"Stayed with 10 friends with average age of 60. Photos of house interior on Vrbo are generally accurate - those on the website for Wheathill show different furniture and soft furnishings. Overall1930s shabby chic vibe is very nice and as expected. Good location in rural residential area10 mins walk to nearest shop and a pub. Neighbours are very close by and pay close attention to people coming and going. Rooms were clean and beds had clean white bedding. Mattresses were very comfortable. There...

Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This was my first time staying at the Holiday Inn express in gunwharf quays. Me and my partner arrived in Portsmouth at 11. Check in wasn’t until 3pm. They were very accommodating with regards to putting our suitcase into storage whilst walking around, which is a secured room which the staff take you to and wait until you have done it. On check in time, the lady on reception was very helpful. It was also my other half’s birthday, so they gave us a complemtary drinks voucher to use at the bar. All the staff were helpful and friendly, the breakfast was lovely, nothing to complain about at all!. The rooms were very clean, and added bonus the air con was working, after booking I received a message to say that the air con was being fixed and wouldn’t be working when we arrived! This hotel I would definitely recommend, and 100% worth the price!!"

"Lovely hotel. Comfy beds. Fab facilities. Would recommend."

ibis budget Southampton Centre

10/10 Excellent

"For a budget room this was ideal. Compact but clean and comfortable beds. Perfect location as could walk into Southampton centre and the docks. Continental breakfast but enough variety to fill you up. On arrival we was greeted by Simon on reception who was extremely helpful and polite and gave some excellent local knowledge for walks on the docks and other areas, thank you."

The Langstone Quays

8/10 Good

"Hotel location is really nice by the sea. There appears to be enough parking. Staff is very kind and helpful. Rooms don't have A/C which is massive downside. Swimming pool is quite small but sauna, steam room and jacuzzi is nice. Restaurant offers nice food with gluten free options too."

Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour

10/10 Excellent

"All worked very well for our needs. Very nice restraint"
