Summary of reviews
The Holiday Inn Express Southampton West by IHG, is a great budget-friendly option for those looking for a comfortable stay in Southampton. The hotel's location is ideal for various purposes with easy access to Poultons Park, the port, Southampton General Hospital and the motorway. The breakfast offers a wide range of delicious options and is included in the price, making it excellent value for money. The rooms are generally clean, tidy and comfortable with excellent showers and quietness. The staff is friendly and helpful with particular mentions for receptionist Greg and Ryan. The hotel offers ample free parking facilities, but some guests suggested that the hotel needs to provide more information or explanations about on-site parking. The hotel is also a great option for families with lovely, welcoming staff and proximity to Paultons Park and Peppa Pig World. However, the limited evening meal options and poor quality may disappoint some guests and the facilities are average with some maintenance issues. Overall, the Holiday Inn Express Southampton West is a great choice for a budget-friendly stay in Southampton.
