6/10 Okay

"The Bathroom was difficult. The shower was uncomfortable to use."

Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour

6/10 Okay

"This was booked for a night before the Take That concert. Although it was booked a very long time ago it was very expensive, £367. We expected a high standard hotel. The bedroom was large but on the shabby side as was the bathroom. The table was marked as was the dressing table. There was a well used looking Nepresso with only 1 pod of each of coffee so we both couldn't have decaf. The beds were very comfortable with 3 different types of firmness of pillow, which was appreciated The breakfast options were plentiful but the cooked breakfast items were only luke warm and there wasn't any gluten free bread available. Would I stay there again? Probably not as there are many hotels nearby that are a higher standard for less money."

Royal Maritime Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"We had a lovely time. However the gorgeous valentines meal and wonderful entertainment was dulled a little when we were directed to the back of the hotel with peeling wallpaper and a very tired looking room. Staff were fabulous and the food was delicious."

Meon Valley Hotel, Spa & Golf

2/10 Terrible

"From start to finish the stay at this venue was one of the worst I've experienced. We were staying as a wedding party and were told that we didn't need to book for dinner as there were ample people on hand to accommodate. Turned out there was 1 bar staff and one chef so they could only take 5 orders at a time and you then had to wait for another 15 minutes before the next 5 could order. In the end half our party left to go and get food elsewhere as after an hour and a half most still had not even ordered food. The manager admitted this was still being used as an asylum hotel and they had skeleton staff. We didn't book breakfast due to the extortionate price, however, we did go down and sit with the family. Breakfast should of been from 0630 - 1030 but didn't open until 0720 and shut just after 9 on both days due to staffing issues. Added to this, there were no bowls for cereal, the food was awful and to top things off one of the party found a metal screw in his beans! I would recommend hotels.com remove this hotel from their site until it gets itself sorted as it is one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in"
