Suffolkcruiser73 Posted May 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Can anyone recomend a hotel with free parking and wheelchair accessible near Southampton for one night prior to departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orianababes Posted May 23, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Hello we usually stay at Holiday Inn and leave car parked there. There is a tariff for hotel night, parking, breakfast plus taxi to and from the ship. I doubt any hotel gives “free parking” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare carlanthony24 Posted May 23, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Don't know about any hotel offering free car parking in Southampton. Premier Inn West Quay is Wheelchair Accessible nearest car par is West Quay just to the side and is £5 for 23hrs and if you park after 6PM it went down to £3 not sure if that still is the case. I have also heard Holiday Inn is quite good but never stayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted May 23, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Not sure if OP was asking about parking for the cruise. We are staying at Elizabeth House Hotel. Parking on site and not that expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalos Posted May 23, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I would class Winchester as nearby to Southampton ,just 1/2 hour away 19 mile. So would be looking at Premier inn, comes with free parking . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolkcruiser73 Posted May 23, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Thank you for your helpful replies and will look at the options suggested. We have booked two weeks parking with CPS and just want to break up the journey to Southampton with an overnight stay before the cruise, so a short trip on the embarkation day would be ok. We don't mind Premier Inns for one night as we've generally found them ok. Looking forward to the first holiday abroad since 2019! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palaceman Posted May 23, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Just one more option. The Hilton at Ageas Bowl, Southampton. Approx 20 min drive to the docks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current M3 roadworks do make Winchester less attractive as an overnight stay, probably better to find somewhere south of the M3/M27 junction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shopaholic6 Posted May 23, 2023 #14 Share Posted May 23, 2023 The Pilgrim Inn in Marchwood, just across Southampton Water, is lovely, and only a short drive in the morning to the port ☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thejuggler Posted May 24, 2023 #15 Share Posted May 24, 2023 We have generally looked at Premerinn map and chosen the cheapest within 60-90 minutes drive from Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackworth Sue Posted May 28, 2023 #20 Share Posted May 28, 2023 We normally stay at New Place Hotel in Sherrill Heath outside Southampton and will be back there in October. In April we stayed at the Hilton Ageas Bowl Southampton, lovely hotel and would recommend both hotels. Both hotels have good cruise packages which include parking. New Place we book direct with the hotel and Ageas Bowl we booked via Holiday Extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The room and breakfast was fine but was not impressed with the parking. When there was a space, some were really difficult to get into as there was a mature tree to avoid and cars parked at different angles and even double parked (blocking in cruise parkers).

Catherine Thanks - yes I also read about the parking issues in some of the reviews on booking.com. We have decided to try the pilgrim inn in marchwood/hythe.

Amado and Judy Posted May 28, 2023 #23 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Do you know if the cruise in Southampton will leave from the cruise terminal or the Princess QE terminal which is further away from the National Express Bus station in Southampton. Our plan is to take National Express Bus from LHR to Southampton. We plan to get a hotel in Southampton (hopefully under $150) for one night to avoid the possibility of airline delays from California to LHR. I remember IKEA was near the bus station, but never walked into the city center. Any recommendations???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on which cruise you're on. The Southampton cruise ship schedule will tell you which berth is planned for your sailing, and the port map will show you which terminal that corresponds to.

I checked the website for an up-to-date version of that map. The map you linked is the Port Authority's most up-to-date one !!!!!! Wakey wakey, ABP For those sailing out of Horizon Cruise Terminal who can't see the place, it's berths 103/4, between City and Mayflower Terminals. And no, it won't stink of decayed bananas, it's a spanking new terminal building opened in 2021. JB 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
