Rooms were spacious, modern and clean. We didn’t use the spa due to only staying one night and the extra charge as booked through Expedia but if book direct, it’s included. Breakfast was £16.95 and worth it. Great choice. Lovely outdoor seating area. Beds comfy. Bathrooms good. Quiet location. All was good.

Shower Good and powerful.
No Apps on TV - Disappointing as limited and unable to mirror from phone.
Breakfast was Average
Booked in for what is supposed to be À la carte Ordered our starter and mains.
Waited for over 40 minutes they were very busy - and then the main course came out - we said we haven’t had the starter - they offered to take the food back and bring the starters. We then opted to only have the main which wasn’t the best below average.

We recently stayed for 2 nights Friday-Sunday as we were attending a family wedding on Saturday.
Checked in to the hotel at 8.50 and had a dinner reservation at 9.
Upon going to our room at about 11 we noticed a letter from the hotel on the bed. Apparently their new policy is not to service the room for stays of more than one night unless they are asked. However you have to let them know by 10 the night before. As we were an hour late I telephoned reception but there was no answer.
The following morning before breakfast we went to reception to ask for our room to be serviced sometime that day. We explained that we would be out from midday to midnight. The receptionist advised us that our room would be serviced later in the afternoon that day.

Kids gift pack in the room was great! Room was very tired, and the bathroom was quite damp and mouldy. A shower only had a full height head, but no shower cap provided. Didn’t use facilities as when I booked the hotel it told me I needed to book and pay extra, we were only going to have an hour so didn’t bother bringing swimwear. Turns out swimming was an option available included for our booking.

Dinner was disastrous, but once we had spoken to 3 staff it was dealt with. However it did put a downer on the stay which was for a special occasion.

Buyer beware. We booked a two night break at this hotel using Tesco points . 5 days b4 our car engine blew up on the motorway. This hotel would not even let us defer this break let alone refund us the cost . This happened despite hotels.coms best efforts to intercede on our behalf. Just pure profiteering .

Great hotel and spa facilities. Shame about the TVs that have no TV guide facility due to them being linked into some daft hotel menu nonsense. The two rooms I stayed in also had screens that were failing and were almost entirely blue in tone due to the cheap outdated Samsung TVs that are in all of the rooms.

I had an overall positive experience during my recent two day stay. Check-in was seamless, and Emily was incredibly welcoming and accommodating to my needs, which made a great first impression. The staff throughout my stay were friendly and approachable, and I really appreciated the warm service.
The room itself was a nicely refurbished space, comfortable and modern, which added to an enjoyable stay.
Unfortunately, there were a couple of housekeeping details that were overlooked. I noticed hair (not mine) across the shower tiles while I was in the shower, which was unpleasant, as well as some splatter marks on the mirror in the living area. I arranged for the room to be cleaned the following day through the app and also mentioned the specific areas needing attention to the receptionist the next morning, who assured me she would inform the cleaner. When I returned later that day, the room had clearly been serviced; however, the same areas had been missed again.

Despite this issue not being rectified, my overall experience was still a good one thanks to the lovely staff and the comfort of the refurbished room. With a bit more attention to detail from housekeeping, it would have been excellent.

The room was lovely, very spacious and comfortable.
We didnt realise until later in our stay that you needed to request your room to be cleaned relying on Qr codes that we missed.
Breakfast times were confusing and not very well comunicated. We arrived on time but felt rushed as they were trying to clear things away. My partner had to ask for his breakfast to be heated up

A real gem! We booked it last minute after a disaster with our first hotel. We walked in and immediately felt welcomed. It has a lovely feel, smells gorgeous and the spa is stunning. Food in the restaurant was delicious and staff are friendly. It was a nice treat for my birthday. We’ll definitely be staying again. Thank you 🤗

