Great place. We were in room 8 which was a big, one bedroom. The place was very clean and they have a great drink and snack bar in this unique hotel. The room was huge and has a great balcony off the bed room. We were there in February so it was really quiet. Lots of great restaurants blocks away. Highly recommend this place.

Lovely stay and very convenient! Make note that several rooms are upstairs which requires going up a tight steep staircase. A little tricky for someone with bad knees and carrying a suitcase.

Walkable, adorable stay
Adorable, centrally located place in Portsmouth. The doors are all key codes, so we got a text saying our room was ready before check in. Our code wasn’t working, so I called and they helped us out right away. Our room was adorable with a comfortable king sized bed. No fridge or anything in the room, but there was a communal fridge downstairs with juice and snacks available. The Sailmaker’s House was centrally located, so didn’t spend a lot of time in the room because we were walking all around Portsmouth. Very walkable!
