Above and beyond service for a reasonable price. The bed was so comfortable, woke up feeling great despite my hangover! The fantastic breakfast served to my room quickly made me feel more alive. Although the cooked breakfast needs to specify that it comes with baked beans. Very grateful that the beans and tomatoes came in separate dishes. Loved that!

There was lots of noise at night, felt like construction work was going on, this is the main issue we have got.
Swimming pool is small and have limited of 10 ppl at a time, we didn’t get chance to use it unfortunately.
Otherwise it was lovely to stay and looked clean.

This hotel is conveniently located, just a 5-minute walk from Southampton Central Station. The building itself is old, but it's well-maintained. I appreciated having a bathtub. The morning buffet didn't have a huge variety, but the food was delicious, and most importantly, the staff's hospitality was absolutely wonderful.

The hotel is quite close to the train station, and the environment is acceptable. Don't expect good service though. My room card didn't work when I checked in at night, so I couldn't open the door. They said they'd make a working card and slide it under my door later that night, but they never did. It was also really hot and there was no air conditioning.

Great location for cruises since it is just outside of the gate. Also plenty of shoppings nearby to get your last minute stuff before going on your cruises.

Yet another brilliant stay at the Novotel in Southampton.
Room was clean, comfortable and has the added bonus of windows that open.
The staff are super help with a can-do attitude and nothing is too much of a problem.
The sauna was much needed after a long day.
The location is excellent with places to eat nearby as well as shops.
Look forward to my next visit to the hotel.
