Solent Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"I’ve stayed at Solent Spa a few times now and have always had a great experience. The staff are consistently pleasant, friendly and happy to accommodate requests. I asked for one of the newly furnished rooms, which is always my preference, and was pleased to get exactly that. The room was spotless and very comfortable. There were just a couple of minor things that could do with attention. The fridge was missing its front badge, leaving a small hole, although it worked perfectly well. The interior glass from the door peephole was also missing, making it difficult to see clearly outside. The TV remote was intermittently not working, even after changing the batteries with reception. The car park exit barrier is the one recurring issue I’ve experienced. This has happened on both occasions I’ve stayed recently. The barrier tells you to wait 12 seconds, but sometimes it still doesn’t open, meaning I have to press the button again. Hopefully this can be looked into. Breakfast was good, and although I remember when Solent had a menu with table service, which was always a 10/10 experience, I completely understand why things have changed and have no issues with the current setup. Overall, Solent Spa is a lovely place to stay. Despite the few minor points mentioned, I had another great experience and would happily return. The friendly staff, comfortable rooms and overall atmosphere make it somewhere I’m always happy to stay."
