The 30 Best Hotel in Southampton

“Lovely boarding facility, Abi is incredible with our bunnies! We had our bunnies do a long stay boarding, which we were initially really anxious about but from day one they were incredible, they let us cone view the facility before we booked and spent a lot of time answering all our questions, whilst in hoarding they took excellent care of the bunnies, who were all very happy there - I know cause they let us visit, which was amazing! They even helped us arrange a vet visit so our buns could get the vaccines. We felt 100% happy having our buns in the entire time. Couldn't recommend them enough!”

“My cat Vegas is so calm and comfortable when he visits. I know he's in the best hands with Jackie and Tim whilst we are away. If I could stay i would too, I was recommend by one of my clients. Who has been taking her cats to Hotel cat for years. Im so pleased he stays, we can relax knowing he is well looked after and loved at the same time. We will see you soon”

“Georgie, the owner, is marvellous! She takes loving care of our Saffie, who always looks very well, as she did recently, when we collected her after being away on holiday! The hotel is kept small to give frequent individual attention. The living quarters are superb! I Highly recommend Longcroft Luxury Cat Hotel!”

“We have been away for a whole week ,Ritchie was looking after our 11 months old baby cat i cannot recommend him enough! everyday we have received update on our baby plus pictures so we could enjoy our holiday in full knowing our baby cat is safe and well. The service provided was extremely well not only looking after our cat but also cleaning after him, My baby did received proper care with lots of love! Ritchie is very nice and approaching person there was no issues with adding extra visit last minute , there was no issues with contacting always getting back quick. I will also add this 5* service is very much affordable!! would like to thank you and will definitely get in contact when going away again! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Thank you for our welcoming card this is so cute!”

“Cottage Lodge Hotel is a wonderful place to stay. The staff are so welcoming and go above and beyond to make your stay brilliant. I only stayed one night but wish I had been able to stay there longer. The room had lovely decor and was spotlessly clean. Also the location is perfect, really central and close to beautiful walks in the forest.”

“I was worried about leaving my saphire here while i went away for a week as she is a very nervous cat and had a bad experience at another cattery. Well i didn't need to worry at all since she has been back a week now she is like a different cat so relaxed and chilled out so thank uou snuggles i will definitely bring her back with no worries at all”

“Ricky and Karen are lovely! It was my first time leaving my cat at a cattery and they made me feel so at ease. They have so much experience and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. They kept me updated with how he was doing, adapting to his behaviour. The cubicles are cosy and have their own individual radiators. My cat will definitely be staying here again!”

“Let’s rent southampton was amazing in helping me secure a letting as an international university student. They made the entire process so easy and made every accommodation to ensure my smooth transition. I really cannot express how grateful I am for their entire team! They really are the best!”

“Beautiful location. Nice and clean offices with great internet. Richard is always there with a smile on his face. Very friendly and helpful with anything you need. His knowledge of the location is great. I would recommend this office space for any company looking for temporary space or long time rent.”

“We have used Century21 Southampton for a number of years and they are the best estate / letting agents in Southampton. What we appreciate is their honesty and excellent customer service. They do genuine care for their customers which is refreshing.”

“Was lucky enough to have the opportunity to stay at this beautiful hotel. The team at Limewood are attentive, friendly and really make you feel at home! A very luxurious countryside stay with top facilities and high quality, seasonal food and drink..Loved the cosy fires throughout the hotel and it was a nice touch that you could hire a DVD for the room..a blast from the past! Thank you again for the hospitality and a memorable stay!”

“We enjoyed an overnight stay at this lovely hotel. Our ground floor room was delightful and spotlessly clean, with tea and coffee facilities. Parking was easy too. The breakfast, which was made to order, was great and the staff very friendly and helpful. We would definitely visit again!”

“We had a lovely weekend away at this beautiful hotel with our extended family. Fiona could not do enough for us and offered us a different room when the cabin was a little tight for us with two small children. The children loved it so much so we stayed in the cabin and it was so cute, with clever storage and a real unique rustic experience. I imagine the best experience in one of the cabins would be in the summer as there was a semi private seating area to enjoy a tipple on a summers evening. There was a large shower and everything is done to a high finish. There was also some lovely gifts left for us on arrival. My Grandad's room in the hotel was lovely with a big bathroom including a stand alone bath which he loved. On our second night my Grandad had trouble with the TV and a member of staff went up to his room immediately to sort it out. The food in the restaurant was of high quality and very yummy. We will definitely be returning when we next come to the New Forest, would recommend for couples and families. Thank you Spot in the Woods!”

“We have just stayed here for two nights (2 adults and two children aged 1 & 4). The hotel is lovely. Nice big room with a small kitchen and also a cot for our little one. The breakfasts were delicious and the hotel was only 20-25 mins from Paultons Park which we spent two days at. It was ideal! Special shoutout to the manager, Justine, who went out of her way each day to make my little girls feel special. From sprinkles on the hot chocolate to a complimentary ice cream, she really went above and beyond and it was so appreciated!”

“The room very nice clean and comfortable . Also have Nisalocal on the ground floor that was very convenient. Recommend!!”

“We recently stayed here and couldn’t fault it. The building and grounds are beautiful, the staff were attentive, rooms were well equipped and the breakfast that was included was amazing. We also got engaged here so it’s extra special to us now, and the staff helped my partner pull this off. We’ll definitely be back. :)”

“Wayne at The New Forest Dog Hotel was absolutely fantastic in looking after my dog, Casper, for a week while I was away. I loved receiving the daily updates with videos and images —it was so reassuring to see how happy and well-cared-for he was. Thank you again, Wayne.”

