You can google it of course.

 

here are some web pages to start you off:-

We have stayed in the DeVere which is excellent but expensive.

 

The Jurys is fine

 

The Hilton is a little way out but it will provide transport to the cruise terminal, but not back

 

P&O have deals with some of the above but I am not sure about the other cruise lines.

 

In all cases it is often cheaper if you can stay 2 nights and look for the best deal. eg Hilton do a 2 night package with dinner on the 1st night at very good rates, but you have to pay upfront and there is no cancellation allowed. If there are more than 2 or more ships leaving at the same time the the hotels can fill up quickly so book well in advance.

I like The Star hotel, an old coaching inn on the main street. It has no amenities like pool, fitness center etc. and thus ony two stars but a lot of charme. Even Queen Victoria ones stayed there. It also right in the middle of the old town and thus ideally located for sightseeing and shopping.

There's quite a good hotel comparison and reviews section on this site http://www.travelsupermarket.com/travelmerge/travelsearch.aspx?package=5 HTH.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn on our Golden Princess cruise. Very clean, reasonably priced, very convienent, and within walking distance of food.

 

We also enjoyed the walk through the sections of the "Southampton Wall Walk" near the hotel and also wandered over to the dock where the Titanic memorial is located near the dock from which she departed.

The Grand Harbour hotel is very good and only 5 mins from the docks or a little longer to the QE2 docks. You will get a view of the ship coming in if you are up early say 6.30!!

We stayed at the Novotel. Moderately priced and clean. It's within walking distance of restaurants, West Quay shopping mall and the Odeon cinema complex. We told the front desk the day before embarkation that we needed a taxi at 11:30am. The following day the taxi was waiting for us and it took less than 10 minutes to whisk us to the terminal. The taxi cost was just 5 euros for all four of us.
