The Elizabeth House Hotel

The Elizabeth House Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This is the second time we have stayed here because we were taking a cruise out of Southampton. We were there on October 22, 2026. Every staff member goes above and beyond to fill your needs and answer questions -- excellent service. We had the cutest room for 3 and the breakfast that was included was a nice touch. And so convenient to take a quick taxi ride to the port for cruises. Highly recommend."
