Moxy Southampton

10/10 Excellent

"We had a quick overnight before boarding our cruise. The hotel is great. Right next to a shopping mall, very convenient location. The staff are fantastic, very responsive and helpful. The facilities are modern and well maintained. I liked the decoration too. We will definitely stay here again. THANK YOU!"

New Place

8/10 Good

"Restaurant was a bit of a let down. One of our party was ceoliac . When reviewing the menu on line there were plenty of gluten free options. When we arrived at the restaurant there was less option has they had changed there menu with out updating it on line. Also staff were unable to advise us on gluten free due to new policies and regulations. Our gluten free member ended up having 3 starters which is all she could work out that was definitely gluten free but not has a choice but for the need to eat. Yet next morning when having breakfast the staff were willing to advise what g/f was available and willing to do g/f toast. Our gluten free member declined breakfast both morning despite having paid for it has she had lost confidence in the kitchen."

Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived shortly before midnight and the staff was very helpful in getting us checked in quickly and finding food. The hotel rooms were very nice and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The location near Old Town and the cruise port were ideal. Highly recommended!!!"

Novotel Southampton

10/10 Excellent

"As family we needed a room to crash after a day trip to Peppa Pigs World. Before I arriving I already knew the Air Con and Wi Fi weren’t working. However there were solutions to the problems. For me getting free hot milk from the bar for my toddler was a big deal. The room itself was spacious with a double bed and double sofa bed. We’re only there for one night so the hotel managed my expectations before arriving."

Holiday Inn Portsmouth by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall reasonably good. Room was fine, but the air conditioning didn't work (a problem in a number of rooms that weekend). Check-in was very slow, said to be because of a new computer system. Quiet, sea view (it was 5th floor and extra). Also, and as with a previous room, the shower drained very slowly and the outlet was pretty bunged up with hair (don't look!). We paid for parking with the booking and since there was no space in the hotel car park we got a voucher to park in the road outside, which was fine. We rarely saw any spaces in the car park. Nice to have a bar for a night cap, and breakfast (also included) was pretty good, we were just amused by the lethargy of the staff around there. Not sure we've ever seen two people work so slowly, chatting on the side. At one point I counted six tables that needed clearing and quests walking round looking for tables and eventually clearing their own. Not experienced things this bad for a while. We stayed two nights and experienced the same each morning."
