  • Here’s my tour and review of the Holiday Inn Southampton on our overnight stay prior to embarking P&O Iona and a 1 week Northern Europe cruise! We have a standard double room on the top floor with views of the Solent and Ocean Cruise Terminal. We’ll Show you the room and its facilities, room service, the hotel bar and restaurant where we bump into Paul & Carole (love to travel), the hotel’s location to the 5 cruise terminals, parking arrangements and find out about accessibility. Is this an ideal pre or post cruise stay? Let’s find out!

    Thanks for the hotel overview, Jamie. Have booked this hotel (a standard room with sofa bed) for our pre and post-cruise stay!

    We’ve stayed here once and loved it. We had a top floor deluxe room and 2 weeks parking. It all worked really well. Would certainly recommend.

    We also stayed on floor 9 and had amazing views. Sad to see there were no water and chocolates in the room this time. They were complimentary last time. We have booked the parking package for our next cruise. Hope you're having a lovely time on Iona x

    OMG Jamie, you're killing us. We love watching these, but we're not due to go until May.
    We usually stay the night before in the Premier Inn across the road. But it was too expensive this time. You got a good price for this one.

    Recently traveled from London on cruise day, not too bad. This looks very nice. How hard would it be to put a safe in each room? People bring documents, money and other valuables to a cruise. Town did seem pretty safe.

    I've stayed at this hotel many times and have always enjoyed it. My only complaint is that the health club/swimming pool didn't reopen after the pandemic & is (I hear) due for demolition, if it hasn't already gone.

      Leonardo Royal Grand Harbour is usually a good price and decent rooms, likewise holiday inn, but my favs are Harbour Hotel, Pig in the wall and Ennios. Moxy also cheaper / good value

      Well P&O Aurora and Arcadia are adults only, Marella Discovery 2, Rui river cruises and also Disney have very nice adults only areas. It all depends on what kind of holiday / cruise / demographic you are looking for?
