Excellent, clean, perfectly positioned with fabulous Staff and a wonderful breakfast.
Pros:

The property itself is not new and some areas could do with a quick refresh but overall the rooms and dining room were spotless, exactly as advertised, perfectly situated and the Staff, ably led by Dave, were fabulous.
This was the second time my Wife and I have stayed at the Ship Leopard whilst in Portsmouth, for the annual Squadron Falklands reunion, and, although the room had an unusual configuration whereby a set of stairs needed to be descended around a corner in order to reach the bathroom, the room was exactly as we needed.
One highlight was the breakfast. A good portion size of everything with no skimping which set us up perfectly for the day.
The one thing the property could really do with, particularly during our visit in June and into the Summer months, is some form of adequate air conditioning. The room gets incredibly hot and the only cooling method is a fan and / or opening the windows. Overnight the latter really isn’t an option as city noise will prevent resting fully. That leaves the fan which really only pushes the already hot air around the room.
Otherwise, excellent. 👏👏👏

Cons:

Nothing much at all.

Hôtel tb mais attention aux petites chambres sous toit en été
Pros:

Tres bon emplacement face au port et aux moyens de transport, bus et train. Tout près du front de mer, des Quays, commerces et restaurants du port. Bon petit déjeuner. Accueil aimable.

Cons:

On avait pris une petite chambre dpuble sous toit et même avec un ventilateur il y faisait très chaud en juillet.. Avons pris ensuite carrément la suite et là c'était royal!

Perfect location very comfortable room
Pros:

Amazing location! They kindly upgraded our room so we had a view of the spinnaker tower and The Warrior it was fantastic! Very comfortable bed, nice and clean with modern equip bathroom and very spacious! Furniture had a few dents and knocks but didn’t detract from our enjoyment. We attended a wedding at spinnaker tower so returned late but the night porter let us in no problem. Breakfast was full English and delicious. Plus there were choices of fruit croissants etc and toast jam/ marmalade. The only thing that let the room down was the carpet which was once perhaps purple but had faded into a grey! Staff were all very good tho! And free car park on site limited spaces

Cons:

Carpet let room down as was faded from a purple into grey.. strange!

The perfect panacea after a long day of travel
Pros:

The exceedingly warm welcome. The excellent breakfast. The exceptional check out experience. The view of HMS Victory from my room. The proximity of the hotel to railway station - one minute’s walk away and the Wightlink Ferry Terminal four minutes walk through the railway station and down a slope (no steps) to Ferry Terminal. Excellent!

Cons:

Wardrobe kept bouncing open but that didn’t alter the fact I really loved my stay.
