Holiday Inn Express Southampton M27 Jct7 by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Room was good and all the facilities worked. Staff were helpful also."

The Star Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"When you consider that the hotel started its life as a coaching house in the 1840s it is nigh on 200 years old! It is quirky and still has the feel of buildings that were designed at the time - it has great character, is very comfortable and ideally situated in the city centre. The management clearly take a lot of pride in the hotel. Great place. "
