First time staying at a Holiday Inn but can thoroughly recommend this one in Portsmouth. Only staying overnight before getting the ferry but wished we could stay longer. Managed to do some shopping at Gun Wharf & enjoy the surrounding area. All within easy reach to hotel.

It was a nice hotel for a 1 nights stay. Booked it because it had a pool and a hot tub but could not get into the pool in the morning as it was full of kids.

Everything was just ok. Some places were sub par particularly breakfast with many plates and mugs stained and dirty from poor dishwashing. These could have been removed from Circulation if a simple inspection is done on cricket when it comes out of the dishwasher. Staff were helpful and friendly.

The location was excellent for us feeling central to accessing Southsea and Portsmouth. Within walking distance to old Portsmouth and the sea from. From Checking in we spent little time at the venue, but the time we did, the staff were excellent and the room was clean and comfortable meeting our needs.

Was average in our opinion. Our bed was a small double, there was only one set of towels out and the room was hot. Restaurant was ridiculous as had to pay for each course separately (pay as you go) so put us off having dessert. Half food wasnt available and one waitress was very laissez faire in her attitude. When we did eventually find something on the menu it tasted good BUT it wasnt what we wanted. Very very poor gluten free options, infact only steak!! Convenient for ferry port.

This place desperately needs money spending on it. Broken lamp stand, toilet roll holder falling out of the wall and generally in poor condition. The staff in the restaurant were clueless and the food was cheap deep fried rubbish. Massively overpriced !!!

Well located property near to the pier. We stayed during a very hot weather period, disappointingly the a/c in the room was out of order, a fan was provided but it was insufficient to cool the room. Also no fridge in the room
