Breakfast was very good as was our evening meal in The Captain's Table restaurant at the hotel. There was free parking in a small car park at the side of the hotel and we were allowed to stay until 2pm after checking out, which was helpful. The hotel is ideally situated for visiting the Historic Dockyard, Gunwharf Quays outlet shopping, and the Spinnaker Tower and it is only a short walk to Old Portsmouth. The train, IOW ferry terminal and buses are opposite the hotel. There was daily room service. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.
Just 4 minutes’ walk from Cosham town centre, the The Red Lion by Innkeeper's Collection offers en suite rooms alongside its bar and pizza kitchen.

The staff was amicable, polite and professional. They upgraded my room to a better one when they realized that my wife, my 8-year-old boy, and I did not fit in the room I had booked via booking. Breakfast was great!

An important harbour for centuries, Portsmouth counts with one of the busiest ferry piers in the United Kingdom, has the oldest dry dock still in use in the world. Its Historic Dockyard is home to famous British ships like Lord Nelson's flagship HMS Victory, the Mary Rose and the HMS Warrior.
In the picturesque Old Town you’ll find typical English pubs, coloured houses, and small independent shops. It also has a Fish Market provided by the city’s small fishing fleet. In Old Portsmouth is possible to find smaller hotels, B&B’s and guest houses, some of them not far from the ferry harbour.
The Gunwharf Quays are a modernly renovated shopping area, home to the Spinnaker Tower, while the centre has an ever-growing number of shops. Don’t miss Commercial Road and the Cascades Shopping Centre. Hotels in Portsmouth’s city centre allow you to be close to everything what the city has to offer.
For relaxing moments, Portsdown Hill allows panoramic views over the city and the Isle of Wight. During summer, its sandy beaches are a must.

Having spent most of my naval career have seen a lot of changes in Portsmouth some good some not so good. I strongly recommend visiting the Royal Dockyard and the Ship Anson pub afterwards ( a great pub with a good selection of beers & food)

We only stayed in the dock land area so did not see anything else of Portsmouth, but could have spent much more time here anyway! The historic dockyard with Warrior, Victory, Mary Rose and so much more is a simply superb experience. The Gunwharf Quays is now a shopping and restaurant haven. We ate at the Cozy Club which had excellent food and views across the harbor. We also walked around to the historic Round Tower/Square Tower area which has been restored. The very, very best place to go is the Still and West pub & restaurant on the point there. Amazing food, atmosphere, and ships constantly passing the windows. I would live in this pub! Everything we went to was walking distance, and the train and bus station was opposite our hotel should we have wanted to travel further afield.

My reason for going to Portsmouth was then Dockyard and Naval Museums, easily taking all of my few days exploring. HMS Warrior, HMS Victory, the Submarine visit, the many museums, the bay trip, the only downside was the long lines of people for all these magnificent examples of Britain's former naval power and the opportunity to clamber aboard and around. The whole dockyard area just reeks of history packed into every square foot both on-shore and in the bay.
A fabulous local bus network, superb shopping and many other museums. Along with it's share of pubs and restaurants for all pockets it was difficult to fit as much in as I did in just four days.
The only thing that I would want to avoid the next time is the rain.
The long line of to enter the docks, 45 minutes or an hour or more without any cover does mean you can get washed out if you haven't wrapped up warm and dry.

This city, historical home of Britain's Naval Base houses treasures you can't see anywhere else. HMS Victory, the ship Admiral Nelson died in battle is a sight to behold. Excellent audio helps with the tour. The HMS Mary Rose, the 14th century ship on display in an interpretive centre is fascinating. HMS Warrior, the biggest iron hulled warship in the world and other ships available for touring. Boat tours of the harbour or a ferry via the famous hovercraft to Isle of Wight. The D-Day Interpretive Centre and the last remaining craft that landed on the beaches of Normandy there to walk through. A coastal walk that is breathtaking. So, so much to discover and enjoy. We have to go back.

