A tired old hotel with a Holiday Inn sign
It’s quite a tired old property reminiscent of the 60s. The carpeted were worn, paint on the woodwork was peeling. There was practically no soundproofing meaning we could hear everything going on in the adjacent rooms and those above and below. The mattress left both of us in pain the next morning.
On balance, the staff were welcoming and willing to assist with any requests. The location near Clarence Pier was great.
Overall, it’s not what I expected from a Holiday Inn. I tend to gravitate towards the Holiday Inn chain as I can usually expect a modern and comfortable hotel. On this occasion, it did not meet that expectation.

Overcharged for parking
No complaints about the hotel whatsoever. Breakfast was great.
I booked the parking when I booked the room through hotels.com and it was £44
Parking is £5 from the hotel.

Nice but looking tired and tatty
We have stayed at the Holiday Inn, Portsmouth for many many years as its at a good location and has comfortable rooms.
The service is good but weve noticed a determination in the fixtures and fittings over the padt couple of years. This trip in December 2024, the deterioration has got worse with tired looking rooms worn and dirty carpets and bathrooms in need of a refresh. The whole hotel really needs a full refurbishment. Just looking out of the windows, the window sills are dirty and covered in a green slime. However, the reception staff are always nice and courteous. Come on IHG spend some money and give this lovely hotel a makeover.....but that costs money doesn't it!

No Heating at Night
Reception staff was not really welcoming and not providing enough information about the hotel facility without we are asking for it, rooms were out dated and heater was not turned on , there was no way to control it as it was central heating, radiator never turned on during winter night and they provided portable heater but you are paying around £100 per night and you sleep in a cold room was not acceptable, I wouldn’t recommend and never will stay again ever

Good service… but
Good service but window did not shut completely in room and it looked like
Temperature control did not work either. Also coffee maker did not work. But there was a kettle and that worked fine. Room was clean as expected.
Also this is the second time I have stayed here and the bar ran out of slimline tonic both times!
