Hotels With Breakfast in Hampshire, United Kingdom

Lovely friendly staff on reception and at the bar. Lots of fresh tasty breakfast options. The only negative at breakfast was that the hot water machine must have been in need of a good descale as tea was quite scaly. The room was very clean, quiet and adequately equipped. Good aircon, showers and towels. Bed was a little hard though. Lifts can be busy so tricky and c yourself on a high floor (there are 12) The other guests seemed to be mainly pre or post cruise passengers from all over the world - some looked very jet lagged.

Went to this hotel for family wedding, after reading other reviews I was not looking forward to my stay. I found the staff were friendly. The room we stayed in was clean the bed was comfy. I never heard any noise at night. The breakfast had plenty of choice. The problem we had while staying there the broken toilet seat that was not repaired. My son had booked a family room arrived with his three children at 11.30pm and found the room had one double bed and a single bed the only solution they were given was to squash two z beds into the small room because there were no other rooms,

I returned to the Leonardo Royal Southampton a year after my last stay to visit the nearby boat show. Check in time is quite late at 16:00 but I checked in online and received an email at 15:15 to say my room was ready. Lovely executive room with a balcony overlooking Southampton. Nice touches like a handwritten welcome note with chocolates on the bed and a Nespresso machine in addition to the kettle and tea/coffee facilities. Very comfortable bed and a very quiet room despite the hotel being full. Prompt, attentive service from the bar and they went above and beyond by fetching Worcestershire sauce to add to my guests tomato juice! I was delighted to see that the bar area has been decorated and the hotel generally was looking more loved with signs of investment. The pool and spa area has also been decorated and was generally looking smarter. It is great that the pool is open from 06:30 to allow a swim before breakfast. The breakfast buffet in Leo's was excellent with a good range of food available. Plenty of freshly cooked hot items available for the full English with smiling, friendly staff toping items up as required. Congratulations to the management for all your efforts in these difficult times for the hospitality industry, these are certainly paying off. I hope that those who have had a less positive experience than me will give you another try. I will certainly be back.

This was my first time venturing out into the world after the pandemic and a coeliac diagnosis two years ago. The hotel was quite busy on the Friday when I checked in and only one lift was working, but that really was a small niggle. The lift was repaired by the time I returned to the hotel in the early evening. The restaurant was great when it came to catering to my gluten allergy. There were a few options, and the guy at the front of house went the extra mile to check if the fish was fried in the same oil as non-GF food. Unfortunately, that was the case, and I'd suggest that either provision is made for a separate fryer, or the GF designation is taken off that item on the menu. But there were other things I could have, so it wasn't really a problem. Breakfast was excellent. The lovely young lady at the front of house took my order and explained that the chef would prepare it in a GF-section of the kitchen, so I'd have a 15 minute wait. It really wasn't a problem and it was well worth the wait. Beautifully prepared, generous portion. Friendly service. The room was fine. I loved pulling back the curtains in the morning and seeing the massive cruise ships in port. Only quibble was the pillows, but I'm picky. Otherwise the room was nice and clean, and I appreciated the a/c. I would definitely stay here again.

