“Well situated for everything.”

Reviewed May 21, 2013 NEW

Situated in the heart of GunWharf Quays, this hotel is clean, comfortable and within easy walking distance of all attractions, restaurants and cafes. A nice touch was the ice-maker on the landing. Professional check in and we found the staff pleasant and helpful throughout. Complimentary breakfast was not great. Toaster either under or overcooks bread and the eggs were rubbery.... More

“Dodgy Eggs...”

Reviewed May 16, 2013 NEW

I am a member of the rather grandly named Priority Club; the Holiday Inn's loyalty scheme. In the bigger hotels, it gets you room upgrades and such like, but in the smaller ones - like the Express - usually nothing. However, to my surprise, I received a great welcome, and someone had thoughtfully placed a bar of choc and some... More

We arrived late at night, around 1 am, despite the arrival being in the early hours of the morning we were greeted with great politeness and excellent service by Samantha.

This hotel is located amid name brand outlet stores right on the harbor in Portsmouth. There are numerous restaurants and bars, from the low end (Burger King and Subway) to much nicer and more expensive dining spots. The rooms are not large, but are adequate for short stays. The bed was comfortable and there was a modern television. On check... More

“Nice Spot”

Reviewed May 3, 2013 via mobile

I think you have to remember its a holiday inn, not the Ritz. I think we had a good stay, reasonably priced for the location and easy parking. Downside is breakfast, or lack of a good one. But plenty of restaurants close by doing a roaring trade in breakfasts. Would return as was clean and comfortable.
