Top Friars Cliff Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour

Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour

8/10 Good
"Would be excellent but for the tiny shower cubicle in the bathroom in our suite in which a massive jacuzzi bath had taken up a huge proportion of the otherwise spacious bathroom. The Bidet was very nice addition though. Lack of detachable shower hose in the shower cubicle was very annoying, especially as there was hardly room to move in there. Fixed shampoo and soap dispensers on the wall instead of individual items left out was also disappointing for a hotel of this grade. Otherwise, general areas, the room itself and the very good staff did the hotel credit. These bathroom niggles and the tatty state of the pool and sauna area however prevents this hotel from getting an “excellent” rating from me."

8/10 Good
"We had a lovely stay, the staff were very helpful and super friendly they responded to all queries very politely. Our room was very clean except a couple of peanuts in shells on the carpet. The hotel is a a bit dated but it does add to the character. Breakfast was reasonable, there was a good variety of options on the menu but the portion was a bit on the small side. I would say the hotel offers good value for money"

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good
"Good stay overall, but the hotel didn’t quite have the level of grandeur we expected from a Marriott. We booked two rooms and appreciated being given adjacent ones on the first night. The rooms looked good in terms of listed square footage, but the proportions were awkward and made parts of the space hard to use. The air‑conditioning also didn’t work. Later that night, we were moved to interconnecting rooms with working air‑con, which made a noticeable difference. The pool has great views, but despite being advertised as heated, the water felt cold and appeared to more reliant on sunlight than a heating system. It warmed up as the day progressed. After swimming, my eyes were irritated for several hours, which raised concerns about the chemicals used. A pleasant stay overall, but several details fell short of what we’d expect from a Marriott‑branded property. "

8/10 Good
"The staff were very helpful, the only (first world problems) issue we found was the shower - the pressure drops and you get no water and then 2 minutes later it comes back on. Our room was good, reasonably comfy. One of the bar staff was a bit snippy but the bar was very busy. Overall we would stay at This chain again."
