Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Harbour Hotel & Spa Southampton offers comfortable rooms, many with views overlooking the marina, and some guests particularly enjoyed the free gin decanter. The hotel's modern architecture complements its location in the Ocean Village, near cruise terminals. Guests appreciated the spa, with its lovely indoor pool; however, the jacuzzi was occasionally under maintenance. There are also many restaurants within a short walk.

high bedmissing information
The bed was too high. I needed to request a stool to get in and out (i found this quite inconvenient). There was no readily available information about the hotel except through IT. If guests do not have a smartphone, obtaining information is difficult. I thought the room could have benefited from a pen and paper. It took three days to get a "do not disturb" card for the door.

the breakfast was good last time i stayed, and it was again this time.
I was a little disappointed with the service in the restaurant, especially as we were there to celebrate a birthday. the hostess who greeted us seemed irritated. It. the food was bland and lacked flavor, and the limited dinner menu was difficult. I wanted something light, but the only fish was fish and chips.

The room was satisfactory and met my basic needs .
A mobile bar was stored in the corridor that was necessary to pass to reach the service stairs, this was not ideal. The public areas felt cramped and smaller than expected.
