Very dated and worn everywhere in the room and bathroom/toilet. Drains smell awful. Grubby net curtains and carpets, windows that don't open enough for cool or fresh air. Didn't eat here £18 for breakfast!?

Sarah D. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

While the hotel and staff are lovely, the rooms really let the hotel down. We booked a room for 2 adults, 2 children. The sofa bed for the 2 children was so small and uncomfortable we ended up having to have 3 people in the one bed. We stayed in August. Was already aware the hotel did not have air con. There was a fan provided but the room was still extremely warm. A very uncomfortable night sleep. The meal options for the evening were very limited and we wish we had gone and eaten in the nearby TGI Fridays. Although the hotel is in a great location if you are going on a cruise we would not chose this hotel again.

Lyn W. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Whimsy the bar and restaurant staff were absolutely amazing- I was disappointed with reception that after staying with them for a week that when we returned 1 week later we could not store our bags for a couple of hours.

Dear Lyn, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with our bar and restaurant team, and we will certainly pass on your kind comments to them. We are sorry to hear about your disappointment regarding the luggage storage during your return visit. We understand how inconvenient this must have been, particularly after your previous stay with us. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will review the circumstances with our reception team to ensure our policies and communication are handled as clearly and consistently as possible. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide an experience that meets all of your expectations. Kind Regards, Twinslee Fernandes

Dear Novotel Southampton Management Team,I am writing to share my sincere feedback following my recent stay at your hotel. My experience was so outstanding that I chose to extend my time with you, and I can confidently say that every single day was an absolute pleasure.What truly sets the Novotel Southampton apart is your team. I was consistently impressed by the enthused, passionate staff who clearly take genuine pride in their work. Their energy and dedication didn't just feel like standard customer service; it felt like a collective mission to ensure guests thoroughly enjoy the Novotel experience.A special mention must go to Brian, whose exceptional leadership and care set the tone for the entire visit. He and the rest of the team have set a remarkably high quality bar that other hotels in the area should aspire to match.Thank you for turning what could have been a standard hotel stay into a memorable, top-tier experience. Please pass along my deepest gratitude to Brian and the rest of your wonderful team. I look forward to returning on my next visit to Southampton.Warm regards,

Customer review rating 3.0/5

Richard P. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Apart from a mix up on room booking, the hotel was, as usual, fine (though the lack of air-conditioning surely needs to be addressed). But the behaviour of some other guests spoiled things. On one evening an extended family group arrived on the "executive" floor just before midnight which heralded shouting, screaming children, endless door slamming as they went in and out of each others' rooms etc. Add to this the endless array of shouting, screaming children in the lobby and bar on several occasions (don't parents feel any sense of responsibility to other guests?) and you get the picture.

Dear Richard, Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased you continue to enjoy staying with us, and we’re sorry that noise from other guests affected your experience. We appreciate your comments regarding air-conditioning and will take them into consideration. Kind Regards, Twinslee Frenandes Front office Team Leader

Andrew H. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall in line with previous stays and look forward to our next visit. A bit disappointed that some large vehicle users were taking up more than one parking bay, which limited the number of bays available. This could do with improved management. Since number plates are registered, then the individual culprits could be efficiently requested to adjust their parking

Dear Andrew, Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed your stay overall and appreciate your comments regarding parking. We’ll review how we can better manage parking to ensure spaces are used fairly. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Kind Regards, Twinslee Fernandes