I had stayed in this hotel many moons ago when it was part of the to Marriott group, I understand it is now Ellite /Britannia hotels and there is nothing ellite about it. Check in time is 4 pm, and checkout 10 am, that gives six hours to clean and turn around the vacated rooms, So you would expect them to be absolutely spotless, room was clean enough, it smelled of smoking but went, when the windows opened, few hairs in the bath tub, the wooden cabinets smelled musty and dust on lamps, but the bed was clean and so was the bedding. On check-in I didn’t realise it was 4pm, I assumed it would be 2 pm or 3 pm at the latest. I asked if any of the rooms were serviced so I could check in early, I was told there were lots of rooms ready but you have to pay £20 extra to check-in early regardless of the fact they ready, I was due to be at a wedding at 5 pm, I had to accept the £20 payment, I was not impressed as this took my one night stay in this hotel to £189 for the night. In comparison I could get a one night stay in the Park Plaza, Waterloo for the same price in London! This hotel is not worth that much a night. The hotel was like a maze and had to go upstairs along creaky corridors carrying a suitcase case up more stairs with no accessibility by lift to my room (room 657) Room had the very basics cheap nasty shampoo, A few sachets of tea and coffee, towels but no bottled water. At night I could hear a few guests from other rooms, it didn’t disturb me. The pool is absolute mess, it had a pipe going from the hot water tap into the pool, which I burnt my bottom on and my husband burned his thumb, I can only assume the heater doesn’t work so it’s the only way they’ve got to heat the pool, The water didn’t look very good I wonder if the filter was working? In photographs on booking.com their shows a Jacuzzi, there isn’t one! there hasn’t been a working for more than 10 months, and the broken one has now been removed altogether, I think it’s very misleading. I don’t like to book a hotel without a pool and a Jacuzzi, I like to relax why I’m away from home. The pool look too scary to go into, and there was no Jacuzzi! Breakfast wasn’t too bad, Choice of cereals, fruit juices and cooked breakfast, no croissants or pastries. Coffee was horrible. Breakfast is advertised until 10am but they closed and locked the doors at 9:58, I only made it with 10 minutes to spare, it wasn’t explained me that breakfast actually ended at 10. I would assume people could still go for breakfast at 10 and still have time to sit down and eat, this is not the case! Would I stay here again absolutely not! it is probably a £50 a night budget hotel in the middle of nowhere unless you are playing golf I really wouldn’t bother. Disappointed that booking.com gives this hotel four stars.

I had to step on a small cockroach in the bathroom of my room. The toilet seat was loose and slid off the loo when I sat on it. I fixed it, which was unpleasant but fairly easy. Next day after the room had been cleaned, it was broken again. Clearly the cleaner knows but they don't bother to fix it. Everything seems a bit too much trouble for the staff. Do you have any crisps? No Sir, laughing gently to himself, we sold out. Next day? Same response. The nights I stayed coincided with two large functions. One looked like a company party, the second was a wedding. Consequently, there was no furniture in most of the public places. The bar had eight chairs available for all the guests in the hotel who were not part of the function. Two lagers on draught. One ran out. Wasn't replaced - again, the gently laughing man seemed to think that was a risible request. Breakfast - the less said the better. The food was okay but the problem was the quantity. There was a bowl or grilled tomatoes, some scrambled eggs and three hash browns in bowls, on a buffet. About six hungry people hovering around, waiting for resupply. After five minutes, a few sausages come out. Five minutes later, some bacon. So people load up and leave. Now there are no hash browns, no sausages, no bacon, no mushrooms, no bacon. Five minutes later some hash browns arrives. Seemingly impossible to serve yourself a full breakfast from the buffet if you don't want to wait for 30 minutes. The staff all look 16 years old and have no clue what to do - it doesn't feel fair complaining to them. It's the kitchen that can't keep up. You walk in the hotel and the whole place doesn't smell right - damp, weird, unclean.

The clue to this hotel is in the name. We booked 3 rooms for two nights for the boatshow. To be honest it was basic but perfectly suited our needs. I've just recently stayed at the Waldorf Hotel in London and the Shower in my room was far superior to the one in the Waldorf. It was good value for money for the boatshow weekend £222 per foom for two nights. We had a few issues with room cards etc however Maddison the receptionist politely & efficiently sorted them out and is a credit to the hotel. We will definitely be stopping next year for the boatshow.

The room was clean and the hotel easy to get to, and the staff friendly and approachable, a great choice for visiting nearby Winchester. It was quiet and peaceful and we weren't disturbed by other guests. The shower was strong and hot and it was nice to have the toiletries. The WiFi was strong. Our only complaint was that the bed was hard and we both had backaches in the morning but these quickly went. Also there were some cobwebs at the top of the room, luckily no spiders, but could do with a hoover up there!

