows open, we could hear the trains and ferries but they disappeared when closed.
We stayed for two nights and had no issues at all. Breakfast was simple but ample. Remember that this is a small intimate hotel so quietness and friendliness and that is what we received.
Would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants comfort and service but not large hotel issues.

On the minus side the windows were filthy and desperately in need of cleaning. The curtains did not draw properly and I had to use a peg to hold them closed to keep out the light from the constant stream of buses. The hotel is in need of air-conditioning as I am sure you already know. In the bathroom there was no where to put toiletries and no where to plug in my electric toothbrush so that it could charge. No the two pin socket at the side of the mirror does not work because it is too high up.

This delightful hotel I ideally located a few minutes walk from the railway station and the historic dockyard complex and only a short walk from the gun wharf retail and restaurant and bar precinct. Stunning views out over the water from a fairly spacious and comfortable and sun drenched room with a small but perfectly adequate ensuite bathroom. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Would definitely stay again.

We have stayed at The Ship Leopard a few times now after visiting our son in the Royal Navy.
We have stayed in a variety of rooms and always found the accommodation excellent and the members of staff very helpful.
The breakfast (bacon & Lincolnshire Sausage) is exceptional and tasty.
The overall position of the hotel facing The Hard is brilliant and central for everything.
We look forward to our return trips and shall be coming back in the near future.

Hello,
Very enjoyable stay in Portsmouth.The hotel was good. The staff excellent, helpful and polite. The room was clean and well presented. HOWEVER as with most hotels that boast that little more..attention to detail gets lost with time and lets them down.
I don't think the shower has been serviced since it opened. The overhead shower head was blocked with lime scale and a hot dribble was the most that could be achieved.
The reviews and website boast a fabulous breakfast.?? Good on the Saturday with good variety of choices....but Sundays always seem to be a let down. Saturdays choice of pastries seemed to have disappeared with "oh sorry we ran out yesterday" a familiar line, and the Full English was far less than fabulous with no mustard, because they ran out, and plastic sauce sachets on the side is what I would expect from the Little Chef....not a fabulous rated boutique hotel.
Lastly, many people today either are intolerant or simply choose not to have caffeine, which in my case rendered the providing of tea and coffee making facilities pointless. I did look for a member of housekeeping to ask but there seemed to be none.
As I said...lack of attention to detail lets one down....especially when so highly rated by oneself...oh well.!!!

The location was what originally drew us to The Ship Leopard, it was easy walking distance to everything that we planned on seeing. Our room had a nice view of the water and HMS Warrior. I was initially concerned because that meant we also faced a bus depot and the train station, but even with the window open there was very little noise. The room was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The bath and shower were both very nice and the bed was firm and extremely comfortable. My highest praise is reserved for the staff: friendly helpful and attentive, they make The Ship Leopard the perfect choice for a stay in Portsmouth. We will be visiting Portsmouth again in the future and The Ship Leopard will be our first choice for accommodations. We both would highly recommend without reservation.

Good place to stay in Portsmouth. Compact room is a bit small and no wardrobe, but we only stayed 1 night so no issues with that. The room was also a bit warm for november and had to keep the window open for the night. Room and bed is comfortable and I do like the decoration and the style of the hotel.
The staff is really friendly and the English breakfast was great! Overall happy and I would stay there again if I have the chance.

We happened to come across this hotel whilst looking online. We were really looking for somewhere near to Gunwharf Quays that we could rest our heads. The location was excellent for this and the view out on to HMS Victory and the harbour was a bonus. The room inside the hotel was very good with the breakfast a real bonus. We wold definately come back and stay again. The only thing to improve upon was the fact that having paid to park the car in a nearby car park we were presented with a discount ticket for a different car park. This was a shame as there was no obvious detail about this on the booking confirmation and would have saved a little bit of money. All in all a very good place to stay though

What a find. Located just across from the dockyard and 5 min walk from the gunwarf shopping centre.
First the hotel, when I was looking for a hotel, we wanted something different than the normal hotel stay. We arrived early but the receptionist directed is to the car park, which was discounted.
Next the room, 1st floor overlooking the sea, but also the bus interchange. My first thought this could be a bit noisey, however this was not the case. As the room was higher than the buses, it was quite, even the window open.
The room itself was extremely comfortable with what you would expect to find in a room of this quality. The bathroom was very clean and had a bidet, which some 5 star hotels do not have. No bath, but the shower was a welcome especially after a day visiting the sites. The room was clean and presented to a high standard. Nice touch was the coffee machine and the mirrored furniture was in keeping with the rest of the hotel
The reception is located in the bar, and the is clean and decorated with number of objects which were highly amusing.
The hotel also had lift which was acceptiated especially when arriving and leaving.
Breakfast was good, with a wide range of options even for the fussy eater.
The staff were present, friendly and welcoming, and nothing was too much of a problem
Would we come back again, most differently, a small gem of a hotel that should not be overlooked.

