The hotel it's self was average a typical Holiday inn, it's situated well with good transport links within the city. The rooms were clean & comfortable. The reception staff were miserable, surly, unhelpful & looked like their faces would crack if they smiled (which I didn't see my whole stay!!) Luckily we didn't need to go near them except to check in & get parking voucher!

One of two lifts not working all 3 days, which caused ‘jams’ at busy times of the day. Coffee machines in breakfast area not working properly each morning and staff struggled to rectify! However, breakfast was good and satisfying. Room was clean and adequate, bathroom quite cosy. Convenient for walk into GunWharf or along the seafront. Top stars go to staff in all areas, all very friendly and working so hard to give good service even when sometimes under pressure.

Nice but looking tired and tatty
We have stayed at the Holiday Inn, Portsmouth for many many years as its at a good location and has comfortable rooms. The service is good but weve noticed a determination in the fixtures and fittings over the padt couple of years. This trip in December 2024, the deterioration has got worse with tired looking rooms worn and dirty carpets and bathrooms in need of a refresh. The whole hotel really needs a full refurbishment. Just looking out of the windows, the window sills are dirty and covered in a green slime. However, the reception staff are always nice and courteous. Come on IHG spend some money and give this lovely hotel a makeover.....but that costs money doesn't it!

No Heating at Night
Reception staff was not really welcoming and not providing enough information about the hotel facility without we are asking for it, rooms were out dated and heater was not turned on , there was no way to control it as it was central heating, radiator never turned on during winter night and they provided portable heater but you are paying around £100 per night and you sleep in a cold room was not acceptable, I wouldn’t recommend and never will stay again ever

Good service… but
Good service but window did not shut completely in room and it looked like Temperature control did not work either. Also coffee maker did not work. But there was a kettle and that worked fine. Room was clean as expected. Also this is the second time I have stayed here and the bar ran out of slimline tonic both times!
