Review summary

Based on recent reviews

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.

I had to chase for months to secure our appointments, and even after escalating the issue to the spa manager , I was repeatedly called by the wrong name. Then , upon checkout , I was presented with incorrect charges , and it took multiple attempts to resolve the bill.

high bed missing 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.

slow lift cramped public area

The room was satisfactory and met my basic needs .

I found the lifts to be quite small and slow it was a notable inconvenience. 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.
