Harborside Inn
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Harborside Inn is worth booking if you want to walk everywhere in Newport and pay well under the city median for a 9.2-rated stay. Light sleepers should think twice, because guests report noise through thin ceilings and walls.

This is a good fit for couples and families who want to leave the car and explore Newport on foot. The property lists family rooms, and guests describe a central waterfront setting with shops, restaurants and the harbor within walking distance.
Skip it if quiet nights matter more than location. The one recurring complaint is soundproofing: guests mention thin ceilings and walls, footsteps from the room above and noise from a neighbouring bar.
It is a 3-star inn, so expect a smaller, simpler property rather than a full-service resort. Room sizes and the condition of the rooms have not been assessed.
Location and getting around
The address is Christie's Landing, on the waterfront. The location score is 9.7, the highest single number in this hotel's data, and it matches what guests say about walking to the harbor and the shops.
Three sights are close on foot, based on straight-line estimates: Newport Tower (Rhode Island) is about 0.5 km away, roughly 6 minutes; the International Tennis Hall of Fame is about 0.6 km, roughly 8 minutes; and Touro Synagogue is about 0.7 km, roughly 9 minutes.
Parking is not listed among the facilities, so it is not confirmed. If you are driving to Newport, ask the property before booking whether there is parking and what it costs.
What guests say
Across 354 reviews the average is 9.2 out of 10. That placed it joint second of the 4 eligible properties on review score.
Two things come up again and again. First, the location: central, on the water, and easy for walking to restaurants and the harbor. Second, the staff, described as friendly and helpful, with a warm welcome and accommodating service.
The weak spot is noise. Guests say sound carries through thin ceilings and walls, including footsteps from upstairs and a bar next door. Pack earplugs.
Price and what you get, compared with our other two picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults put Harborside Inn at about €202.89 per night. The sample median was €255.76, so this was about 21% below the median. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Wayfinder Newport, came in at about €129.86 per night with a guest score of 8.1. Our Luxury pick, Castle Hill Inn, was about €961.09 per night with a score of 9.5. Harborside Inn sits between them: roughly €73 more per night than the Budget pick for a much higher score, and far cheaper than the Luxury option.

Why it made our top 3
We compared 4 eligible properties in Newport. Harborside Inn won the Best Value slot because it balances a high guest score, a solid number of reviews and a price below the median. It is not the cheapest option in town.
Before you book
Check the current price for your dates, since the figures here are reference prices from November 2026. Confirm whether breakfast is included, what the cancellation terms are, and whether parking is available.
If noise is a concern, ask which rooms are furthest from the bar and whether a top-floor room can be requested. Room size and renovation condition have not been assessed, so look at recent guest photos before you commit.
