Thanks go to the receptionist who changed my non-refundable booking for an earlier date following the cancellation of my French Easter holiday later this year by the gite owners. Since we were holidaying on the Isle of Wight during February half term I'm very pleased I didn't lose any more money. Hotel was clean, quiet and has good sized rooms... More

Our family stayed at the Holiday Inn Express for 4 nights in July 2011, using it as a base from which to explore the Hampshire area. The positives for us were: the convenient location, the staff friendliness and the no-frills breakfast. The negatives were: the shoddy entrance and access to the hotel, the parking inconvenience and the beds that kept... More

I have stayed many times in the Holiday Inn chain of hotels, so did have some pre-conceptions of what to expect. First the positives: Good sized room , and a comfortable bed, had the option of firm or soft pillows which is a nice touch as many hotels only seem to have the standard option. Had a really good nights... More

We have just reurned from a 3 night stay at the hotel and we could not have chosen better. The location is great for everything, historic dockyard, spinniker tower, waterside and shops, all within walking distance. We left our car in the car park and walked everywhere. The hotel parking was very cheap for city centre parking. The staff were... More

no problems with this hotel. Breakfast was a bit manic at weekend but signs in the hotel suggest you go early to avoid the rush. It was quiet and clean and a very pleasant stay. The staff were very helpful. Overall, good value for money More

We had a twin room with two very comfortable beds. There was no excess noise so sleeping wasn't a problem. The... More

Stayed here for two nights for a private party at the Spinnaker Tower. Ideal location for Gun Wharf Quays and Tower. Room was clean but basic. Use of key cards for lift and lights in room was challenging, but ok once we had mastered the art. Breakfast was adequate, although the hot food was cold. Avoid breakfast at busy times,... More

This Hotel is absolutely perfectly located in Portsmouth, Shops and restaurants galore, all on the doorstep. You do hear a bit of noise from the bars and restaurants, but it's not that bad.If you stay right in the middle of a busy centre like this, you'd expect a bit of noise. The car parking is great, you actually park in... More

The hotel was pretty basic but right at Gunwharf Quays so can't be more convenient. The room has basic furniture. Ok size (not big) but relatively clean. Breakfast was ok. My complaint was that it was pretty noisy late at night (people coming out of pub talking loud, screaming). The hotel has pretty late check in time. I arrived Portsmouth... More