Overall our stay was good and as expected as we have stayed here many times before. However as we were staying two nights we expected as normal our room for our second night to be serviced ready for a fresh stay on night two. However disappointingly when on returning from a day out visiting family it clearly had not, we asked reception if this could be done as soon as possible as we needed to get ready to entertain family in hotel restaurant that night they said they would see to it straight away. After an hour it still wasn’t serviced we asked again and was told it would be done straight away. A new policy wasn’t mentioned. It was then shortly after a staff member knocked in the door to tell us that two weeks ago they introduced a new policy that it had to be requested via an app before 10am if your staying more than one night. Apparently there was a card in the room advising of this that we missed as never having had such a policy in a hotel before and crucially it was NOT mentioned or warned about to us at check-in as a new policy introduced only two weeks prior. They tried to rectify it with new towels but housekeeping had all gone home so room could not be serviced. So be aware you have to request this now.! We wondered why would you not have a room serviced and refreshed, as paying same rate for both nights? to have with bins emptied, fresh towels, toilet rolls, tea coffee refreshed, room cleaned etc etc especially as no reduction in room cost for doing it yourself.!

I usually stay at the Lodge - the breakfast is better at the Hotel, but my room was dated, no plug sockets near the bed and the bathroom has seen better days...
The Lodge is simpler and more basic, but is so much more modern - and the WIFI is much better !!
The room I had (202) was a suite but due to the above was 'average' at best

Very underwhelming

Very underwhelmed at our stay here. Whilst the pool and spa area were nice, you have to pay additional to use just the pool (£30 for a family of 4 or £15 per person). The hotel as a whole is very dated, and check in took 30 mins as check in system is very very slow. Rooms are very cramped, there were 4 of us in a room and barely any space for a cot. Whilst they have the white company toiletries, the bath is super narrow. The food at the parsons restaurant (more a sports bar) was terrible, burger was burnt. Breakfast however was nice (you can order avocado and poached eggs). Overall giving 2 stars as the value is really bad and I won’t be staying here again

We booked a suite. The bedroom and the living room were very tired and needs a lot of work on them to bring to the standard we expect for a four star hotel. The shower is over the bath rather than being a walk in shower. There was no shaving mirror. The sockets in the bedroom need to be next to the bed. It needs to have more sockets for plugging in our telephone and iPads. The Spa is very good. We had massages and made good use of the jacuzzi, steam room and the sauna.
The menu for the restaurant and the bar is limited to just a few dishes and the booking system for the restaurant needs attention. We turned up on time and the staff on the door said we had to sit outside! At 8.45pm it was cold and we didn’t have warm clothing with us. After several minutes we were shown to a table inside. There were some tables that were empty when we arrived and never got filled. We enjoyed our stay but we had a few little niggles.

The room was lovely and clean, the fresh milk and water was an nice added extra! The bathroom was a little dated but nothing wrong with it.

Lovely spa hotel

We had a lovely stay for 2 nights over Easter weekend.
Positives- we had a one year old, cot was provided on our room ready. Plenty of space. Each fridge in the room has two bottles ready to top up water or milk, both available from dispensers on each floor which I loved.
Staff were all lovely and helpful.
There’s a restaurant and a pub so we ate in each for dinners.
Pool is lovely and warm. Children hours are only up until 11am and between 3-7pm. Didn’t bother us but a little annoying when you have to leave the pool.
Had a lovely massage at the spa but expensive.
My mother in law was struggling with mobility and they lent her a wheelchair.
Negatives - lifts broke that weekend before we’d arrive.
I’d requested 2 rooms close to the lift, one due to mobility and the other due to having a baby. They had allocated us growing floor but not my in laws so we had to swap with them meaning carrying a buggy up and down the stairs. Appreciate it can happen but extremely frustrating and made the weekend difficult.
Also as of February there’s now a charge of £15pp or £30 per family to use spa for 48 hours. The hotel agreed to waive this as we’d booked in January but we should have been made aware and we’re not until the day of the trip by email.
Also received way too many emails from the hotel in the run up.
Breakfast was ok but felt could have had more choice. No salads or cheeses, no hash browns, mushrooms tasteless.
Overall would definitely go back as was a lovely venue

Had a great stay at the Solent hotel. Spa and Swimming facilities are really great and modern. Staff and general services are all good and friendly. The rooms are a little outdated and you can hear your neighbours through the walls. The big problem for me was the terrible beds! unfortunately, ours was awfully soft with a big dip in the middle...I expect better from a 4 star hotel.
Overall good stay - would probably return to use the Spa facilities but not stay the night again.

