Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for one night prior to getting the ferry to the Isle of Wight . Great that we had free 24 hour parking and breakfast included."

voco Southampton by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"A great stay as usual, rooms are lovely and dinner and breakfast excellent. Staff are friendly and helpful, we always stay here when we are in Southampton"

Meon Valley Hotel, Spa & Golf

10/10 Excellent

"The Spa was really good, and it was all working. vary chilled out setting. Rooms were spacious, not modern but good and clean."

Leonardo Hotel Southampton

8/10 Good

"Clean room although over the top amount of bleach used in the bathroom. Bed comfortable but pillows not. Annoyingly located in the middle of a roundabout, difficult to access and no parking. We were on floor 2 and the other family of guests thought it totally fine to use the hallway as a play area and shout at each other outside our room. (Not the hotels fault but demonstrates the type of customer). Cheap and cheerful last minute booking. Not going to be rushing back! Nice bar though."

Holiday Inn Portsmouth by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Really clean and friendly staff team"

Portsmouth Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was very relaxing & friendly staff."

The Crown Manor House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Excellent location for our needs, good value and friendly staff."

DoubleTree by Hilton Southampton

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property located in Chilwack, just outside the main Southampton area. The property is well maintained with well appointed rooms and amenities. Our rooms were spacious and bright, even with being located on the 1st floor. We had opted for the breakfast included rate, and thankful we were for the choice. Lovely tea, coffee, fruit, pastries, cereal as well as hot items. The hotel itself is a little outside the city centre, so a taxi is highly recommended for about 15 quid. We headed back into the city centre last night for a couple for a couple of drinks and food at the Scholars Arms. Again, great experience. Remember, you have to order at the bar as there is no table service. One single complaint about the hotel, if I may, our bed was not comfortable at all. It was like sleeping on the box spring only, as the mattress was either not existent or needed to be replaced. Otherwise, lovely!!"

The Langstone Quays

8/10 Good

"Parking is great, staff are helpful, breakfast is ok, rooms are clean"
