The staff were wonderful: they cheerfully accommodated our wish to access our room early. Everyone was kind and helpful. The rooms were spotless, the bed extremely comfortable. The location is perfect: the Thaxter is in the heart of the old port city and you are surrounded by beautiful historic buildings, good restaurants and interesting shops. We will gladly stay there again.

Hotel was clean. Had everything we needed. Great staff and great/clean food. Awesome location. This hotel was very great except the shower. The bathroom was cold and it’s an open door shower so it’s not warm till the end of the shower. Kind of defeats the purpose of having heated floors. I think the shower should have a door and better heat or better insulation for the bathroom window. The room has great heat and a bougie coffee/ tea maker. I would rate a 4 1/2 out of 5!

Had an amazing stay. We took advantage of the close proximity to stores and coffee. We loved Nichinan, which is the restaurant attached and it was absolutely delicious. Will come back and stay in a different room!

This was our first stop of our trip and Portsmouth is such a cute little New England town. Hotel Thaxer was a perfect palce to stay. Right near downtown and very walkable to local shops, resturants, and emtertainment. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was updated and very comfortable. Highly recommend.

Robert • Couple Trip

Super clean and comfortable room. A little tight by US standards, but more than compensated by quality and comfort of bedding and linens. Bathroom was immaculate and featured a lovely heated floor. The staff was authentically attentive and friendly. The onsite restaurant, Nichinan, had superb cocktails; you’ll need to peruse other reviews for clues about the food. The location is excellent- just a few steps away from the super-cute, bustling and varied commercial and entertainment options of downtown Portsmouth. Cheap public parking garages are just a few blocks away, but we recommend the valet parking service, which is worth the premium to avoid trundling suitcases through the busy downtown sidewalks. We will definitely choose the Thaxter again the next time we visit.
