Second Nature Southampton

Second Nature Southampton

10/10 Excellent
"The location could not have been better for our cruise. It is located perfectly next to a very historic section of the city and also within walking distance of good pubs and restaurants. The bar/restaurant was very nice and the breakfast was excellent. Checking in and out was easy and the hotel staff was pleasant and most helpful. We would definitely stay again."

Hampton by Hilton Bournemouth

Hampton by Hilton Bournemouth

8/10 Good
"This was our second stay at 'Hampton By Hilton' which is an adjacent hotel to the main Hilton Hotel in Bournemouth. The hotel and room was very modern and clean, and the staff very helpful and professional. The bathroom was a highlight, with a new, very modern shower enclosure and nice tiling. The room was spotlessly clean. What was not quite so good was the hard mattress (my wife didn't mind) and the inadequate Horizon run parking next door. Both times we have stayed, the smallish car park has been packed, so we had to use a parking bay in the EV section, but the hotel staff OK'd us to do that. Please note the Hilton and Hampton hotels are located on a very steep hill, with many steps, so is unsuitable for people with physical disabilities or limitations."
