Southampton Hotels with Swimming Pools

Environment: General Service: the service attitude is very good Hygiene: general, room equipment is old

The hotel is placed just outside of the centre, which a short 5 minute walk. The centre is a busy one so it suited us as a family. Check in and check out was easy as it was all online, so no waiting in long queues, however the front desk does get very busy. The staff were polite and helpful, and the room was clean. One of the lifts wasn’t working which is a small issue as there are 12 floors and a lot of guests, so waiting for them could sometimes be a little stressful. My only gripe is the breakfast. Often the food was cold, or just missing. Coffee machine wasn’t working, it’s badly designed so you can’t move around the food easily. Certain eggs you had to order but we tried that and they never materialised. Plates and bowls in weird places (nothing at all by the toast). It could be run much better. The food was average at best. It really let the hotel down in that respect. Otherwise, everything was fab. You do get noise from the road below but it’s a busy location, so it’s to be expected. We’d definitely stay here again if in the area or if we were going on a cruise the next day.

The check in was fast and flawless. The room wasn't ready so reception offered to keep our bags safely while we wondered around the hotel waiting till it was ready. The location was perfect next to a large mall. The room was made up again on the second day of our stay. A welcome cocktail was a nice touch. Excellent location if you just came off or starting a cruise from Southampton.
