The hotel is located near the waterfront and docks. In the room towards the top of the building there are great views up and down Southampton Water. The hotel is looking a bit tired and the public areas are not really inspiring. However, the staff are attentive and helpful and make your stay a pleasant one. The rooms are comfortable,... More

We were staying overnight as daughter had 30th birthday party locally. So a functional stay. Frankly a functional hotel. From the outside in it looked jaded and old. The bath came from another era and the shower leaked constantly. Comfortable and warm. Staff very pleasant. Would I return? not unless I had to. It seems Holiday inn hotels are so... More

The Holiday Inn is located right on the waterfront next to the docks. It's an easy 5 minute walk to West Quay shopping Centre with a good choice of restaurants and bars. This was a 1 night stay checking in on a Saturday Night. Check In First impressions were very good, the reception area is warm and welcoming. The lady... More

Anyone doing their homework regarding this well placed hotel would realise that it's location to the docks is one of it's main selling points. Although we were not sailing anywhere we could see how it would fit in with a cruise journey. We received an extremely warm and friendly greeting at reception, check-in was swift and efficient and all extra... More

My wife and I stayed at this hotel before joining the Cunard Victoria for a cruise. The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was substantial and served with a smile, even though they were very busy. The overnight price included parking and a taxi to the ship, so a very good way of parking and avoiding the cost... More

I feel awful writing this.... however the service at this hotel is shockingly bad! I paid for my parents to stay with me for a very special event we had in the area, I've stayed in a few Holiday Inns and I know what to expect. However at this hotel it is something else! The food took ages to arrive,... More

Next to the docks and not very close to the town. Plenty of other hotels around. the room was clean and as expected. I was put into room 11 on the 6th floor which was next to the lift. When i asked to be moved they could only offer me room 10 on the same floor, which was the other... More

Just returned from yet another visit to the Holiday Inn, Southampton, and once again received excellent service. The hotel is ideally positioned, with fascinating views over Southampton water for watching the coming and going of all the shipping, and within easy walking distance of West Quay shopping centre. There is a wonderful little pub, The Duke of Wellington, nearby, and... More

We spent the 29th and 30th October 2011 at this Holiday Inn. We had a room on the 7th floor facing the harbour, the view was great. The Hotel is conveniently situated for the Harbour, the nearby Shopping Centre and the older part of Southampton should you want to explore. The hotel was clean, the food was excellent and the... More
