Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour

Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour

Southampton|1.14km from city center

Latest booking 11 hrs ago

I returned to the Leonardo Royal Southampton a year after my last stay to visit the nearby boat show. Check in time is quite late at 16:00 but I checked in online and received an email at 15:15 to say my room was ready. Lovely executive room with a balcony overlooking Southampton. Nice touches like a handwritten welcome note with chocolates on the bed and a Nespresso machine in addition to the kettle and tea/coffee facilities. Very comfortable bed and a very quiet room despite the hotel being full. Prompt, attentive service from the bar and they went above and beyond by fetching Worcestershire sauce to add to my guests tomato juice! I was delighted to see that the bar area has been decorated and the hotel generally was looking more loved with signs of investment. The pool and spa area has also been decorated and was generally looking smarter. It is great that the pool is open from 06:30 to allow a swim before breakfast. The breakfast buffet in Leo's was excellent with a good range of food available. Plenty of freshly cooked hot items available for the full English with smiling, friendly staff toping items up as required. Congratulations to the management for all your efforts in these difficult times for the hospitality industry, these are certainly paying off. I hope that those who have had a less positive experience than me will give you another try. I will certainly be back.

Holiday Inn Southampton

Holiday Inn Southampton

Southampton|1.2km from city center
We booked this hotel at very short notice and had to pay quite a top rate for an Executive Double as there were only four rooms left. We were attending the Womens Euro 22 match at St.Mary’s Stadium in Southampton and there were no hotels close to the stadium. Particularly with parking. Knowing that there was extreme difficulties in parking at at the Stadium we asked the hotel to book us a taxi to and from the stadium at the times we requested. They did so and kindly emailed confirmation . The Hotel is situated adjacent to one of the Cruise terminal and is perfect for a pre cruise or post cruise stay and a handy cruise parking is available.it is also close by the city centre within walking distance. Our room was excellent, overlooking the terminal. It had air conditioning, safe, a king double bed, some complimentary goodies like a small bottle of Prosecco, water and Kit-Kats. The bathroom too was roomy with hand basin, toilet and walk in shower. Again all clean and tidy. There was a very small problem with noise from the terminal with the early arrival of a cruise ship but nothing untoward. We ate breakfast in the hotel which was included in the rate. There were excellent choices of fruit, yoghurts, cheeses, cereals and jams etc. along with good choices in the good old full English breakfast. All the items were well cooked and hot. Save the fried eggs which are always well done in most hotels unless individually cooked. It was do your own toast , coffee or tea. Again choices of all of these were available. Despite other reviews we thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast and have absolutely no complaints at all. It certainly compared favourably with the buffet style breakfasts on a cruise ship, of which we have done many. We found all of the staff friendly , helpful and courteous. Check in and out was very easy and there is a car park charge but that happens in other hotels too. Overal, although a little expensive our stay was enjoyable and pleasant.

Ibis Southampton Centre

Ibis Southampton Centre

Southampton|0.83km from city center
My 2nd Stay for another Theatre trip this year, booking and parking is easy and it's very convenient for the Theatre and shops, arrival was not very good, a new guy was alone on the front desk and it took at least ten mins to check in (only 1 person in front of me), it was so slow someone standing at the bar walked out, once I finally did get my key card it didn't work, so I and another female guest had to return to reception for cards that did work, the hallway carpet is looking very worn and dated, the aircon not that efficient and the tv unlevel (room 233), the twin beds were smaller than expected and towels were very scarce, for the price I wasn't impressed, but the room fulfilled it's role for the night, the downstairs area is immaculate and breakfast choice very, very good, I went to breakie at just after 8am on the Saturday (24th Sept 22), the orange juice ran out and I told a very nice and helpful female waitress about the problem, and she instantly resolved the problem, people watching as you do, I did notice that this waitress worked her socks off, I would also like to praise a very attractive blonde female hotel guest wearing a Arvia tracksuit, this young lady with a pony tail was extremely courteous to A LOT of people within the restaurant, she constantly and consistently gave way to people as they and she walked about getting their breakfast, she constantly smiled and was the apitamy of courtesy and politeness, i think i saw Georgia on her top, the boat show was on and with the Arvia Launching this year, would imagine she was there (with other colleagues) as PR for the new ship ?. The ibis and near by Novotel do see a lot of cruise people and guests stay and she was a great advert for the Arvia as was the young waitress for Ibis. To Recap; Starting to look dated upstairs, slow booking in process, slightly ”inflated” price, exceptional breakfast and courtesy by staff and other guests, I would stay again and would recommend the Ibis, Southampton for a theatre or shopping break etc.

