We stayed at this hotel for one night only in april. The check-in was difficult, the lady had a terrible accent and we had a hard time understanding each other. The room was ok but the bathroom needed refurbishing. Mildew around the bath tub was not a pretty sight! Too bad because the reception area was really nice and the... More

From the outside the holiday inn Portsmouth looks like a block of flats. But when you get in its a whole new experience! The whole place looks like its had a recent refit to bring it up to date with the rest of the holiday inn sites. A quick lift takes you too our floor and the hallways are all... More

We Stayed at the Holiday Inn for one night on 12 May 2012. We booked through Hotwire and got two rooms for less than the advertised price of a single room. I would not have paid full price for the rooms. The rooms were clean, and beds comfortable. Parking is very limited and we had to get up early in... More

Stayed for a family get-together for 2 nights and had a wonderful time. The rooms were good - not very big but who cares - we were only sleeping there! They were nice and clean, comfy beds & the bathroom had a powerful shower which is a must-have for me. We ate in the restaurant both nights as part of... More

A weekend stay at this Holiday Inn, wasn't too bad. The building from the outside doesn't look much but once inside it is tastefully decorated. Parking is limited and very tight however, in the event of the car park being full the staff at reception will give you a permit to park on the road surrounding the hotel at no... More

Me and my friend stayed here on a deal £25pppn on an internet deal we found. We were pleasantly surprised. Upon arrival the hotel looks a bit grotty and I worried, but the reception/bar area were both lovely. We were even happier with our room, it was cleanly decorated, and comfortable. The bathroom was standard and non-offensive and was very... More

stayed here when at a reunion recently - a lot less expensive than the new one by the shopping area at the ferries. Hotel is okay as Holiday Inn's go. Room was clean. I'm still surprised that hotels like this charge for wi-fi (>£20 a day) even coffee shops are free these days and you only need to spend a... More

Having a busy weekend in Portsmouth I chose this hotel because of its central location between locations used over the weekend. Room was comfortable staff pleasant. In house breakfast considered expensive but found an excellent cafe / tea rooms opposite Old Portsmouth Cathedral that served up a full english tea and toast at a 1/3 of the cost. Hotel clean...

Check-in was efficient and neutral. Room was as expected - bed very comfortable and choice of pillows; bathroom had Seaweed Therapy shampoo, shower gel and moisturiser. Shower curtain over bath, but at least with a curved rail which avoids that awful clingy feeling. There was nowhere in the room to sit and dry hair in front of a mirror. Breakfast... More