Overall quite a disappointment. Same price paid via Expedia as hotel charges when booking direct, except spa/gym facilities not included in rate. It's hidden in the small print so you don't realise until they email you to ask you to pay an additional £15 per person. Feels a bit like a rip off.

The room is quite dated, not well designed (no plug sockets next to the bed, huge empty space on one side of the room with all the other furniture pushed to the other side, poor lighting, and next to zero soundproofing. You can hear everything in the corridor and the adjacent rooms, including toilet noises. Can't turn off the fan in the bathroom so a constant hum. Not great for a light sleeper.)

Everything just feels a bit cheap. Like every cost has been kept down - from the cheap plastic not soft close toilet seat to the single (overcooked) egg with a full English breakfast. Don't even think you could enjoy a nightcap - the bar closes at 11pm.

Breakfast was alright but overcooked and, like everything else here, felt stingey. Portions kept to a minimum. In fairness the staff were great in accommodating my gluten allergy but the 6 or 7 emails and phone calls asking us to pre-book a time started to become a bit like harassment. Noted: when we got to the breakfast room it was half empty.

Honestly? You'd be better off in a Premier Inn.

Good points: most staff we encountered were brilliant. Hotel generally was clean and tidy. Rooms were very much so. Fresh milk machine in the corridors rather than tiny long-life cartons.

Not so good points: Excellent menu is really let down by the execution. Breakfast was stopped at 0915 which meant one of us missed it altogether despite having paid for it. The Spa area staff were extremely unattentive and waved me through with no towel or locker fob, meaning I had to head back to reception in my swimwear to get a fob (no towel). Both external Jacuzzi's were non-operational. Fresh milk machine was empty by early evening and not refilled prior to us leaving mid-morning the following day.

Overall it was 'ok'. Not bad per se, but let down by some aspects that, given its location by the motorway, leave you with the impression it's sort of a slightly posh Premiere Inn with lofty aspirations. None of these things would be that bad if it wasn't for the premium price to stay there, the premium price for breakfast, and the very premium price for restaurant food given the result.

Good: family friendly, swimming pool, nice bathroom and White Company toiletries. Robes, Spa and changing rooms. Quiet, nice grounds. Breakfast. Good wine list. Good decor and impressive looking restaurant. Made for a great relaxing weekend for us as a family before kids are back at school.

Could do better: reception greeting on arrival - was told booking via Expedia meant we couldn't use spa (totally incorrect). Staff were overall helpful but gave average service; I think this was lack of training rather than lack of care, eg checking on us, topping up drinks. Something for management to work on.
Would have wanted more for the price it costs to eat there. Food too expensive. Could be a better lunch option as we didn't want to pay £18 for a sandwich and kids menu was the same for lunch and dinner which gave them less choice. Sunday lunch was poor - fatty cut of meat meant very little was able to be eaten.

Would recommend for a weekend break but maybe seek other food options if you don't want to spend too much each meal time.

I recently stayed at your hotel from August 9th to 10th. I am writing to express my profound disappointment and shock at the unacceptable and neglectful service my partner and I experienced during our stay.

Upon arrival, we were immediately confronted with a broken toilet seat in our room. The base was secure, but the lid was completely detached. We attempted to contact reception to address this issue, using both phones in the room, only to be met with six failed attempts due to non-functioning lines. This forced my partner to personally go to the reception desk—a situation that is not only highly inconvenient but also indicative of gross negligence in maintaining your facilities for incoming guests.

Adding to our frustration, the television in our room was non-functional. After some effort, we managed to get it working, only to find that the screen was tinted blue, making it unwatchable. Within the first hour of our stay, we found ourselves with a broken toilet, phones that did not work, and a malfunctioning television. This is far below the standard of service one would expect from a hotel of your reputation.

On the morning of Saturday, August 10th, we requested that the toilet be fixed immediately. We were assured by reception that maintenance would address the issue. However, after an hour, we had to leave the hotel without any resolution. Upon our return that evening, we found that the room had not been entered, and the toilet remained untouched.
