Holiday Inn Portsmouth by IHG

8/10 Good

"Disappointing that air conditioning broken but great that fans provided, curtains in rooms kept drawn and chilled water in rooms. Reception staff super helpful. Car park was full but provided permits to park on street for same cost. Swimming pool great amenity with small paddling pool for little ones and separate swimming lanes for serious swimmers"

Leonardo Hotel Southampton

10/10 Excellent

"We had exec room 913 on the top floor . Lovely stay, nice facilities , very clean and a really comfy bed. Only downside being the aircon , it was hopeless . That was such a shame because everything else was perfect and I was desperate for a proper nights sleep after the run of warm weather."

ibis budget Southampton Centre

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the bed comfortable. I was surprised that coffee making facilities weren't given, but the reception staff provided a kettle and extension cable. It is very basic, but is good for a short stsy"

New Place

10/10 Excellent

"Clean great place will be back soon"

Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour

10/10 Excellent

"Really good hotel livery swimming pool"

Harbour Hotel Southampton

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful room with extremely comfortable beds and a lovely bathroom too. The staff were very friendly and efficient. We didn’t eat at the hotel as there are plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. It would be a pleasure to stay again."

Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

8/10 Good

"Stayed 5 nights , like the area and Old Town Portsmouth. The Hotel is in a excellent position in middle of Shopping outlet so close to bars and restaurants. The rooms are reasonable size ,the beds could be upgraded or a decent topper for the top of mattress also pillows were a bit lumpy. A reasonable breakfast was provided a full English type or cereals, toast jam and croissants also available."

Village Hotel Southampton Eastleigh

8/10 Good

"Stayed here one night before a cruise out of Southampton. A wonderful big hotel with Starbucks on site and a large pool and hot tub along with steam rooms, ice plunge and sauna. I only use the pool in the hot tub, but there were lots of people using the rest of the amenities. Room was small but very comfortable. Bathroom has a glass door, which was fine for me because I had my own room. I don’t think I would be as comfortable if I were sharing with friends . There would be no privacy unless the other person left the room. Other friends, I was traveling with suggested bringing a cheap shower curtain to throw over the door and that would solve all the issues a . My only real issue was that the restaurant was out of things that I wanted to order for dinner. In the end, the food was not that great. Otherwise, you can’t go wrong with this hotel. I would definitely stay here again, but I would have food delivered."
