Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour
Staff were friendly, hotel decor itself is a bit tired but the rooms have been modernised to a degree. Bed was comfy but the aircon was unbelievably loud.

Royal Maritime Hotel
Clean room. Comfy bed. Breakfast was ok. Would of preferred more choice of coffee. Scrambled egg was watery. Mushrooms were very tasty. Body wash was provided but no shampoo. Staff helpful. Pool was small and like a warm bath. It was also a bit difficult to find. Could do with better signage. Shame ...
