Top Shanklin Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was amazing. Staff very helpful. Location to outlet mall and train station perfect. The room was clean but small. Unfortunately, they had Octoberfest both nights we were there. Loud music and drunks in the open air arena kept us awake until midnight with the music and yelling. Then the music shut down but the party-goers remained shouting and laughing. We had no sleep until about 2 am both nights. If you stay here, you should request a room away from that side of the mall. I’m sure they have other venues that cause the same noise issue…"

The Langstone Quays

10/10 Excellent

"Second visit, great stay. Warm welcome by staff -at reception, breakfast and the leisure area, all very professional. Loved the breakfast buffet and setting, and enjoyed the use of leisure facilities. Plenty of parking, and great location to find. You do need a car/taxi if you plan to eat outside the hotel. Room was very comfortable, and we were complimentary upgraded to one with a view. If I was being really picky the one thing that would have improved the stay is a revamp on the jacuzzi - it was much colder temp than the pool itself, and the jets were poor - perhaps just need their nozzle directions adjusted. Other half loved the sauna and steam room whilst I was swimming."

Luccombe Hall Hotel

"I don’t know what to say, elite. Everything perfect."