My partner and I were travelling to Portsmouth for his birthday (and Easter) as the area is special to both of us – he was born there and it's where I went to university. Having read some of the reviews for The Ship Leopard I booked for us to spend the night in Room 15, and I'm so glad I did!
The hotel is without doubt the best place to stay in Portsmouth. From the excellent location positioned opposite Gunwharf Quays packed with its bars, restaurants and shops, to the attentive and friendly staff, and let's not forget the well-equipped stunning rooms which rival that of any boutique hotel I've visited previously.
Our room was enormous with a comfortable super king size bed, flatscreen on the wall, large sash windows with great views, and beautiful decor. The bathroom approached through arched doors was the real highlight with a large feature freestanding bath, dual sinks and an incredible walk-in power shower. Breakfast in the morning was excellent with plenty of choice and the discounted parking is really handy too.
Our stay was such a joy we immediately booked to stay an extra night! We both thank the staff for such excellent service and will definitely be booking to stay here on our next visit. Highly recommended!

Booked this hotel purely on its Trip Advisor reviews and so glad we did as it became the venue for our engagement. Would like to take the opportunity to thank John the Night Manager once again for his wit and charm which kept us entertained until the small hours.
The Ship Leopard is ideally located if you want to be near Portsmouth Historical Dockyard, Gunwarf Keys shops and bars. We booked room 34 which has fantastic views of HMS Warrior and the Spinnaker Tower. The room was modern and spotlessly clean with a very comfortable king bed and the shower-room was clean and functional.
A wonderful selection of breakfast is provided, from continental choice to a full English breakfast. The staff were polite and could not be faulted.
Parking is in a multi storey car park just behind hotel which is secure overnight and charges £5 for 24 hours (with a coupon you collect from hotel reception).
We very much recommend a stay here, so much better than a chain hotel! A really wonderful hotel in a fantastic location!
We will definitely return!

We really thought this place was extremely nice and we stayed in 11 different places on our 3 week trip to the UK, so do have some comparison points. First let me say the staff here is great! Everyone was helpful and pleasant, especially Neil (I hope I have his name right). The place is decorated beautifully. This is reflected in the lobby/cafe and in the rooms. It goes without saying that it was neat and clean. I wouldn't give a good review to any hotel that was not. The location was was excellent-right by the maritime sights we wanted to see with the Gunwharf Quays shopping area also near with plenty of restaurants to chose from. Our room was very nice with enough room to make us feel comfortable when we needed a little relaxing time during our travels. (We had other rooms that you just couldn't feel comfortable in because they were too small.)
I do have one minor complaint. The bathroom in our room (#11) needed more shelfs! There was no place to put your shampoo and soap in the shower and no place to put toothpaste, cosmetics, brush etc. near the sink. That small addition would improve the room so much.
All in all we liked this place very much and would stay again. I would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the shelving problem.

Very nice food, stylish decor & great location, but air conditioning and a fridge in the room would have made our stay more comfortable.

We were very impressed with the view of HMS Warrior from our first floor room. Unfortunately the location also meant we were kept awake most of the night by noisy and rowdy groups who frequent The Hard on a Saturday night. The window only opened a few inches (for security, I suppose) and I would have closed it if there had been a fan in the room.
The room was exceedingly clean, but a previous guest had left a dirty shirt in the wardrobe. I would also have liked to have some hooks on the back of the bathroom door to hang a robe or towel. And either a longer cord on the hair dryer, or an outlet closer to one of the mirrors in the room.
The pod coffee machine was a welcome extra, but the only choice was cappuccino that tasted like it had artificial sweetener in the milk pod. Breakfast was lovely, and we could chose anything from the menu as it was included in our room rate.
Overall, this was a great, new hotel and we would probably stay again, but in a different room.

Dear Mrs Hawkins
Thank you for your kind comments regarding your stay at our hotel. I am sorry that you were disturbed by some rowdy passers by, but due to our close proximity to the local attractions and the pubs and eateries on The Hard and Gunwharf Quays, the area does attract a large footfall in the evenings.I have reprimanded our cleaners for leaving another customers laundry in the room and sincerely apologise for it. i have also taken on board your comments regarding robe /towel hooks and these have now been fitted to all of the rooms. I will also ask our electricians if they are able to fit longer cords to the hairdryer. We do have other choices available for the coffee machine, which we will make sure are available to you if you should choose to stay with us again but have found that most customers prefer the cappuccino. Unfortunately the milk pods are the ones that are supplied to fit the machine. However if you request a coffee from our cafe we will bring it to your room. Rooms 21 and 31 are very nice rooms at the rear of the building and would be quieter rooms on a weekend but do not have sea views. If i can be of any further assistance to you then please do not hesitate to contact me. Kind regards, Christopher Briar. ( Director )