The Star Hotel

We stayed at the The Star Hotel in October 2021 and again in Feb 2023 and nothing much has changed Good points Location is excellent Breakfast is really good Bed was really comfy and lovely clean sheets that smelled fresh £6 to park for a day in the centre of Southampton is excellent The team that we encountered for breakfast and the bar were great Ok points The room was cleanish on the surface but the decor needed attention also dust and dirt in all the corners Bar was open drinks were a good price £8.70 for a large wine and a pint Bad Points The bathroom looked ok on the surface but was actually dirty with manky hair on the floor , the fixtures are chipped , peeling and tired and the toilet roll holder kept on dropping on the floor and the ceiling had peeling paint and mould all over it . Wi-Fi rubbish I did mention it on the first night at reception but it didn’t improve over the two nights we stayed Saturday morning we were woken up with building work near our room and right outside my mums room never mentioned when we checked in. £50 deposit for damages , in my opinion nothing in the room is worth £50 so why charge ??? When I asked when it would refunded I was told up to 5 days Bad smell in the corridor to our rooms Heat in the hotel is phenomenal and in our room we couldn’t turn the radiator down as it was enclosed and was on all night We paid £300 for two rooms for two nights , it’s a lot of money for a bed and a breakfast not so sure we would stay again
Meon Valley Hotel, Golf & Country Club

Meon Valley Hotel, Golf & Country Club

Southampton

Latest booking 9 hrs ago

I had stayed in this hotel many moons ago when it was part of the to Marriott group, I understand it is now Ellite /Britannia hotels and there is nothing ellite about it. Check in time is 4 pm, and checkout 10 am, that gives six hours to clean and turn around the vacated rooms, So you would expect them to be absolutely spotless, room was clean enough, it smelled of smoking but went, when the windows opened, few hairs in the bath tub, the wooden cabinets smelled musty and dust on lamps, but the bed was clean and so was the bedding. On check-in I didn’t realise it was 4pm, I assumed it would be 2 pm or 3 pm at the latest. I asked if any of the rooms were serviced so I could check in early, I was told there were lots of rooms ready but you have to pay £20 extra to check-in early regardless of the fact they ready, I was due to be at a wedding at 5 pm, I had to accept the £20 payment, I was not impressed as this took my one night stay in this hotel to £189 for the night. In comparison I could get a one night stay in the Park Plaza, Waterloo for the same price in London! This hotel is not worth that much a night. The hotel was like a maze and had to go upstairs along creaky corridors carrying a suitcase case up more stairs with no accessibility by lift to my room (room 657) Room had the very basics cheap nasty shampoo, A few sachets of tea and coffee, towels but no bottled water. At night I could hear a few guests from other rooms, it didn’t disturb me. The pool is absolute mess, it had a pipe going from the hot water tap into the pool, which I burnt my bottom on and my husband burned his thumb, I can only assume the heater doesn’t work so it’s the only way they’ve got to heat the pool, The water didn’t look very good I wonder if the filter was working? In photographs on booking.com their shows a Jacuzzi, there isn’t one! there hasn’t been a working for more than 10 months, and the broken one has now been removed altogether, I think it’s very misleading. I don’t like to book a hotel without a pool and a Jacuzzi, I like to relax why I’m away from home. The pool look too scary to go into, and there was no Jacuzzi! Breakfast wasn’t too bad, Choice of cereals, fruit juices and cooked breakfast, no croissants or pastries. Coffee was horrible. Breakfast is advertised until 10am but they closed and locked the doors at 9:58, I only made it with 10 minutes to spare, it wasn’t explained me that breakfast actually ended at 10. I would assume people could still go for breakfast at 10 and still have time to sit down and eat, this is not the case! Would I stay here again absolutely not! it is probably a £50 a night budget hotel in the middle of nowhere unless you are playing golf I really wouldn’t bother. Disappointed that booking.com gives this hotel four stars.
Hunters Lodge Guest House

