Top Cowes Hotel Reviews

ibis budget Southampton Centre

ibis budget Southampton Centre

6/10 Okay
"It is a budget hotel and you get a great sized, clean room with shower and toilet. There isn't a separate bathroom, the shower and sink is in the room with a separate small room with a toilet. Location is great, being less than 5 mins walk to the train station, Ikea and West Quay. The things I'm missed was the tea/coffee making facilities. I think it is expensive for what it is but was fine for one night. However, if I was staying again, I would try to get into the Ibis or Novotel which are next door as they aren't much more expensive and have much better facilities."
