Leonardo Hotel Southampton

"The only problem we had was our bath tub would not drain and they couldn’t fix it. Unfortunately they wouldn’t give me a credit for the room."

Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was lovely and clean, missing a shelf in the bathroom but otherwise in great condition. We found the mattress to be too hard but the room was quiet with a nice view from the window. Breakfast was nice and the dining room wasn't crowded, the only thing missing for us was fried eggs. The hotel is in an excellent location, close to the ships and Gunwharf Quay shops, cheap/free parking was another bonus. We would return to this hotel."
