Clean, all facilities were of good quality and staff in reception and restaurant were very good. Breakfast was excellent.
Why do you have to pay £12 for parking, when it is part of the hotel facilities, and the only guests at the hotel come by car.

Disliked: Staff & service
(1) room: excellent/clean, but no phone to connect with receptionist and WiFi was not working due to tech issues (2) staff: they were nice but responsiveness did lack (3) area convenience: a bit far from the city center (4) breakfast was great (5) overall: I would rate this hotel 2.5
Ruime kamer. Het vast tapijt, gordijnen en behang vond ik wat vies (plekken). Geen geluid van buitenaf maar in het gebouw zelf was het wel zeer gehorig.
Personeel is supervriendelijk.
Er is geen lift dus hou daar rekening mee als je wil boeken in dit hotel. Er zijn wel een aantal kamers helemaal voorzien op mensen met een beperking.
Food menu was awful , over priced junk food £18 for a pie and chips ( frozen type ) let the side down , we had it once but only because we were tired from out journey . 2/10
All the staff were very friendly and helpful , will revisit ( if you will have us )
Thank you
Had accessible room- excellent room plenty of space and when my father had a fall staff came immediately.
Breakfast busy but staff cleared tables and topped up food very quickly no waiting.
Evening meal very good
Excellent hotel, convenient location, good air conditioning, really good food at the restaurant. Aside from one slightly stroppy lady behind the bar, the staff were attentive and helpful. The only thing I didn't like was having to pay additional for parking in the hotel car park.
The Holiday Inn is situated off the A3(M)and Eastern road. It is not in Portsmouth which is 4-5 miles way.
There is adequate parking at £6 per day with a voucher. Reception staff were helpful and provided information on mealtimes etc.
We were allocated a quiet ground floor room at the rear of the hotel away form the main road which was appreciated. The room was spacious and well decorated with Aircon and working shower. The bed was new and comfortable.
Breakfast was included in the £90per night cost, it was adequate but quite busy at 07.30 in the morning.
I would rate this an upper 3 star hotel.
Two rooms booked, one standard double satisfactory, the other without air conditioning on the hottest day of the year, advised hotel full and unable to accommodate further, presented with a fan, no discounts or remuneration except one drink at the bar. will not be returning although an IHG Gold Card member.
The hotel was clean and the staff friendly and professional. A bonus was the aircon in the rooms (we were there during the heatwave) nice comfy bed too!
Rooms good quality and size. Staff very helpful and friendly and there for any questions or needs you have and nothing is a problem for them.
Great breakfast which was included for free. Great location to head into Portsmouth also a good access roads as well.

Clean room. Comfortable bed. Good shower. Breakfast ok
We have stayed in many hotels Portsmouth and were pleasantly surprised with the Holiday Inn. Parking was available, safe and easy.
Ana who checked us in was efficient and friendly. The hotel and our room was spotless. Our room was spacious and had everything we needed.
Breakfast was included in the price and we enjoyed the selection. The quality of the coffee was excellent 👌
Would definitely book again.
Zimmer war sauber und gross. Die Anlage ist eher alt und das Frühstücks-Buffet kann man sich sparen!
Parkplatz muss man auch als Gast bezahlen, ist aber wohl so in England.
Our room was very spacious and the bed comfortable. The hotel has a different layout so depending on where your room is you may have to walk a long way to get to it or cut across the courtyard if it’s not raining. A bit in the middle of nowhere but ok if you have a car. Large parking lot but you have to pay.
