melbry1 03/08/2021 TripAdvisor review

Ideal position for a one night stay before joining a Cruise and not too expensive. Intend staying there again when we take our next cruise later this year. At first was a little unhappy about the car park also being used by different grade of hotel, but fortunately no damage done

Very well located!!! Everything you need just walking distance, such shopping centre, food store, arcades, cinema, restaurants, etc.

Everything you need just walking distance, such shopping centre, food store, arcades, cinema, restaurants, etc. The hotel was clean, good size rooms.

Disappointing

Customer review rating 2.0/5

Tomeq Families - 01/08/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

I expected much more after positive experience with Novotel in another country. I cannot believe that 4star hotel may don't have air-condition in a room, fridge not really cooling, some hangers were loose (in wc for example) and room was not completely clean as previous guests left dirty window (some fruit was spread over glass). Separate issue was breakfast, which I believe was worst provided in any hotel I stayed ever. There was simply not enough food for people. There was lack of bacon, scramble eggs, fried eggs (undone when they appeared finally), fried tomatos, pancakes, croissants, only one kind of sandwich meat, and few slices of cheese. Next day was slightly better but to be honest, I ate nicer breakfast in 3 star hotels, so next time will consider Novotel in this category.

Ideal Location; Good Stay

Andrew E. Families - 01/08/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

This was a pleasant stay albeit there is room for improvement. My biggest concern was the lack of air conditioning in the rooms. As the weather was warm and sunny, the rooms were a little too warm, making sleep uncomfortable. There is some air being blown through - but its air from the outside, so it was warm. The location is ideal. Around a 10 min walk from the hotel to the shopping centre, high street and an array of restaurants. Breakfast Ok. Can be a little on the cold side and if you go at the busier times, you are waiting for the food to arrive. Rooms are spacious and we had ours cleaned daily. Overall, yes, I would stay here again - but perhaps not in the summer.

Staff did very well given the constraints of covid and a week of very high temperatures.

Appalling service

Customer review rating 0.5/5

Hannah R. Families - 29/07/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Appalling service from checkin taking 1 hour to our room card not working and taking another 40minutes to sort out. To us then being given a single room when we booked a family room. To the travel cot provided being broken but the hotel just chucking a sheet over it to hide this fact. To then top it off we were incorrectly charged for the stay and it took 4 days before the hotel even acknowledged this and started our refund.

Too hot and no air conditioning

Customer review rating 2.0/5

Anand Families - 29/07/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Visited on a number of occasions due to location and good hotel facilities. However, on this particular visit the rooms were incredibly hot (outside daytime temp was around 22( and there didn’t appear to have any form of air conditioning. With the windows open, there was a lot of noise coming from the roads and harbour. Let’s just say we didn’t sleep much.

Very well located

Nikki N. Families - 29/07/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

It was very pleasant Staff was lovely and helpful Easy check in and check out What I would change is making sure that there was no dead insects in the room before guests enter as this was my experience. Also no air conditioning which was difficult with the weather and having a 3 year old with me.

Sauna with poor customer service . Do not book

Customer review rating 0.5/5

Adrian Families - 29/07/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

We had an executive room. It wasn’t extremely hot outside, but the room was like a sauna for our two night stay. Despite providing a fan, it was not adequate to cool things down. The room and hotel is dated, and could be refreshed. There is a pool, but small. Also you can spend a long time waiting to use it. Maybe a booking system would work? Breakfast was a disaster on both days. The first day they could not core with the numbers. It was chaotic and frustrated staff, who were unhelpful. It was quieter on our second day, but the staff were not any better.

My young daughter and i stayed for 1 night so we could attend a hospital appointment. We were in room 302. The room its self was a good size and despite being near the lift was very quite. Unfortunately though the bath didn't work at all, no plug and no water comes out the tap. We had to make use of the fan as the room was unbearably hot and it was only 22 degrees outside. Goodness knows what it would have been like on a hot day. The breakfast was great and all staff fantastic. We made use of the pool which was a godsend when my daughter was awake at 5am. It would be helpful to have a time limit during busy periods as there was a considerable queue to use it. We were not the only ones to raise that with staff. We are needing to come back to Southampton but we are unsure we will stay again as the room was just far too hot to sleep and with a child in hospital any rest is essential.

Good value for money!

Clean room, friendly staff, good location, we asked for a fan as it was one of the hottest days of the year...we also brought our own fan just incase as we were a family of four. No complaints and would stay again :)

Anonymous Families - 26/07/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

On arrival the staff were not particularly welcoming. The bar had run out of white wine and most of the food on the menu. When I did order some food, the chef decided to add pesto to it in the absence of the correct dressing without letting me know. Unfortunately I cannot eat pesto and as I hadn’t been informed prior, I took a bite and sent it straight back. The bar staff were totally run off their feet and the service was terrible. There was a large function on in the hotel at the same time and the staff just couldn’t cope. We had booked a family room which was unfortunately situated right above the function room which kept myself, my husband and our 2 small children awake until midnight with all the noise. Overall we had a very negative experience and would not return.

Hotel was ok, a bit tired in places but the room temperature ruined the stay for us - it was far too hot and there is no individual temperature controls for each room

nooousername 26/07/2021 TripAdvisor review

I am struggling to understand how a hotel of this standing has no air conditioning and windows that only open a fraction. When i asked for a fan for the room as it was approaching 30 degrees, I was told that if there was not one in the wardrobe (there wasn't) then they could not help. Utterly hopeless.
