Moxy Southampton
A well-located hotel in the heart of Southhampton. Courteous staff, trendy decor, nice bar and a good breakfast buffet. Rooms are a little small and no room safe; otherwise , pretty nice.

Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour
Excellent staff and service in hotel. However, the hotel hires a third-party company to manage their pool and facilities. The third-party staff and manager on duty were extremely rude to hotel guests and trying to tell guests that the facilities were full and that you need to reserve time slots ahead ...
