Harbour Hotel Southampton
The staff were welcoming and helpful. I had forgotten my phone charger and they lent me one with no fuss. The hotel and communal areas were clean. The gym has plenty of equipment and even a separate studio room.

Leonardo Hotel Southampton
Simple, but clean and comfortable. Temperature of room good and double glazing helped with road noise. Good service, convenient for city centre, will likely stay again.
