Holiday Inn, Gunwharf, Portsmouth review.
The hotel was clean and the staff were very friendly. The rooms are getting a little dated and could do with a refresh in the next couple of years. Overall it was a good one night stay with a great breakfast and the added benefit of free parking in Gunwharf. We had an early start to catch the ferry to France, so having a full breakfast available at 6:30am on a Saturday morning was a great start to the day. I would recommend a stay here.

Excellent location, service and breakfast. The bed should be thrown in the bin. Small and very uncomfortable. Bring yourselves up to the 21st century and put in king size beds. The last time I had a diuble bed was in a cheap B & B in Blackpool 10 years agi

6/10 Good

Great staff a shame about the room.
The receptionist(s) where excellent and very helpful to say the least. We had and dog and I wanted a late check out, very accommodating and very friendly, a credit to Holiday In Express. Great location to shops and eateries on Gun Wharf Quays. Parking is below the hotel in the shopping complex but can be very busy on a weekend and Bank Holiday but he parking ticket can be validated by HIX Well the room was in an extremely poor state of repair (but clean). There where numerous large brown stains (on a beige carpet), there was mildew all around the shower screen, stains and splashes over the wall paper giving a feeling of cringe! The bedding was very clean, air con worked well but for an +£100 per room hotel the warm welcome was let down by a tired room, probably 2 years beyond when it should have been refurbed. FYI - I have stopped in this hotel many years ago without complaint and have been stopping in HIX several times over this last 12 months without cause for complaint
