We got back yesterday having spend the hottest weekend of the year so far in Portsmouth at the Holiday Inn. First impressions were great, we arrived at 8am on Friday morning (having decided to get up early and beat the traffic and the heat), parked easily and received a very warm welcome from reception. We went into breakfast which was... More

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
