Harbour Hotel Southampton
we really enjoyed this hotel. They had an a spa that was included that had a steam room, sauna hot tub and a pool. We missed the Michelin star restaurant but the other restaurant on the sixth floor was also very good. Very spacious rooms with good views of the harbor we would go back to this hotel ...

excellent

Novotel Southampton
The property does not have air conditioning, there are no phones in the rooms so if you have an issue or need something, you have to see someone at the desk. There were no washcloths in the bathroom. The beds were hard.

Easy check in with help on hand, room was nice, comfortable and had a great TV. Dinner was fine, bar staff friendly and breakfast perfect. Car park gets busy with Gym users, but found a space easily enough.
