Hotels near Southampton Botley Station

"I love this place and always use it when traveling down to see my family in Hampshire. The staff are always friendly and professional and the place is just gorgeous with nice big clean rooms and lots of facilities. The only tiny thing I'd say is that if you want a drink in the bar during office hours, you'll need to mention it to a member of staff in the restaurant as the bar isn't staffed all the time. They're more than happy to come through and make you one though so no biggie "

"We recently stayed at Marwell Hotel for two nights and, unfortunately, it was a mixed experience leaning towards disappointing. On arrival, we were given our key and sent to a room that clearly hadn’t been cleaned—half-made beds, a pint glass, a pepperami wrapper, no towels, and marks on surfaces. We had to carry all our belongings back to reception, which wasn’t ideal. The manager did resolve the issue and offered a complimentary drink while we waited, and we were moved rooms after about 30 minutes, which we appreciated. What let the experience down most was the atmosphere among staff. We witnessed multiple arguments involving management, including one near our room with the cleaning team and another with a receptionist. The receptionist remained calm and professional throughout, but the manager’s behaviour came across as rude and uncomfortable to witness. The second room was acceptable but not without issues—cold on arrival, with no working heating (an oil radiator was provided), and no windows to open, which made the room feel stuffy overnight. There were some positives: the bar food was lovely, and the staff we encountered there were friendly, although clearly understaffed. Breakfast was okay but limited, and service was slow. The hotel itself is in a great location for visiting Marwell Zoo and is peaceful, but it is very dated and in need of refurbishment. The website photos don’t reflect the current condition. The pool was also closed during our stay. "

"Parking was great. Fire alarm went off early in the morning and woke us all up. Corridor lighting was poor, security at front desk was poor"

"Traditional pub easy parking behind hotel"

"The pool was a good size. Rooms clean and good food."

"The food was very fresh and plenty to choose from the staff were very polite "

"Staff were excellent. friendly, helpful and happy to go the extra mile. Wonderful setting. "

"I thought the food at the restaurant (for dinner and breakfast) was pretty poor, and not up to the usual standard of Hilton hotels. I would stay here again, but it’s really nothing special."

"No problems"
