The only thing this hotel has going for it is the location, situated right on West Quay opposite the Grand Harbour hotel, the headquaters of Carnival Cruise lines and the large city centre shopping mall. The rooms are very tired, the lifts are extremly noisey and overall its just an old hotel that needs knocking down and re building!! The... More

Booked online for a 2 nights for 1 deal. They should have debited my card £175 but I discovered a few days later they had taken £200. I rang the HI customer service department, who told me to ring the hotel direct because they had changed the booking! I checked my confirmation email to double check the total amount that... More

Thank you for your comments regarding the mix up with your booking charges. As I put in my letter to you, on some specific hotel bookings which come via out central reservations system, we have to do a manual adjustment for internal accounting purposes. Sadly on this occasion, it was not administered correctly resulting in an overcharge which we refunded... More

I stayed for 4 nights on business in Southampton and during my stay there were a couple of problems with housekeeping but I must extend my thanks to duty manager Rachel for all her help and understanding. I found the customer service excellent and the food very good. The views from both front and back of the hotel are great,... More

I wanted a cheap weekend getaway to see a show...This is FAR from what I got. I had the hotel booked for over 2 weeks and was very excited but on arrival I was informed about a 50 security deposit that would NOT be removed from my account unless I was to use it or cause any damage. After asking... More

Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay with us. I am very sorry about the situation you encountered with the £50 security deposit which was taken on arrival. This is a company policy & the money is not removed from your account, it is earmarked but it is most unfortunate that it did not allow you to have funds... More

Upon arrival we were promplty checked in with no complications. The lobby is very open with a nice bar/restaurant area. The rooms are basic, clean,... More

Stayed 16th March for 2 nights. Ideally placed for those joining a cruise ship. Also adjacent to the West Quay Shopping Centre. Usual holiday inn breakfast, fruit, cereals, bacon etc. and fresh croissants. Restaurant ok as well as downstairs lounge. Stayed in one night and found drinks relatively expensive but this applies in most hotels. Stayed on the 7th floor,... More

We stayed in a family room which had a superb view of the sea! The room was clean with all the facilities we needed & a lovely little sofa bed made up for our little girl. The hotel is conveniently situated within walking distance of the city shops and if you fancy a stroll along by the sea, it's ideal!... More