Hunters Lodge Guest House

Southampton|1km from city center
My wife booked this via *********** for an overnight stay before we left for our cruise. On arrival we were greeted by a foreign lady who didn’t speak much English. We explained who we were and she went and got us a key but then said we had to pay an extra £20 for our young son. We asked why and she could not explain so asked us to call the owner as it was her instructions. We spoke with the lady who owned the place who was quite arrogant and again her English was not that good. She advised that she was boarding a flight in 15mins and we needed to pay £40 cash or leave. We explained it was only £20 so why was it now £40 she said as there was x3 people we had only booked for one person. We explained that we had accidentally booked the family room for one person but this was corrected and we had a confirmation email from ***********. She said they never updated her so we would have to contact them or pay up. We said we would call them as I was on the phone to *********** the lady who gave us the key came to the room and told us she was instructed to take the key back. Literally a few minutes after getting off the phone to the owner. We were then told to speak with the owner again who re-iterated we paid or left. We asked about the £100 we paid via *********** and she refused to refund this saying we had to contact them. We advised we would call the police as this appeared to be a scam. But she just said leave or pay. I then got onto *********** who confirmed the booking was made initially for three people but then amended and they would call the owner but she refused to answer. In the end we had a young child and we’re unlikely to find something else so we paid and stayed the night. The room was basic and clean and the beds were comfortable but there was loud music and a dog barking all night. On looking out the window there was gangs of people hanging around making us nervous as we had all our cases in the car parked outside. I would not recommend this place and it was such a downer to the start of our holiday. I have contacted Booking .com and have also noted similar practices with the owner doing this to other people. Book at your own peril!

Holiday Inn Express Southampton - West
3.9/5107 Reviews
We've just stayed for 1 night pre cruise. The room is slightly dated but clean and comfortable. Plenty of room. Downstairs was nice. Clean and lots of space to sit and chill. Breakfast was nice. Staff were brilliant. Friendly and very helpful. Nothing was too much. A few small issues with the room (nobody's fault just one of those things) the staff went beyond to help and accommodate us. Can't fault them at all. Thank you.
Highfield House Hotel
3.7/58 Reviews
When I booked, I saw the route closest to the school, but the airport bus went down and we carried the luggage for more than half an hour. If there is no baggage for about 15-20 minutes, the bus can take several stops. Pure English breakfast, breaded omelette bacon ham and potatoes, as well as some side dishes and small West Point, fruit milk cereal tea bags and so on are simple and clean, in short to meet the demand. Parking is available at the hotel entrance. There is no elevator in the three-storey building. Narrow stairs, on the day of check-in, a waiter at the front desk was very nice, helped us carry the luggage upstairs, because I came to study so I brought a lot of luggage. On the day of check-out, only one waiter was busy at the front desk, so our mother and daughter It’s really a shame for the two to move down from the third floor. It is suitable for children with a quiet night and the rooms are air conditioned.

Currently staying at the Premier Inn (Southampton West) for one night prior to our cruise from Southampton today. We have had a wonderful overnight stay and I can thoroughly recommend this hotel if you are heading to the cruise terminals and fancy coming down early. A big thank you to the team on reception and especially the girls in the kitchen as they work so hard. We will definitely be back next time! Many thanks!!

Ennios Boutique Hotel
4.5/550 Reviews
This review is for an overnight stay of 4 travelers (DH, DS, DBIL, and myself). We arrived early in the morning after disembarking on a 10 day cruise. We were greeted by Joe, who was most helpful and welcoming. We spent the day on a walking excursion and returned back to the hotel around 3 pm. Our chilled rooms were a welcome upon returning with temperatures reaching into the low 90s. We again were we greeted by Joe in the morning to take our breakfast order, call for a taxi, and brought our luggage down to the lobby for us. WOW, that’s great service! The hotel is small (only 10 rooms), with no elevator, and air conditioning only in the rooms. There is a lovely bar and delicious restaurant in this quaint boutique. With charming accommodations, wonderful service - thank you, Joe, convenient location we would recommend Ennios Boutique for unique stay.
Southampton Serviced Apartments
4/521 Reviews
Clean apartment & great to eat in if we chose to & cook. I wouldn’t be able to stay again as I need good blinds/curtains blocking light in the morning as I can’t sleep in a bright room so I really didn’t sleep well at all which then affects your energy on the days out you have planned. Was also surprised by the cords on the blinds just hanging as this could be a fatal accident for a very young child. It’s an apartment so guests above/below etc may affect your stay, luckily my kids didn’t wake up with the noise in the evening coming from above so didn’t totally ruin our stay there. There were parking issues on a couple of the days due to other cars not parking correctly to allow room for more cars to fit where they should. White lines being painted to make the spaces more clear would really help. Normally when staying somewhere you get more complimentary items. There was some soap & washing up liquid but we wasn’t able to have a coffee/tea as soon as we got there as there weren’t any of the sachets similar to how you would get in hotel room.
