Picking a hotel in Portsmouth/Southsea, having never been to the area before was something of a lottery and in the Holiday Inn we think we did as well as we could have hoped. The location could hardly be better; within the proverbial stone's throw of the sea (we had a room on the front giving us a view across to... More

Speedy check in and out and good view from our 6th floor room. The staff were friendly and tried hard, the room was clean but lacking in individuality You may as well save your money and go to the Premier Inn across the road, where we have stayed in the past with a view over the sea. For a better... More

Stayed for a night last night whilst on business in the area. Room was incredibly hot and the air conditioning was either ineffective or broken. The shower leaked water constantly, which meant there was a loud dripping noise all night long, which I simply could not supress despite various attempts to dampen the sound with towels etc. Breakfast was poor,...

Hello everybody, Guten tag, I stayed 2 weeks here and 3 weeks in Holiday Inn Porstmouth and my girlfriend (Spanish) called every night, at no time was she informed that you are charged for incoming calls, as you are transferred when u call reception (landline) free with our telekom contract). I was then informed by parent company ICH, when I... More

I attended a course in this hotel and was accommodated in room 325. On arriving, the receptionist couldn't find my reservation details !

When I refused, she did some more checking and,... More

My husband and I spent 2 very pleasant nights a this hotel. Reception staff were very pleasant and helpful, check-in and check-out were a breeze and our room was spotless. Breakfast was fresh and plentiful and we had no problems parking. We would not hesitate to stay here again and find it hard to undertand some of the negative comments... More

Nice hotel, right on the front. Nice pool and good sauna and steam room. Close enough to walk to gun wharf quay, city centre and Albert road. Warning- do not take room605 unless you are a heavy sleeper, it must be right next to the heating system so you just get tapping noise all night, I had to change room... More

Mature Couple and family stayed at Portsmouth albeit on a deal the rooms were good and clean. Just disappointed with atmoshpere. Staff seemed more interested in the Gala Night than the normal staying guests. No one but no one wished us Happy New Year. Several Items in main Restaurant were off but the poor waitress was not aware and had... More

Stayed as two couples, 50 +, for one night only 30/12/2011 wished it had been two nights. Lovely location, very clean well equipt rooms, great breakfast can't fault it. We had a discounted rate, from the Mail on Saturday. A good tip is to go out of the hotel for drinks & meals as it's expensive in the hotel. We... More
