Reviews of Novotel Southampton
Exceptional – Geraldine from Ireland (8/10)
Room was comfy and spotless. Staff were lovely.
Very good – Cheri from United States (8/10)
The staff was very helpful. I really liked them. The location is across the street from the train station (of course it's not where you can walk directly across, you have to walk a short way to the corner to cross) so that is convenient. It's about a 10 minute walk to the West Quay shopping and restaurant complex, once you find the most direct path which took us a couple of days to figure out. Past that it's what I'd call a nice, adequate hotel. Nothing to write home about. Nothing bad either.
Happy and excited – May from United Kingdom (8/10)
Location for us to catch are cruise

Very pleasant stay. – David from United Kingdom (8/10)
We were allowed in at 11am. Even though check-in was from 3pm. Proper fridge, not a cooler like some hotels provide. Great choice of breakfast items. Staff helpful and accommodating.

The cooked breakfast wasn't very good sausage are not very nice they don't offer scrambled eggs and the fried egg was like rubber.
