Cosy, confortable and clean.

It was a lovely stay! Bed was comfortable, the room was spotless and the food was good. The pool, sauna, steam room and whirlpool were enjoyable but a few tiles were missing in the pool itself. The hotel was in a good area where most places of interest were walkable. Staff were very helpful too!

A few days escape..

Friendly front of house, which dealt with our check in quickly and professionally.. The room was adequate, clean and bright.. Breakfast here is to die for..It carers for all tastes.. The lovely chef was chatty and interesting to talk to.. The only thing that I would say is that some of the fruits for breakfast had run out and they still hadn't been replaced by our third day . Overall I would recommend a stay here .

Good location

Staff were amazing and attentive. Had food from in the bar and breakfast both very good. Requested connecting room and that’s what we got. Rooms on the small side and compact but everything you need except no fridge. Great location.
Denise, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It is what it is

Easy book in. Small room but adequate though the ironing board took up a lot of the wardrobe and there were no drawers only shelves. Quiet, mostly, till someone decided to rev up a vintage car with throaty engine from 6-8.30am outside our room. Breakfast choices were good but had to wait for bacon/eggs to be topped up. Bar meals were nice but we didn't eat in the restaurant or use the pool. Fantastic greek restaurant at the end of the road. El Greco's but book. It was busy.

Holiday Inn stay overnight

The pool was nice and I had a lovely early morning swim. We had some troubles with our room and they upgraded ys but the bathroom could have been cleaner. shower was hot unlike the breakfast which was very disappointing

Convenient

Good location for walking to the shopping centre or Southsea. Car park wasn't big enough, but you can hire a permit to park nearby. Friendly staff.
Elaine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very helpful staff. Really polite. Great location for fun fair and sea front walls. Great breakfast offerings but don't leave it too late, as they don't seem to re fill it after half 9 and drinks and pastries tend to have run out. Just get there earlier. Nice pool for an hour now and then, towels provided.

I left a shirt behind with some very special cuff links I’m hoping someone from the hotel will read this and get in touch with me. Dukesy@me.com

The most unfriendly staff, especially at reception!!! Although the room was “serviced” the dirty cups were not replaced and used, damp towels were placed in the closet.

Average stay

Still a pleasant stay. The hotel is a bit run down amenities still for a 4 star hotel. Aircon not working, walls of the hotel needs repainting and the scent of the hotel and rooms in general not appealling. It smelt like an old fabric. The sofa bed needs a more stable mattress or foundation it’s creaks everytime we move. The exhaust of the toilets not working. My daughter enjoyed the pool which is good. Will I stay here again probably if the price of the stay is cheaper because it’s not worth it for a 4 star hotel.
