"Such a lovely hotel. Room was clean and bed was comfortable might have been too comfortable. Breakfast was amazing so much choice and laid out nicely. We will be back"

Holiday Inn Portsmouth by IHG

8/10 Good

"Lovely location but the hotel is very dated and in need of updating and decorating, there are no usb ports in the room so don't forget to bring a plug! and parking is very limited however reception staff ( who are lovely) will give you an on street parking permit this is for 12 hours so you need to be mindful of that Drinks are expensive at the bar,we didn't eat at the hotel but the food prices looked more reasonable!"

Second Nature Southampton

10/10 Excellent

"We had a nice one night stay before our cruise. If you are cruising it is located a little further off the center but still manageable and walkable depending on what cruise ship you are on) Hotel was clean, welcoming and had lots of extras I usually do not see at a hotel. Like a kitchenette, dishwasher and washing machine(which we did not use but an added bonus for travellers). They gave us a room with the view of the park… was nice."
