The Holiday Inn is very comfortable for the night before a cruise....we have stayed many times. Avoid the Novotel though.

Expect prices to be quite high though due to the Olympics taking place about an hours drive away.

We too are on your cruise and there is an active roll call if you care to join us:).

 

Kind regards,

We are booked for our cruise in October at the Premier Inn West Quay. It was opened last May and the prices are pretty reasonable.

 

Beware of the Novotel. Stayed there almost 2 years ago. The staff was good but the room was dirty (cheetos under the bed) and very outdated (no a/c either). IMO, the place should be razed.

The Premier Inn West Quay seem interesting but since we plan to stay for the week-end after the cruise,

 

I cannot find and easy way to get to London to visit the attractions

 

any help would be appreciated

The reason to stay in Southampton is really for the night prior to a cruise...or for more nights only if there are things you want to do and see locally...

If your intention is to visit London and see the sights of London, then you really need to stay in London...Southampton is a three hour train ride away...

 

There are literally hundreds of hotels in London...all price ranges, all levels of quality...some are in nicer neighborhoods than others, some more convenient than others...

 

You will need to disembark the ship and head to London by train, bus, transfer or hired car or car service/taxi...

 

Find yourself a good location in London and, once there, you can get all over on foot, by Underground, by taxi or by HOHO bus tour...

 

Good luck...
