"close to cruise port and food for short stay"

Hilton Southampton - Utilita Bowl

10/10 Excellent

"From the lovely welcome at check in to the Helpful server at breakfast who was fabulous in helping me in a wheelchair access a suitable table. It was a fantastic stop over prior to our cruise. It will be our first choice in future."

Macdonald Botley Park Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Needs a little tlc in some areas... receptionist was more interested in chit chatting rather than helping me out with a problem in my room and I was expected to wait 2 hours for a remedy!!! If it wasn't for Cameron in the restaurant this place would be worse the management need to take a closer look at what he does and the hours he works and offer him management training"

The Elizabeth House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely hotel. Everything was clean and comfortable, the food was genuinely delicious. What made our stay especially enjoyable was the wonderful staff — everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and kind, which made us feel truly at home. It’s clear that the team takes pride in looking after their guests, and we really appreciated that personal touch. We had a lovely experience and would happily come back again. Highly recommended!"
