"Visited whilst they are under some form of renovation, so lifts weren't working and it was a maze trying to find our rooms as there were no signs up. Lot's of construction mess everywhere.
Breakfast was pretty poor, sausages seemed to have been cooked for 5days as they were tough as anything.
Best thing was the evening meal in the restaurant, very nice food. The staff were all very polite and helpful.
Stayed here as we were visiting the historic dockyards and the location was perfect for this."
"Front desk staff especially Michelle is excellent but the guy there keeps on saying the water in the dispenser would be refilled but it never happened"
Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG
8/10 Good
"Nice comfortable and clean rooms. Great location, right in the centre of Gunwarf Quays.
The hotel also offers extra discounts to shops and restaurants for guests.
Parking was in the main carpark for Gunwarf, and if you validate at the hotel you get the first 24hrs for free and every day after for £2 (usually £28 for 24hrs)
Biggest highlight was Wayne on the bar, made us so welcome, gave good recommendations and made us a laugh."
"The property is in need of repair and I was in the top floor room so the internet wasn’t great the back of the remote was missing so had to hold the batteries in when using it and there were rips in the wallpaper"
"I stayed just for one night, but really liked it. Comfortable rooms, helpful staff, good location and a great breakfast. Definitely my go to for staying in Portsmouth."
"Much cheaper than the Premier Inn we tend to stay in. The only thing that I felt was a draw back was that as a Blue Badge Holder I couldn't shower because the shower was over the bath."
"The room was very clean and reception staff extremely helpful. I particularly liked using the facilities in the dining room to make breakfast - fridge, microwave, sink and kettle. There are five parking spaces at the front, and the location is not far from the sea or Southsea town. I was travelling alone and felt very safe staying at this hotel. The price was also very reasonable. Would stay here again."
