I booked a twin room with a view of the Spinnaker, for a friend who had never visited Southsea. We arrived after dark, and immediately opened the drapes to reveal a wonderful lit up Spinnaker. The booking in process (on the first floor) had been easy. All areas including the corridors are clean. The twin room was very clean, the bathroom was also clean. Breakfast was served 6.30 - 9.30am and is quite adequate. Parking is in the Gunwharf Quays shopping complex underground parking lot. The hotel staff will validate the parking ticket, so that parking is free. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel, and I hope to stay again very soon.

Booked for a gig at the Guildhall and this hotel is a very easy 10 minute walk to the venue. Loads of places to eat. Took advantage of the 10% discount at some stores for holiday inn guests. Wasn’t sure about where to park, and missed the entrance to the hotel but just parked in the gunwharf main multi storey. Ticket validated at check in and it was made clear free for 24 hours, then £2 per day. I think this should be made clearer upon booking. Breakfast was good, had to wait for some items to be topped up but at least it was all quite fresh. Our only complaint really was the bed which wasn’t comfortable and dipped in the middle. We didn’t sleep well which was a shame as everything else worked really well for us.

We arrived a little early on Friday afternoon but the welcome was warm and accommodating and gave us useful information about Gunwharf Quays in general as well as the hotel. The hotel does a special rate for the main car park at gunwharf Quays at £2 a day which is excellent. They also have a great selection for breakfast, we were warned not to leave breakfast too late as it gets busy so we went down early and although busy it was easy to get what you wanted and the staff were very helpful. We stayed for two nights and our friends made a comment about their mattress which was very noisy and bouncy they receptionist was helpful and stayed they may be able to love room but in the end as it was only one more night they stayed in the same room, but the staff were again eager to ensure their stay was good. A great place to stay right on Gunwharf Quays very friendly and helpful staff will definitely stay there again.

Lyndsey and Lee were very kind and friendly to us during our stay. It’s in a great location and the parking was free. It was quite expensive for what it is so probably wouldn’t stay again unless it was cheaper.

Family room booked well in advance. Autumn stay. Room was very hot when we arrived- 27 degrees. Put fan system on straight away and went out for a few hours to let it cool down. Came back to find it at 27degrees. Window handle was missing so couldn't get any air in. Rang reception to be told fan system was broken in hotel and they wouldn't come to fix/ look at window. No spare rooms to move us to. Would not have stayed but we had had a drink with dinner out. No one slept as so hot and stuffy. Poor customer service. Would not stay again!

We arrived early so we really appreciated getting a room right away. However, the overall feel of the place is just tired. You have to use your key card to turn on the lights, but they only stayed on for around 20 minutes and then you had to take the card out and reinsert it. Surprising that the only hotel in a sleek shopping area on the water isn't nicer.

Great location in Gunwharf to access shopping and bars. Friendly staff. Free parking for first 24 hours. Room compact but bed comfortable. However room and shower room was very tired and in need of a refresh.

Typical Holiday inn Express. Bit chaotic on arrival - better signing to entrance when driving would be helpful & bigger area to unload as no space - had to drive into large underground car park (plenty of space) but then walk back long way carrying stuff to hotel. Room was fine though bed mattress sinking in middle a bit & noise outside woke us early on Sunday. Sunday breakfast at 09.30 was certainly peak time - only one poor woman racing around trying to clean & clear tables was woefully insufficient despite her heroic efforts. No spare tables. Food stock on display very diminished & not stocked up in time - it got better by 10.15. I guess many folk stay for shopping & the shops opening later on Sundays means most will want to come down for the last hour of breakfast - as this is clearly a known factor, maybe staff and prepare better for it? Staff were helpful. great to have the parking All in all, you are paying a premium for the location and nothing else

Staff very polite and helpful. Quite a lot of eating places close by. The choice for breakfast was really good. However the icing on the cake was that the parking, although in a multi story car park, was free.

The bedroom was serviced well. There was only one chair in a twin room. There were no spare pillow. Breakfast was satisfactory but not good in comparison with other hotel chains. Fruit was very sweet as was the fruit compote. It was good to have jars of jam and marmalade instead of silly little jars. However, they were very sweet. There were never enough tea spoons at breakfast.

This property was first off a little difficult to find. Signage was not very visible unless you were directly in front of the building. Getting to the front desk was difficult getting to having to go up a floor to get to it. A small portion of the staff was helpful, however some were not friendly and acted like they had better things to do than be helpful. The breakfast was just ok. There was no variety. The room was nice and clean, but the air conditioner was on the fritz. Had to have maintenance come up and look it over. It was fixed and the room was comfortable. My stay overall was good, not great.

The room was really neat, but we had to ask to get the fold out bed made up, then ask for a bigger duvet for it. Staff very friendly though, and gave the family ice-cream on arrival which was nice. They also made sure we were aware of discounts we could use locally. The only negative was it was squash not juice with breakfast which was a tiny issue.

Very convenient spot, close to all amenities, great location. Felt the hotel was fine for our two night stay, felt like it needed a bit of a face lift, didn’t smell great in the hallways near the room, musty. Room was ok, apart from one thing…the bed was small for two of us and mattress not great, every time each of us moved the other one did too, really not very comfortable. Breakfast was ok. All in all, an enjoyable stay, but some improvements could be made and felt it was quite expensive taking into account the above points.
