De Vere Grand Harbour  

As we were travelling asx a group of friends it was very nice to eat ands drink at a leisurly pace and not feel pressured into giving up our table.

The decor in the rooms was a little dated and worn but this did not interfer with our stay.

It is well situated for alomst anything in Southampton. As a hotel to link to a cruise departing from Southapmton it is just ideal and has the requisite standards to make it feel part of the holiday

We love staying at De Vere whenever we are in Southampton. Is quite expensive normally so we look out for a good deals. We had any problems really.We would stay there again in the future. Inga

Its all good :)))

The breakfast was very good

The bathroom wasn't as clean as I would expect , dirty shower curtain and shower head and corners looking grimy.Generally I think the whole place is looking a little tied and in need of a refurbishment . tv picture poor quality and would expect flat screen with more channels these days

It was relaxing, staff were welcoming and, because we have been using the hotel occasionally for the last 6 years, it was like visiting an old friend.

Looking back over six years it is apparant that the hotel is looking a little tired. It needs a makeover/refresh. The standard of food at breakfast, while still good, is not to the same standard it was 6 years ago.

Convenient for catching cruise ships. Comfortable.

Perfect location for our over night stay prior to departing on a cruise. Excellent restaurant, beds comfortable and pleasant helpful staff. Thank you De Vere Grand Harbour a great start to a wonderful two week cruise.

There was nothing to dislike about the hotel.

All of it was great. The pool area and steam room were great. The view from our hotel was wonderful, upgraded to sea view with balcony. The food was faultless and the staff were impeccable.

Excellent service from the staff - all very efficient, helpful and friendly. Room comfortable, very good breakfast, perfect place to relax.

Convenience for what we wanted to do - room was starting to show its age but it was in good order & most importantly cleanly presented. The only issue I had was to do with the mandatory car parking charge that was embossed on my bill. I was asked if I was prepared to pay a £1 charitable donation, which I had no objection to but to find an additional charge for parking my vehicle in the residence provided car park I didn't think was a good idea. This additional fee charge was not mentioned at point of booking neither. I was willing to pay a added £1 to a charitable cause of there discretion but I didn't see any information which charity is there supported good cause & how much additional funds is added to that from the actual hotel. Perhaps there car parking fees should be put in the pot.

You will not allow me to tick both yes & no so I will utilise this box to do so and I say this because of the comments I have already gone & made.I Stayed at the Greenwich De Vere it only has three stars but it was more up to date. If the location is what it is all about then fine but would I book again because I was enthralled by its charismatic charm and surroundings "no" but the staff were pleasant and friendly. The only other thing that upset the occasion and this was totally our fault was I ordered some flowers for my wife as it was wedding anniversary & we inadvertently left them behind in the room.

Other than the fact that the hot water packed up on the Saturday so we were unable to have a bath or shower, very nice.

the spa and pool facilities are very good. The food in the resturant was excellent. also the service. The drinks in the bar are to expensive.

Nice and warn and comfortable wirh excellent breakfast

Room service very poor, we called around midnight to order from The limited choice. In offer, we asked what the soup of the day was and was told that they didn't know! Then they asked if we wanted them to find out ( of course we did that's why we asked what it was) we then asked for the fish cakes only to be tills that they couldn't do them as they didn't have any.
