Top Freshwater Bay Hotel Reviews

Second Nature Southampton

10/10 Excellent

"Use this hotel for pre-cruises. Great location and not too far from the city HighStreet area, walking to the ferry or easy access for some great pub/eateries around the corner. Own eatery for breakfast is also quite good and there is the option of eating in the room with your own food if that is your preference. Disappointed this time as the eatery was closed down for the evening due to ??? Staff are very friendly and willing to help you when needed. See you next time when we are cruising out of Southampton !"

Hampton by Hilton Bournemouth

10/10 Excellent

"Tuile du plancher de la toilette brisée."

Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour

8/10 Good

"Very kind to let us checkin early. Excellent location and room clean. Did not care for the airfreshener smell used in common areas though. Breakfast was really good and lots of variety."

Village Hotel Bournemouth

8/10 Good

"What you’d expect from a Village hotel. Clean, convenient and busy. Food offerings were basic and fairly pricey, bar was busy and with plenty of sports shown on the array of TVs. Hotel is conveniently located between Bournemouth and Christchurch and has good capacity. Regrettably they have no secure bike storage and don’t permit them to be taken to rooms."

Novotel Southampton

10/10 Excellent

"We would stay there again Location very 👍"

Albion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely room, but lacking a chest of drawers and a surface to put things. Sensational view. Imaginative dining menu."

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Lovely view over garden and pool.Staff friendly,and our room was spacious and comfortable.bus stop into Bournemouth is five minutes walk.A good stay."

Moxy Southampton

8/10 Good

"Clean room, convenient location, but the room is small, only one chair available to sit."

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed in a family room on the first floor which was spacious and clean with a sea view. The furnishing in general was adequate but quite dated. This was reflected throughout the hotel. The bath was rusty which meant we relied on the shower which was good. The balcony door wasn’t secure with a flimsy catch. The radiator although not used was very rusty in need of maintenance. The decoration in the public areas was better in general it felt like the hotel needed a refurb"
