Leonardo Hotel Southampton

8/10 Good

"👌"

Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour

8/10 Good

"Its a nice hotel generally. The staff are very slow.. like painfully at times! We were there for the take that concert and they were doing free welcome drinks etc and we had a bottle of wine in our room too. Although the fact they had put the prices of rooms up by over £200 a night, it's really the least that they could do!"

voco Southampton by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was nice, the bathroom was tiny, but clean. Barely enough room for once person. Good tea and coffee facilities. The room was not good value due to the inflated price as it was a Take That concert, but overall it was a nice hotel. It was an easy 30 minutes walk to the St. Mary’s Stadium for the concert. The carpark at the hotel was good, £20 for 24 hours, which was ok."

The Queens Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Not a great entry way from the carpark, up the sweeping staircase carrying luggage then a fight to get the door open. A beautiful hotel especially the grand vestibule. Great reception staff efficient and friendly. We were in room 359, top floor, (splendid view) which was particularly hot during the May heatwave but room fans were provided. The beautifully refurbished bathroom however was the worst layout we've ever experienced. The door into the generous sized room, clashed with the rather small shower cubicle, which had nowhere to put shower toiletries except the floor. The only other storage area was a small glass shelf over the hand basin in exactly the right forehead cracking position. The strangest was the double toilet roll holder, which was placed just above the toilet cistern thus completely out of reach just when it was needed, unless you are a contortionist. The breakfast serving staff told us that they were tired and they were all obviously fed up, demoralised even, but the breakfast was great."
