The sushi menu, decor, staff, breakfast - very quick to arrive. I found the stairs difficult being disabled there are stairs and some without handrails or only on one side. Otherwise a near perfect score, well done and great value for money as well too.

My accommodation, booked and paid for, was a complete disaster. It no longer even existed. Don’t get caught out, and don’t believe anything you see about staying at ‘Zoom’, it is a lie.
I was thankful to get a room at Travelodge in Portsmouth instead, but all this after a long day’s travel by train from up north.
Travelodge felt like heaven! Portsmouth was fine, but tainted by my bad experience.

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.

I'm a budget traveller so I don't need luxurious accommodation..around £50-60 per night is OK...if you're wanting to go into the city lots of buses available....you can change in the city for a bus to gunwharf....I did mention a kettle and tea/ coffee making facilities would be nice....if you want a big breakfast tesco is 2 minutes walk.....I would recommend this hotel for price and convenience

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.
Was so pleasantly surprised by this hotel. All of the staff were absolutely lovely and very helpful. The room was very nice, the bathroom super clean (with great shower pressure, a spacious tub, and VERY good hand soap). The bed was extremely comfy — unusual for all of the pillows to be as comfortable as this hotel. The decor of the entire place was very fun, properly themed. I had a good look at all the model boats. The breakfast was pretty standard, very edible. Spectacular location for Portsmouth Harbour attractions & Gunwharf Quays.
Great central location, 5 minute walk from train station, 15 minutes to Gunwharf Quays and 20 minutes to Southsea beach. Restaurants and bars nearby. We had a lovely quiet room at the back of the hotel. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff helpful and friendly. Attractive communal area on ground floor which was nice to sit in. Food was good. If we're back in Portsmouth then this will be our choice of place to stay.
The location was great, especially for the esplanade and beach. There was parking outside the property, and a bus stop directly outside the hotel that I used to get into Portsmouth city centre and back. The hotel and room were clean and the decour was lovely. The staff were super friendly and helpful. There was plenty of choice for breakfast, and it was delicious.
Location on arrival looked a bit busy and we thought it would be noisy. Wrong. You could hear no noise from the busy road outside or from the pub. Room was comfortable. We didn't book breakfast but could have had it. Our friends did. It looked fabulous and was great value for money. We've actually booked again for another stay when sailing from Portsmouth.
The hotel has parking permit for the guests.
It is easily reachable with busses from "the Hard" bus and coach station.
A taxi took around 8£ midday price.
There is a wide well litt lounge and the place as a whole has a cosy feel about it.
I will definitely return should I come to Portsmouth again.
Recommended.
Fantastic location to explore Portsmouth.
It’s right in the heart of Gunwharf Quays with all of its shops, bars and restaurants. Parking is below the shopping centre - the hotel will validate your ticket for a free first 24hrs then £2 a day there after. Very helpful friendly staff.
A nice and pleasant stay with my family. Clean and comfortable hotel room with excellent breakfast buffet. It is worth to mention staff working there . They are all fantastic. Thank you Holiday Inn Express in Portsmouth. We will definitely stay in this place in the future !❤️
Pretty central and close to Portsmouth Harbour train station. Close to entertainment area Gun Wharf and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, all within a few minutes walk. A small hotel above a pub, with good pub food. Room rate was reasonable for this time of year.
Location of hotel which was away from Portsmouth City Centre but at the same time well placed for that, Gunwharf Quays and of course Southsea seafront including the Common. Also close to harbour and ferry links which we used. Great to watch the boats.
Location could not have been better - right across the road from Portsmouth Harbour railway station. View from my window was HMS Warrior. Nice big bathroom and shower. Great included breakfast at the neighbouring Keppels Head hotel.
Super cozy, clean and homely. I traveled down to Portsmouth with my two little children as third daddy is in the Royal Navy so we came for his return home from a deployment, this property couldn’t of been more perfect for us.
The most important point make me come again is the location. This is not the first or last time for me in this lovely hotel, it’s my only one distinction in Portsmouth. Especially after the great renovation they did.
very good hotel, good location, the price including breakfast is very good. The food is also good, the staff is very friendly, parking is free. I don't think we need more. Everything is excellent
The location is perfect if you want to be near the Portsmouth naval museum. Don't expect this to be like staying in a modern concrete block hotel. This is an old beautiful hotel.
The Hotel is close to the Hovercraft station, Gunwharf Quays & Portsmouth Town centre. We didn't move the car for 4 days as walked or used public transport.
