"Clean room, comfortable beds, fans provided for hot room. Issue with hand set not working for TV, dealt with promptly. Had problems at breakfast. Poor breakfast offering, food in deep bowls on a hot plate and when explained food was cold was told to stir the bowl and take the food from the bottom, but by that time, I had put up with the cold food. Coffee machine not working properly. and when dealt with, the amount of coffee in the latte was more like warm milk with very little coffee. This is a nice hotel and was happy with the room, but would not take breakfast in the future for which they were charging £16.95 each person as this was poor value for a cold breakfast."

"The staff was great to welcome and assist you. Difficult access to the pool and although the property has some updates, more should be considered. The stay was enjoyable and would us the hotel again as it is one of the better ones in the area.

Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at this property for two nights prior to embarking on a cruise ship outboundfrom Portsmouth Harbor. The hotel is a short walk from the Portsmouth train terminal. It is located in the Gunwharf Quay development which is a huge shopping mall and entertainment venue with many restaurants. It is an easy walk to the Museum of the Royal Navy and a bit longer walk into the core of old Portsmouth. The hotel was pleasant but beginning to show wear. The breakfast was good with many offerings and sufficed to start our days."
