Edward M. H. Business - 26/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Room given on first floor when a party had been booked, so for me being not attended if party had to put up with the noise, also fire alarm constantly going off on during the day, lost count after 14 times

I would like to truly apology. I do understand your frustration and please accept my apology. I do hope we can gain your trust back and serve you better in near future.

Bad service over covid19

Customer review rating 4.2/5

Mrs B. H. Families - 24/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

As you know many trips, holidays were cancelled due to the corona virus. This affected us so we had to cancel our stay with you. We were told there was no refund so I thought I would ring to explain...after trying multiple times ringing only to be cut off before I could speak to anyone! Many other hotel chains have offered full refunds even if the extra wasn’t paid to allow for this and in light of the reason for these cancellations I was disappointed by your chains response. When we next need a hotel to stay in I’m afraid your chain will not be top of the list.

Dear Barbara H., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience with Novotel Southampton. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. I would like to kindly inform you that I process the refund and you should receive money on your account in 10 to 14 working days, please accept my apologies for poor services provided from our side, I do hope we can gain your trust back and we will see you once again in a near future. Sincerely, Iwona Kowalczyk Guest Relations Novotel Southampton

Dear Nicki S., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Novotel Southampton. First of all I would like to apology for the situation with shower head.

Once again please accept my truly apologies and I do hope you will give us one more chance to serve you better in the near future.

Donna E. Friends - 20/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Quite a good stay but a few niggles with the room - stained curtains, broken bed, broken lightswitch by bathroom, upon checkout was told I owed £40 for car parking when it should have been £20 (this was eventually sorted when the shift manager was called to help) Otherwise all good.

Convenient and comfortable

Customer review rating 4.2/5

Tiffany Couples - 20/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The location is very convenient, it was quiet and the bed was super comfortable so we slept really well. Only downsides are the tiny shower, the lack of space to store clothes (only a really small wardrobe already half full of other items). What mostly dropped the mark down was the expensive parking, it's way too expensive.

Dear Tiffany W., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Southampton. It is always a pleasure to receive feedback regarding our hotel. I will share your comments with our team about the room. Unfortunately as the car park is private land it is our obligation to charge for the car park. We welcome you back for your next stay at Novotel Southampton Sincerely, Benjamin Plumb Novotel Southampton Guest Relations

Unhappy stay

Customer review rating 4.2/5

Sarah Couples - 18/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Hotel was clean and tidy and staff helpful. Fire alarm started going off at 4am and continued going off through the early hours , so we asked for a refund on our second night stay at the hotel. Hotel reception were very good and did this promptly without question. Shame nice hotel but was spoilt by this as did not get a nights sleep , so we left the hotel and moved to another hotel for our second night

Great play area for the children, breakfast was great - cleanliness of rooms not very good especially in current climate

Customer review rating 4.2/5

Charlotte Families - 17/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

I thought the play area for the children was great and kept them entertained whilse we had a drink. The breakfast buffet was one of the best I have seen and you had thought of everything. My only complaint would be the cleanliness of the room, the shower was blocked with hairs and therefore just filled up with water. The bath tub and sink had hairs in so hadn't been cleaned very well after previous guests. I also didn't like that there was no sink next to the toilet especially with the corona virus at the moment it isnt good to not be able to wash your hands straight away.

Dear Charlotte O., Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I am sorry to hear that on this occasion the room and bathroom was not up to the High standards we strive to achieve. Please accept my full apologie Your feedback is very important to us. Please rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent future occurrence. We do hope, this experience will not deter you coming back to Novotel Southampton and hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future, Kind Regards Iwona Kowalczyk Guest Relations Novotel Southampton

The hotel is 5 minutes walk from Southampton Central and car parking is available close to the hotel. The staff are excellent and were really helpful. The evening meal was delicious; chicken tikka masala - well presented and very tasty.

Customer review rating 4.2/5

Vicky Couples - 13/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The bedrooms are very confused, half modern half stuck in the 1970’s, but that wasn’t the issue, the issue was the rock hard bed which meant I couldn’t sleep and the next morning I could hardly move.
