This hotel was excellent value for money. We have three boys, twins aged 3 and 5 year old so had to book two rooms because there were no family suites available. I phoned the hotel a couple of days before we were due to arrive and requested to have rooms next door to each other. We arrived at the hotel and they reserved the rooms next to each other.

Once we had got to our room much to our surprise there was a door that adjoined the two rooms. It was perfect. It was just like having a suite.

The breakfast was really good, plenty of selection of English and Continental. The staff were excellent as well. Great for the Hedge End Botleigh side of Southampton and walking distance to the Rose Bowl.

I'll be staying there again for sure.

the best express ive ever stayed in nice rooms food and staff all was the best ever

I have become more and more impressed with the Holiday Inn Express brand over recent months. However, this particular hotel stepped up the quality even more, and still at the very reasonable price of £78 inclusive of internet and breakfast, representing much better value than say the Premier Inn who want to charge me a lot more for these facilities.

The hotel is very large compared to the standard HIE model, but it loses nothing as a result of this, plus is able to offer a good bar and food service. There is a large secure car park (unique code required at exit barrier). Two lifts mean less waiting around.

Staff were very welcoming and helpful at front desk and bar. The room itself was again standard HIE layout, although slightly larger than normal. Good work space, sofa and comfortable bed.

This is the best HIE I have stayed at, and I wouldn't hesitate to use it again.

This was the second time we had used this hotel . First was to drop off our son to pick up his cruise ship in early Aug, when he was with us,then to collect him this wkend at the start of his leave. Both times we found the service really good. The location though a bit out of Southampton definetly worth the extra 10 mins. We had an evening meal which was excellent and the staff couldnt have been more polite and helpful. We didnt need any particular help but noticed how helpful they were to a fellow guest at Reception Will definetly be using it again when we are in Southampton