Arrived at this lovely venue to celebrate our Ruby Wedding Anniversary only to find that the 3rd party booking company that we used & paid had not advised us that the Hotel was fully booked. Fortunately the Staff at the resort on reception Adam & his female colleague sorry I did not take her name bent over backwards to try & find a room which they eventually managed with a lot of effort. The hotel was exceptionally busy due to a Wedding & a private party staying over. I was very stressed & upset as this was a special day for us but they made every effort with calmness & professionalism to resolve this problem that was NOT down to the hotel. Room & stay was great. I highly recommend this hotel & the staff not only on reception but throughout the whole hotel during our stay.

What a horrible person on reception when we arrived late off the ferry. Rude, disinterested, disobliging, inconsiderate. Treated us like a really stupid inconvenience. In spite of the fact that this was an advance booking, so our arrival should not have been a surprise nuisance for her. This, overlaid by the hotel's very complicated financial systems which involve taking a LOT of money from your credit card that you do not owe and only paying it back when you leave, will make sure that we will never never set foot in a Marriott again. AND, dear readers, if you don't want to join their Bonvoy (which I assume is a marketing abbreviation for Bon Voyage aka happy times ha ha) you have to pay £12 to get WiFi. Actually a lot of the staff were really sweet, what a shame they have to share a review with that awful receptionist. This comment will make no difference whatsoever to anything, but it makes me feel better and I hope it will encourage people to look elsewhere. There are alternatives ..............

Best hotel I have stayed in The room Deluxe Marina View Room Really big room and nice comfortable bed Walk in shower with all Early evening a knock on the door asked if I wanted a turn down service Free gin and sherry Really good night sleep The staff Excellent very professional and helpful and if there was anything I needed they shorted it like a free transfer to my cruise the next morning

We arrived a couple days before our cruise and we're glad that we chose this hotel. The location was perfect for us. We took a bus from London and the hotel was about a ten minute walk from the bus terminal. We also did some exploring by train and the train station was also a short walk away. The ”old town” area is nearby as is a huge shopping center. The cruise ship was less than five minutes away by Uber. We checked in at the bar and were quickly on our way to our room. This was our first stay in a Moxy. The room seemed unusual to us, but perhaps that's the Moxy way. There were no drawers, no closet, hooks on the wall for hanging clothes (hangers provided), one shelf on each side of our queen bed and one sheft on the opposite wall. There is a night light under the bed that is activated by a motion sensor. I never saw that before but it worked well. The room had very strong WIFI and there were lots of charging ports for electronics. The bed was quite comfortable. The shower was quite small but had a powerful stream and consistent temperature. There is no tub. The small lobby has books, puzzles, and more. There was even a guitar there (perhaps inviting someone to play?). Breakfast at the bar was included and I thought it was pretty good. I'm happy that we chose this hotel. We'll certainly return for our next Southampton cruise.

Stayed here for one night pre cruise, as most in the hotel seemed to be. It’s an ugly 1970s style concrete blob from the outside. It’s right on the riverfront close to all the cruise terminals and a few minutes walk from West Quay shopping and the town centre. Check in was quick and the guy was very friendly. Parking is expensive at £15 but if you use the yourparkingspace app it’s about a third of that price. The reception/bar area is light and modern and if you are a IHG member you get a free drink each which is a nice touch. We booked a super king sea view room. I notice that the description of these has now changed to River view which is more accurate. The room was modern, spacious and had everything we needed. The bathroom was again clean and modern. The bed was lovely and comfortable. The room has floor to ceiling windows offering nice views over the estuary and cruise terminals. They also have city view rooms but looking at the position of the hotel I reckon most rooms will have some view out to the river, albeit side on. We didn’t eat at the hotel simply because there are a wealth of restaurants within a few minutes walk at West Quay or in town. Prices vary a lot for this hotel and this seems to be linked to how many cruise ships are in port the day after as this is a favourite with cruise passengers because of its proximity to the terminals. However, early booking does get the price down to a reasonable sum for a modern, reliable, friendly and well located hotel. Still not sure why it’s leisure centre hasn’t reopened after Covid though.

