Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great location right on the site of all the shops and resturants. Good breakfast but would liked to have seen some veggie sausages, stayed 4 nights but never had them, apart from that its a good holiday inn.👍"

Holiday Inn Portsmouth by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall reasonably good. Room was fine, but the air conditioning didn't work (a problem in a number of rooms that weekend). Check-in was very slow, said to be because of a new computer system. Quiet, sea view (it was 5th floor and extra). Also, and as with a previous room, the shower drained very slowly and the outlet was pretty bunged up with hair (don't look!). We paid for parking with the booking and since there was no space in the hotel car park we got a voucher to park in the road outside, which was fine. We rarely saw any spaces in the car park. Nice to have a bar for a night cap, and breakfast (also included) was pretty good, we were just amused by the lethargy of the staff around there. Not sure we've ever seen two people work so slowly, chatting on the side. At one point I counted six tables that needed clearing and quests walking round looking for tables and eventually clearing their own. Not experienced things this bad for a while. We stayed two nights and experienced the same each morning."

Holiday Inn Express Southampton M27 Jct7 by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff very attentive and friendly all the way through our stay and any questions were quickly answered without drama. Hotel itself was clean and in good order but carpet in our room was stained, although you could see it had been cleaned and felt clean. Room itself had pretty much everything we needed, except for a fridge, and very clean. Breakfast was pretty good and staff quick to find out which cooked foods were safe with my allergy. For the money it was great value and would definitely use again"
