What guests say
8.7 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 405 guest reviews
Hammetts Hotel earns strong, near-universal praise for its prime Newport waterfront location and stylish, clean interiors, with friendly and attentive staff adding to the appeal. However, guests consistently flag compact room sizes, a lack of standard in-room amenities (coffee maker, fridge, safe), no included breakfast, and paid parking charges that feel steep — and opaque — at these nightly rates. It is an excellent base for exploring Newport, but expectations around value and room functionality should be set accordingly.
