Recent Reviews in Portsmouth City Centre

Harbour Hotel Southampton

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed our stay but it was slightly spoilt when we went to the Harbar in the evening to have a cocktail. We arrived at the bar which was very busy as there was a disco taking place. The bar staff were excellent and very busy but it was spoilt by the behaviour of some of the party goers at the bar. Some were swearing and being abusive to the bar staff when they refused to serve them. We sat outside on the decking to have our drink but it was still very loud with several people who had clearly had too much to drink. We are not against young people enjoying themselves but we felt that it affected our experience and we actually only stayed for one drink and went back to our room. We felt that your hotel is of a high standard and guests pay a premium to stay there rather than at other hotels in Southampton, but we did not feel that the experience on Saturday night was a reflection of the standard we would have expected. Please do not think that we are criticising the staff in any way, they were all very polite and helpful as always."
