Novotel Southampton

Nice stay, just being my partner and I. We paid for a superior room and was given a free upgrade to executive room which was nice but only difference was a coffee machine and robes (which were very small!) hotel room was spacious but a little dated. Had a separate toilet room but that was quite dated And tired. Bath nice and room had small fridge that came with free water. There was a small corridor with the toilet in and wardrobe/fridge with a door coming into the main bedroom which was nice as the fridge was bright and blocked out most of the ‘hotel noise’ in the corridor. Did look at getting room service during our stay, but I am coeliac and there wasn’t much choice and a bit over priced- roughly £20 for a steak + £5 gratuity, so we chose to go hungry in the end. However, overall we had a lovely stay and the hotel was very reasonable for what we paid, only comment being that the hotel was a little tired.

We enjoyed our stay at the Novotel Hotel. Was easy to find, I arrived by train and it was a very quick walk from the train station. My partner arrived by car and could easily find the hotel. Although Check-out was Midday, we were able to leave our car parked there until the evening which was convenient for us. The hotel was clean inside and we were quick to check in. Our room was clean and tidy. Very spacious. I was concerned about reviews left in regards to noise outside the room. Yes, i agree with the comments, when someone walked past you could hear them. However, in the room, there was an additional door which separated the hallway/bathroom to where the bed was. Once that was closed, you could hear nothing. It seems as though, the noise issue has definitely been dealt with. We didn't get time to have a splash in the pool as we arrived late. However, it was open until 10pm which was good. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely stay again.

staff very helpful and friendly nothing was to much trouble. Food lovely. Only negatives- towels small and very rough, carpets in communal areas could do with a clean.

Although the room was roomy and comfortable it was very noisy in the hallways when other visitors returned to their room and we were woken up a number of times.

Perfect location for touring city and accessing the Ship Terminal