“Excellent dinner and first class service. Highly recommend this restaurant. We especially enjoyed the jackfruit filo pastry parcel. The beer battered cod had a super crispy batter with homemade chips and crushed peas would definitely return to have this again. The presentation was very good. Recommend booking.”

“1st class. Staff were great, good banter with the barman where nothing was too much trouble! Our room was superb, clean and had lovely personal touches. Breakfast was great along with the staff too. We were on a business trip but would love to go there again regardless of the 4hr journey!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem in the Heart of the New Forest From the moment we arrived at Woodlands Lodge, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism that set the tone for an unforgettable stay. The customer service was exceptional—every request was met with genuine care and efficiency, making us feel truly valued. The food was a standout. Dining at the Cattlegrid Restaurant was a delight, with each dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Whether it was breakfast on the terrace or a cozy dinner indoors, every meal felt like a treat. The staff were incredibly friendly, striking the perfect balance between attentive and relaxed. Their local knowledge and cheerful demeanor added a personal touch that made our experience even more enjoyable. Our room was lovely—tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, and wonderfully comfortable. Waking up to views of the surrounding greenery was a dream, and the peaceful atmosphere made it easy to unwind. One of the biggest highlights was the direct access to the New Forest. Just steps from the hotel, we found ourselves immersed in nature, with scenic walking trails, wildlife spotting, and endless opportunities to explore. There’s so much to do around the area, from charming villages and pubs to cycling routes and historic sites. Whether you’re after adventure or tranquility, Woodlands Lodge is the perfect base. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a relaxing escape with top-notch hospitality and the beauty of the New Forest right on your doorstep.”

“We stayed for one night prior to our cruise and we will definitely return. We have stayed in a few Southampton hotels but this is definitely our new place to stay. Beautifully decorated rooms with all the amenities you could need for your stay. Lovely selection of tea and coffee and separate coffee machine in the room. There are a lot of stairs but if you have a high floor this is not a problem with staff to assist you with your suitcases. We had a wonderful dinner from the evening menu with delicious wine. The breakfast was amazing in the morning, you will be stuffed and set for the day. All the staff we encountered were great. Stay here you will you will love it. My husband said it was the most comfortable bed he's ever slept in.”

“Just checked out of Habour Hotel Southampton. Would highly recommend. Was sick with motion sickness on check in day and staff was kind and helped. Room very clean, modern and looks very new, making for a very comfortable stay while I recover. Had breakfast this morning at the hotel cafe and staff were all very polite and breakfast delicious and done to a high standard. All in all a most enjoyable stay prior to boarding our cruise ship.”

“Fantastic food and great service. Had an early dinner before a gig...great choice of creative dishes...both veggie and non veggie. Food was all superb and quick and friendly service. Central location. Will definitely be back.”

“Could not recommend this guesthouse more. Kayleigh was so friendly and helpful. The room was clean and had lots of added little touches ie; toiletries, tea and coffee, tv and pull cord bedside light. Really wouldn’t hesitate to book to stay here again. Also breakfast was amazing! Freshly cooked and great choice of continental or cooked options. Parking was great too.”

“Excellent celebration lunch for 11 people today. Outstanding service from Debbie from initial contact to settling g the bill. Food was fantastic, nothing too much trouble, we will return very soon”

“lovely hotel, beautifully decorated and has a cool ancient elevator. the location is excellent, near local shops and new forest trails. the service was very attentive and breakfast was tasty and quite varied. nice view of the church across the street, only you can still hear the bells in the morning.”

“We had Sunday lunch today at the Forest Park Hotel today. We were welcome by the receptionist with a warm smile and she confirmed our booking for lunch. We were taken to our table by Tyler and given the lunch time menu and what was on the specials for lunch. He asked what drinks would we like before we ordered our lunch which we ordered . We all ordered the Sunday roast which superb followed by dessert, which again was superb. The service by all of staff was world class, they obviously love working at this lovely location and Hotel and nothing was not to much trouble. I would like to thank the following staff at the New Forest Park Hotel for a fabulous afternoon and food. Restaurant manager Mandy, Tyler, Charlie and Elizabeth. We will be back again - Nick Percy”

“Myself and my partner spent 3 nights at Carey's to celebrate her birthday. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time and left feeling relaxed and really pleased with our stay. We chose the Cambium restaurant to dine in for our first night and were blown away by the food and service we received! 10/10! During our stay we were equally impressed with the French restaurant which also lived up to the high standards set by Cambium with a romantic atmosphere. Our breakfast was included in our stay and we were pleased with the quality of cooked to order food available alongside the complimentary continental buffet provided which has a host of fresh juices, health shots and Healthy options too. We stayed in one of the garden view rooms which was perfect, relaxing, spacious, comfortable and clean with everything needed to chill out and enjoy some downtime. During our stay we made use of the spa facilities, including the hydrotherapy rooms too which were fantastic and well worth visiting. My partner also booked a massage and did mention it was hands-down the best massage she's ever had! We enjoyed time taking in the cosy atmosphere sat by the fire in the main reception area as well as drinks in the lounge and bar. The location was ideal too, just a short walk into the local village and on the doorstep of new Forrest trails which were all walkable from the hotel. We always felt extremely welcome, all staff were very attentive and courteous which always added to the luxury feel we experienced throughout! We will definitely be returning and would 100% recommend to friends and family.”

“Genuinely dog-friendly, wonderful place to say. Spacious hotel with lots of character. Plenty of outdoor areas to potter about in. Our room exceeded our expectations - amazing bathroom! Staff are welcoming and attentive. The dog bed and hamper for our greyhound were both thoroughly enjoyed. We genuinely really enjoyed our stay and would happily return.”

“Had a great time in Southampton Crossings with Julian and Zoe they were very helpful!! I recommend this building so much”
