Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth Gunwharf Quays, an IHG Hotel, hotel in Portsmouth

Superbly located in Portsmouth’s lively waterfront development, Gunwharf Quays, this hotel offers bright, modern rooms with buffet breakfasts. Stores, bars and restaurants are on the hotel doorstep.

By lots of food options. However it was all chain restaurants and a little pricy due to location. I did like the Tesco next door to offset this a bit.

    The coastal area is nice to walk along.

    The coastal area is nice to walk along. The Mary Rose & Victory Museum are very good. Portsmouth city centre is dull, lacking greenery or planters, many shops are empty. It is not an attractive city centre! There is a statue of Charles Dickens in the Guildsquare otherwise the area is grim.

    Only stayed for a day but that was plenty of time for the main attractions in the dock area. Mary rose museum is a must see. Lots of families around who seemed to be enjoying the dock area and the shopping mall.

    The attraction was the harbour.

    The attraction was the harbour. The ticket was expensive but well worth it. The Mary Rose Museum was phenomenally good - exciting, imaginitive and caught the attention of grandparents, parents and children alike. The Victory was almost equally good and the guides there were exceptional. We also visited the Warrior where the guide took over explaining to the children, told us an immense amount but also had us all in fits of laughter. Strongly recommended for all ages We also very much enjoyed Portchester castle and the exhibition on the prison there (and the cafe in the church.

    Location was great for us as it was a short walk from the bus and train station at The Hard, and convenient to our plan of walking about historic Portsmouth, from Southsea Castle to HM Naval Base. Excellent English breakfast was included, served in a comfortable and quaintly decorated (nautical memorabilia) room. Also has a great bar. And the staff were most courteous and helpful, allowing us to leave our bags following checkout, and calling a taxi to take us to the International Port Terminal at the end of the day.

    The location was fantastic, only 5 minutes walk to the beach and even closer to the restaurants, plus only a 9-minute drive to Portsmouth Old Harbour. Despite that, the room was quiet and calming, and the bed is comfortable You could have a really good night's sleep. The owners understand what families need! There is a clean communal kitchen, so you could buy takeaway and dine in the sanctuary of the hotel, avoiding the crowds in the restaurants. The decor of the bedroom was pleasant, too.

    The location couldn’t have been better as my brother was leaving on a year-round, round-the-world yacht race from there on Sept 3. The boats were there at the end of the wharf just about 1/4 mile away. And the hotel is at the end of a high scale mall with LOTS of restaurants, pubs, cafes. Linsey at the front desk was amazing and super helpful, as was her young male night shift co-worker (Phil?). LOVED having the bar and food till 2:00 a.m. for those of us who are insomniacs!

    Location in Old Portsmouth was superb - just a short walk to the Harbour entrance or to Gunwharf Quays. Accommodation provides a free parking permit for the zone which is brilliant, and the roads are fairly quiet in this part of Portsmouth Convenient Co-Op shop is very close by for drinks and snacks to take to your room Great view of Spinnaker Tower from our room on 2nd floor Staff very helpful in sorting out our couple of issues on arrival

    This is my third time at the Royal Maritime Club, however this time I stayed in the central wing. As usual, the rooms were clean and the hot tub was gave me a great relaxation after a hard sailing week. In breakfast there is a large selection of traditional English dishes as well as serials and yogurt selection. This time I also dined at the hotel restaurant which was ok though a bit pricy.

    We had the second floor suite at the front of the building facing the port, I was concerned that with the amount of traffic, buses, trains, boats and people it would be noisy. However the sound proofing was fine, no issues. Everything was clean and the décor of the room and the hotel generally was of a high standard. The full breakfast on offer in the morning was excellent.

    Went by train from my home town in South Wales one change at Cardiff Central and then straight to Portsmouth Harbour Station (4 hours travel plus 1 hour wait in Cardiff), so would have been unhappy with additional travel. The Hotel is directly opposite the train /bus station, so exit cross the road at the main pedestrian crossing point and straight through the hotel door.
