Top Portsmouth City Centre Hotel Reviews

voco Southampton by IHG

8/10 Good

"Room was excellent, floor to ceiling windows, a streaming TV, and a bed as comfortable as a cloud. However, the lady on breakfast was quite rude, and breakfast was a huge disappointment. I was there for half 6 and the eggs were hard, bacon overdone and juices were either not shaken properly or watered down. A great stay, but let down by a poor breakfast experience."
