One of the best holiday Inns I have stayed at. The free breakfast was a real plus as was the free parking for 24hrs followed by parking for £2 a day. For Portsmouth you can’t beat this hotel. Would highly recommend!

This was a brief stay but the hotel was excellent. Staff were super helpful. Room was very clean and had everything we might need including iron. Very comfortable. Breakfast was included and very tasty with lots of options. Didn’t like coffee but seems to be same in many hotels using the type of machine they have. Great location and easy parking. Highly recommend.

Very disappointing stay. The AC was out in the hotel. The common areas (hallways, breakfast area) were unbearably hot. Our room was OK with the windows open and fan but we couldn’t sleep with the noise coming in from the busy restaurant and club area surrounding the hotel. Although we checked with the staff when we arrived at 9:00 am, and again at 1:00 pm we weren’t notified about the AC problem until we checked in at 3:00, leaving us little to no time to make alternative reservations for the night. When we checked in at 3:00 our room wasn’t ready. We needed to wait in hot breakfast area until about 3:45. Sofa was stained, rest of the room was ok. Not a good stay, would not come back.

Height of the summer, faulty air-conditioning for the duration of stay. Temperatures in the room hitting 28-29C. Windows sealed. For security! Very dated small room

Comfortable clean & tidy.

My first stay at Gunwharf Holiday Inn. Lovely cozy hotel. Close to all restaurants, railway station and outlet shopping. Hotel was clean, neat and tidy. The air conditioning wasn’t working but the staff accommodated us with 3 table fans . The weather was quite pleasant, so didn’t mind the air conditioning not working. Breakfast options were very good too. Will definitely be visiting the hotel in the summer.

Hotel is always good but in the hot weather the air con was not working. Whilst room fans were provided, it was uncomfortable. Outside of this, a good stay.