The environment is good, and the service is also very good. I am very patient and friendly to those who use translation software for conversations. Praise 👍

In summer, there is a problem with air conditioning and refrigeration. It is very hot at night. Other facilities are very good. The room is very big and the bed is very big. The service is very good

Decided to book this Novotel as a place to stay for a couple of nights in Southampton for some wedding celebrations. We have previously visited this hotel approx 22 years ago as we had our wedding held at this hotel. So we were familiar with the hotel location and surroundings as we frequently visited Southampton centre for many years over the past 22 years. The location is ideal if you are arriving by coach and train. The coach station is literally on the door step of this hotel , approx 500/600 metres away. The train station is also within walking distance too. You really are in the centre within walking distance of the main shopping centre , the West Quay .John Lewis entrance is only a 10 min walk from this hotel which takes you into the West Quay shopping centre. Novotel has a car park , which is shared with 2 other hotels at this location , including an Ibis hotel. There are plenty of spaces to park, however we arrived off season and I can imagine during the cruise season it can get busy. My only grievance with Novotel is, we booked through the Novotel website and it does say on there that parking is available however you have to pay £10 per night to park your car there. Upon arrival, you just speak with the checking in staff, provide them with your car registration number & they simply register it on their system and you pay them at the counter for your parking.So £20 on top of your hotel booking as we were staying for the 2 nights. We decided not to book any breakfast as on your doorstep is a McDonald’s…literally at the car park entrance….there is also an IKEA store 5 minutes walk from the hotel. You can see it from the hotel rooms.since the hotel is alongside the major road alongside the port, you can walk along there to IKEA and towards the pier.if you’re really lucky , you can admire one of the large cruise liners berthed up…we did , you could look at it from the hotel car park.There is also a TGI Fridays restaurant across the car park entrance at this location and a small retail park with a few shops like Poundland etc. The checking in process was seamless and we got the lift to our room which was one of the top floors. The room was pretty large ..we had a king size bed and a large double sofa bed open for our 2 teenage kids. The room had pretty well insulated windows with some really good blackout curtains. The tv was a decent size and the room also boasts a small fridge with some complimentary bottles of water. There is also a small safe which you can change the lock number on however I’m not sure how secure it can be as these budget safes are battery operated with a manual overide key., but they’re handy if you want to place some small items in there like your car keys etc. I wouldn’t be leaving anything particularly valuable in there or your passports if you’re staying here prior to your cruise….you’re better keeping them with you. The overall ambience of our room was warm welcoming relaxing and comforting which is what you want to

Upon arriving I was incredibly disappointed. The description on Trip Advisor and elsewhere states: “Set in acres of beautiful countryside, our hotel offers the best of breathtaking scenery” Surrounding the hotel are multiple housing estates and new roads being constructed. I appreciate they don’t control what goes on around them, but please don’t market yourselves as something you are not. My view from the single window was also of a relatively new housing estate, bright street light and at the time a member of staff standing there smoking whilst staring at our bed. Not a great start. Upon arriving, we were allowed to check-in early, which was appreciated. However, as a family (visiting Peppa Pig World) we purchased a package deal - and we had the distinct feeling that we were allocated a special ‘out of the way' room in the ‘out of the way’ wing where they stick the package holiday customers. The room was downstairs and along a long corridor. It was dark and somewhat depressing. The room itself was much the same. The chairs were too dirty to sit on, one of the pillows had some horrible red staining on, the air-con was weak and one of the bedside units (next to my 5-year-olds bed) had a couple of pin nails sticking out ready to split a head open in an instant (I bent them over to avoid this for future guests). The TV didn't work and and there were minor issues, such as holes in the curtains and bed sheets It just felt tired. My worst experience came when wanting to watch my little girl swim with her mum in the pool, but I didn’t want to swim myself. I asked a member of staff if that was possible. He blanked me. I asked again, and there was complete silence - making me feel very uncomfortable. Almost in a ‘why would you want to watch’ kind of way. Still no answer from the staff member. If it hadn’t been my daughter's birthday he’d have been pulled to one side and given a lesson in customer service whether he liked it or not. Clearly rude, and not overly bright. Slight positive, they were accommodating when allowing us some plates for my daughter's cake in our room and a little bit of ice for our drinks. And, the bathroom was quite clean and other than leaky taps it all seemed to work well. We would have ordered food, but some was £30+ a dish, plus a £5 tray charge. I’m happy to pay for good food, but not for a hotel that talks a good game when it comes to their food, but can’t even deliver on a decent cooked breakfast (the sausages were dreadful) - and I very much doubt any was organic, which apparently is if possible…. A few staff members were very friendly, and a few were not. Was it a truly horrible stay? No, but it was certainly forgettable. It would be fine for a business stay, but it’s NOT family-friendly, and feels very dated. It was trying to punch well above its weight. As a dad, my mains concerns for a 'family room' were: 1) Pin nails by the bedready to cause injury. 2) Child's bed pushed up tight against the radiato

