Andrew C. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Easy access to the hotel however parking for disabled drivers was not very clear. On arrival we paid the parking fee, then was told if we were in a disabled bay with blue badge we did not have to pay the fee, we was not offered the refund. Once we had got booked in we was told we could use the bar area until the room was ready, we was impressed with the space and how clean the hotel was and how friendly the bar staff were. It was a bit confusing as to get into the lift as we were not told to use the key card to activate the lift then press the button to get the lift, however it made sense for security reasons.the room was clean and basic but it served us just fine, no issues at all. The bar food was amazing not only was served to a high standard it was generous portions and hot just perfect. The breakfast was a full English or continental with cereal it was also beautiful and plenty of it to start the day. Highly recommend this hotel thank you everyone

Dear Guest, Thank you for your lovely review and for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay, particularly the cleanliness of the hotel, the friendliness of our bar team, and the quality of our food and breakfast. We appreciate your feedback regarding the disabled parking arrangements and the lift access instructions. We apologise for any confusion caused and will take your comments on board to help us improve our communication with guests. Thank you for recommending our hotel. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again soon! Kind regards, Kateryna Ilchenko Novotel Southampton

Corinna K. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Once checked in, a great stay. Just disappointing waiting in reception from 10am to 2pm before being able to check in. I'm sure the hotel could make some effort to have some rooms ready early, especially for ALL members.

Dear Corinna K., Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and found our location convenient for the cruise port. We sincerely apologise for the wait you experienced before being able to check in. We always do our best to accommodate early arrivals and assist all our guests, regardless of their membership status. However, on this occasion, the hotel was particularly busy, and with our standard check-out time being 12 noon, we were unable to prepare rooms earlier than usual. We understand that waiting from 10 am until 2 pm can be disappointing, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more seamless experience in the future. Kind regards, angie

Hotel needs updating. Toilet door coming off its hinges. Told receptionist who came up with a screwdriver and did a temporary fix. She arranged for maintenance to come the next day at 10am. Not sure if they came as it was as bad the next day. Some of the electrical sockets not working. The room looks very tired. Room 214

Cheryl H. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Overnight hotel stay on 11th Sept, prior to boarding a cruise. Stayed at Novotel many times, the last twice was May 30th & August 2nd 2026. Cost cutting seems to have lowered the standard of service provided. For example, 2 people booked in an Exec room but only 1 bathrobe & slippers provided. 2 people booked in but only 1 set of towels provided. Only 2 tea bags provided. Yes, I can go down to reception and ask for more to be delivered up to the room but basic common sense means that looking at the booking dictates the requirements to be available in the room.
