10/10 Excellent
"This was my first time staying at the Holiday Inn express in gunwharf quays. Me and my partner arrived in Portsmouth at 11. Check in wasn’t until 3pm. They were very accommodating with regards to putting our suitcase into storage whilst walking around, which is a secured room which the staff take you to and wait until you have done it. On check in time, the lady on reception was very helpful. It was also my other half’s birthday, so they gave us a complemtary drinks voucher to use at the bar. All the staff were helpful and friendly, the breakfast was lovely, nothing to complain about at all!. The rooms were very clean, and added bonus the air con was working, after booking I received a message to say that the air con was being fixed and wouldn’t be working when we arrived! This hotel I would definitely recommend, and 100% worth the price!!"

"Room was good apart from the great south view from the 5 large windows has warmed to room to near sauna temp. Just a fan to stir the air with windows wide. No air conditioner. Lobby nice, indoor bar good, outside bar / resembles a basic pub garden, no interest. Breakfast let down by high price and no real coffee. Come on get a machine for proper coffee."