Came for afternoon tea for my daughters hen party, it was organised by her friends. The setting was lovely with a harpist playing. Unfortunately after the sandwiches arrived my daughter suffered an allergic reaction which resulted in her needing to spend most of the afternoon in the toilet being sick. She suffers from an egg allergy which was made clear when the booking was made. We were very clear that she couldn’t have any egg and queried some of the sandwich fillings. Once in contact with egg she reacts extremely quickly. She was not treated with any real care and one of her friends had to pay for antihistamines from reception! As this was her hen the occasion was completely ruined for her and everyone else yet when the bill arrived full payment was expected. I did not think this was acceptable and asked for the cost of her tea to be removed and was initially told that this was not possible. After speaking to the manager it was eventually removed. The afternoon was not as expected and I do not feel that the staff showed any real care or compassion. I will not be recommending or visiting again. Extremely expensive ruined occasion.

Went to this hotel for family wedding, after reading other reviews I was not looking forward to my stay. I found the staff were friendly. The room we stayed in was clean the bed was comfy. I never heard any noise at night. The breakfast had plenty of choice. The problem we had while staying there the broken toilet seat that was not repaired. My son had booked a family room arrived with his three children at 11.30pm and found the room had one double bed and a single bed the only solution they were given was to squash two z beds into the small room because there were no other rooms,

What an amazing and magical experience!!! We loved everything! We found this place by chance during our road trip and I did not expect to stay in such special and historical place. Breakfast was also delicious. Thank you!

I have stayed here a few times recently as I am working in the area. This is just a perfect hotel to stay at with excellent, large rooms, really comfortable bed and proper large walk in shower. The bedding is natural fibres so not the hot lump of lead that you get in some hotels. Rooms at the rear are quiet despite the road being on the A33. Food is great and service is very good and really friendly. The staff are lovely. Just brilliant and makes working away from home quite a pleasure for once!

I had to step on a small cockroach in the bathroom of my room. The toilet seat was loose and slid off the loo when I sat on it. I fixed it, which was unpleasant but fairly easy. Next day after the room had been cleaned, it was broken again. Clearly the cleaner knows but they don't bother to fix it. Everything seems a bit too much trouble for the staff. Do you have any crisps? No Sir, laughing gently to himself, we sold out. Next day? Same response. The nights I stayed coincided with two large functions. One looked like a company party, the second was a wedding. Consequently, there was no furniture in most of the public places. The bar had eight chairs available for all the guests in the hotel who were not part of the function. Two lagers on draught. One ran out. Wasn't replaced - again, the gently laughing man seemed to think that was a risible request. Breakfast - the less said the better. The food was okay but the problem was the quantity. There was a bowl or grilled tomatoes, some scrambled eggs and three hash browns in bowls, on a buffet. About six hungry people hovering around, waiting for resupply. After five minutes, a few sausages come out. Five minutes later, some bacon. So people load up and leave. Now there are no hash browns, no sausages, no bacon, no mushrooms, no bacon. Five minutes later some hash browns arrives. Seemingly impossible to serve yourself a full breakfast from the buffet if you don't want to wait for 30 minutes. The staff all look 16 years old and have no clue what to do - it doesn't feel fair complaining to them. It's the kitchen that can't keep up. You walk in the hotel and the whole place doesn't smell right - damp, weird, unclean.
