Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour
This hotel was clean, and the rooms were spacious. Customer Service was outstanding. It’s very very close to the cruise port. There were many restaurant/pubs nearby! We would definitely stay there again!

Novotel Southampton
Overall a great stay. Location perfect for walking to/from Cruise Port and city centre. Pool and sauna lovely to chill out. Found it odd that the toilet in our room is separate from the rest of the bathroom. Comfortable bed and plenty amenities in room.