I was only in Portsmouth as I using the Brittany Ferries . Over the last 35 years my son had lived here at some time so I know all the attractions. I did not visit any on this holiday trip.
However the City is well worth a visit to see the Navel History

There are shed loads to do and see in and arround Portsmouth. Loads of good caffee life. Food can be expensive , you need to look round, there are good offers to be had. Favourite sites, Historic dockyard, D day museum, Southsea castle. Favourite place to eat, Fish and chip shop on the Hard.
Great little hotel right next to Portsmouth Harbour: convenient for rail, Isle of Wight ferry, Gunwharf Quays, and the historic Dockyard.
Good standard of cleanliness throughout, food was good quality and quantity at reasonable price, and the staff were excellent. Knows the market it is catering for and obviously very much a "Navy" establishment.
Travelling for business - even allowed me to park all day following check-out, which they didn't have to but was greatly appreciated. Will be booking to stay again.
The equidistance of the Old Portsmouth/Gunwharf Quays and Southsea seaside neighborhoods location of this Holiday Inn is probably its strongest point.Within a 10-15' walking radius, you've got all the action and sightseeings!
You can tell that you are in a global. leading Hotel chain,most of the facilities and comfort are there and ticking most boxes.Very clean room and good value for money.
This hotel is in a great location, only a few minutes walk away from Southsea seafront. We were taking the IOW hovercraft and the terminal is only about 30 minutes walk away. The breakfast is lovely and parking is good as the hotel can give you a permit to park on the road. Would recommend Twins Chinese restaurant.
Excellent location in Old Portsmouth
On the 25 bus route.
Hotel arranged a local parking permit
Well placed for access to the Historic Dock Yard, Spinnaker Tower, Gunwharf Quay, Cathedral and Clarence Pier and a good selection of pubs and restaurants within easy walking distance

The George is a very pleasant stay. Premises are not modern so there are not plush facilities that may be found in other hotels, but it was clean and comfortable. Price was very fair and breakfast was cooked to order and good. Staff friendly and position excellent. Thankyou
The staff/owners were absolutely lovely. They made every effort to anticipate our every need and to make us comfortable. The hotel is adorable. Nice little "extra touches" throughout. What a great stay! This was the highlight of our entire 3 week trip to England.
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.
The breakfast was very nice, and the location is perfect for a trip to Gunwharf Quays, and Portsmouth's many attractions, there was parking right next to the hotel, and the views from our room of Spinnaker Tower and one of the old ships in docks was great.
Location very good. Benefit of parking on site. Short walk to sea front, pier and buses to Portsmouth, Gunwharf Quays and historic dockyard. Boating lake/park opposite.
Cooked breakfast at hotel very good, fresh, hot and plentiful. Spacious room.
Very clean room, large and spotless bathroom, very friendly and helpful staff, free parking with easy access to the hotel. Good choice for breakfast. Ordering from the restaurant and getting it sent to the room was very quick and easy.
Location is super for those using the ferries and for shopping. The rooms are basic but acceptable with a soft bed and nice linen. They hotel has one issue that caused me to cancel a planned future booking, read negative comment below
Hotel was clean and comfortable, with private, secure parking (and public parking close by if necessary). Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The location is fantastic for the Historic Dockyards and Old Portsmouth, Gunwharf Quays.
Good location, easy to get to and plenty of disabled parking. Room was spacious and comfortable with walk-in shower. All staff were excellent. We stayed in three Marriott hotels on this trip and Portsmouth was by far the best.
An excellent location, at Gunwharf Quays and near to Portsmouth Harbour station and the Historic Dockyard. A great welcome from Barry, a very comfortable and practical flat, and an amazing view from the ninth floor.
Great location for easy access to Gunwharf Quays, Old Portsmouth, Southsea and the IoW. Cheap parking in the Gunwharf car park. The room was basic but okay.
The staff were pleasant and helpful.
The staff at this boutique no children hotel was great. Our room was very nice. We had breakfast made to order both days and the city of Portsmouth had so much to offer.
