Place was cute and clean. A few annoyances. Toilet paper roll kept falling off holder. Needed to be fixed or replaced. Pillows were not very comfortable. No support. Its a little noisy at times with the traffic and people talking on the street where the restaurant is. It was in a good location to the downtown area. Easy to walk to. Right next door to the Library Restaurant which is where we had dinner. Easy to check in and out. Overall good experience . I would recommend this place😊 ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine Sep 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location to walk to everything!

Highly recommend! ##### Theresa Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Oct 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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. ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher Nov 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Truly lovely little boutique hotel. Great rooms and amenities. Perfect location. ##### Christopher Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris Sep 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities I can’t comment on the staff because their check-in just requires you to use your phone number to access the building and your room but the hotel was excellent. The rooms have no outside noise so if you’re a light sleeper, it’s the perfect spot. I got into Portsmouth long before my check-in time so I parked in a nearby garage which ended up costing the same amount that the hotel charges ($40/nt). You’re a block away from all the shops and restaurants and a short walk to Badger’s Island in Maine where you can get drinks and/or a bite to eat and a short walk to the town hall where they had a nice little farmers market Saturday morning ##### Chris Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane Dec 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful stay.

Great location. Walked right into town from there. Loved the lobby and free coffee & snacks offered. Room was comfortable with beautiful bathroom. I would suggest they install a grab bar in each shower because it can be slippery and there is absolutely nothing to hold on to. Someone could easily hurt themselves. I also thought it strange that no staff were on premises after 8pm. We were advised we needed to be back to hotel by then to have our car parked so that might be an issue for some guests ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan Dec 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The on-site restaurant is terrific ##### Susan Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### greg May 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities good location very clean property great staff ##### greg Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise May 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely place in great location ##### Denise Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol Mar 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great spot I loved staying in this hotel.
