Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

8/10 Good

"We stayed by way of an emergency after our planned accomodation fell through. The hotel was clean, staff friendly, good breakfast, car park on site plus huge one meters away. Very near Spinnaker tower and its actually on Gunwharf Quays Shopping Outlet. Very near Isle of white ferry and foot ferry and a short walk to Hovercraft. Loads of good eating choices very near. Our room was well used but comfy, some plugs didnt work and a lack of USB charging points was a surprise in this day and age, The aircon/heating didnt appear to work though the room was an ok temperature during our stay in October. Near to railway stn, and HMS Victory attractions. Apart from minor niggles with room we were very happy, comfortable and well fed at Breakfast"

8/10 Good

"Was a little apprehensive on the stay here after only paying £33 fit myself and grandson. I needn’t of been. Yes the place is dated but it was clean, no smells and the bed was comfortable, and there was extra pillows in the room. Tea, coffee facilities were good too. We didn’t go into the bar area. Will defo stay again. Only downside was the reception staff, not overly friendly however I did arrive just as she was eating food."
