Novotel Southampton

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spotless. Loved the swimming pool and sauna. Very easy to get to Southampton train station and airport, making it a convenient venue for a conference."

voco Southampton by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel, the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Nice well maintained and very clean, the bed was super comfortable. We didn’t have the evening meal as we went out and about in Southampton but had breakfast which was very good. Stayed here for one night before our cruise, we will definitely book here again. "
