Top Portswood Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Portsmouth by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and nicely presented. Towels were lovely and fluffy. The staff we spoke to were very helpful and friendly. Down side, the bar staff were ok but the service was hit and miss. Also, choice of drinks a bit limited and expensive. However overall, the hotel was okay."

The Crown Manor House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It’s the second time I’ve stayed at the Crown. Lyndhurst is my home town so staying at this hotel brings back many memories from my childhood. The staff are really attentive. We had a fabulous breakfast. The room was clean and comfortable but looking a little tired but I’m assuming this is because it’s end of season and will have a touch of paint during the winter downtime. I will stay again next time as love the character of the hotel ❤️"

Meon Valley Hotel, Spa & Golf

8/10 Good

"Very welcoming and friendly. We arrived after midnight and left very early the next day so didn’t have much experience of the facilities but the receptionist was very helpful, The only negative was that the central heating came on at 5 and the radiators needed bleeding so it sounded like someone was running a bath, Not an issue to us as we were leaving early and we did point it out so that they could put right for next guests. The hotel looked lovely though and we were sorry not to be able to take advantage of more of the facilities."

The Winchester Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Rooms were good and we were travelling as a family at short notice and they managed to put the rooms next to each other as no adjoining rooms were available. Good drinks/tea/coffee/water/biscuits etc provided in the room. Our 13 year old used the pool but luckily the 11 year old had something else to do as they're only allowed in for just 1 hour a day which is rather restrictive. We would have like to have breakfast but it was a little pricey and room service added £4 per tray. It would have been good if we could have ordered a tray to share but that's not available so we skipped breakfast at the hotel. Very comfy beds!"
