Any suggestions on a decent or better Southampton hotel that is reasonably priced and centrally located?

 

There are a number of hotels that could conceivably meet your criteria. The following are probably the most popular used by cruise people.

 

A cluster of 3 hotels closest to bus and train stations (walkable) near the dock gates and next to a shopping mall

ETAP - ultra low cost no frills hotel, recently opened part of Accor group

Ibis - Next door to ETAP and owned by some people, and is one step up.

Novotel - Next door to ETAP and owned by Accor, this is the option if you want services akin to a 4 star.

 

De Vere - arguably the most plush full service hotel and can be very good value at weekends

 

Holiday Inn - typical Holiday Inn, looks a bit dated in a 60's block kind of way but is fine inside.

 

Jurys Inn - Nice mid range hotel, a bit further away from the port area than the above, but convenient for town centre

 

Southampton Park - Just along road from Jurys Inn and adresses a similar market to the Jurys Inn

 

Thre is a hotel map at the foot of the url below showing the above hotels relative position to each other, the cruise terminals and the bus/rail stations:

Thanks so much for your suggestion and the helpful map. Since there is a great deal at the Ibis and we will only need a room to crash after a long flight the day before our cruise, not to mention the great location, we'll opt for it.

 

thanks again

We were just on the Crown Princess and stayed in Southampton for two nights pre-cruise. We stayed at Hunter's Lodge. It's a B&B and is very nice. The host and hostess could not be more gracious and they breakfast was very good. We took the train to Portsmouth one day and just took a taxi to the pier on cruise day.
