What guests think

At ibis budget Southampton Centre, travellers consistently highlight the convenient location for the train, coach and cruise terminals, generally friendly staff, and compact rooms that suit short, no‑frills stays at a modest price.

Rooms are often described as hot due to no air conditioning, with limited power sockets, minimal storage, and quirky layouts where the shower opens into the bedroom. Noise from nearby roads or the adjacent McDonald's affects some stays, and facilities are very limited, with paid parking, occasional lift problems, and kettles only available on request for a fee or deposit. Cleanliness feedback is mixed—many find rooms clean, but several report stained bedding, unpleasant odours, or missed housekeeping—while breakfast is basic and sometimes considered poor value. Expect a simple, budget stopover close to transport, best for one night.

Very clean room, but very basic. Tea & coffee machine in reception only at £1.50 a cup. 2 plug sockets, but none close to mirror, so difficult to do hair. Parking charges increased - now per calendar day, rather than per 24 hrs, so an overnight stay is charged as 2 days!

Very clean rooms and comfortable. The doors are not easy to operate - it would be appreciated if somebody told us to swipe the card in and out quickly - been struggling with mine 4 or 5 times & had to go back down 3 floors to reception each time. My basin sink is blocked and no hand towel. Also really disappointed with the no kettle. Some people spoil it for others. Added to that there is a charge for tea, coffee & milk! I might try Travellodge next time although further away. :(

I did not try the extra charge continental breakfast buffet. Handy to ships and everything! Two blocks from coach and train stations.

Total ripoff, prices surged almost 100 percent. Room dirty, all soap receptacles empty, room had a used toilet paper roll, floors so dirty, my white socks were black, the room heater wheel broken off, it was on its side. Microwave in lobby filthy another guest was repulsed and wouldn’t use it. The desk manager was advised of these issues and didn’t offer to fix our room issues. The only offer a free breakfast and after seeing the microwave filth, we declined. Station away from this badly run dump !

Just to say this was one of the most comfiest beds I have been in during a hotel stay in a long time, unfortunately also one of the loudest hotels I’ve stayed in. I didn’t manage to sleep as there is so much activity throughout the night in and around the hotel, doors slamming and loud voices outside at 2.30am. Our accessible room had plenty of space but not ideal with the child’s bed positioned above the double, my son has Cerebral Palsy and found it difficult to get into bed. It is in a great position though, only a 20 minutes walk away from the port we needed.

The layout of the room is very strange. The shower cubicle is beside the bed and there’s a mirror opposite it so not much privacy in that respect. The toilet is in a cubicle of its own. The bed was reasonably comfortable but the room was FREEZING as the heater didn’t work.

Hello. The check-in process was flawless starting with the email to pre check-in and concluding with our early arrival at the front desk where the staff took care of us quickly and efficiently which was appreciated since we had just flown in from Canada and were very tired. The rooms were clean, efficient and as described - closer to a dormitory room than a high end traditional hotel room - which was fine as we were only there for the one night prior to getting on to a cruise. The hotel is easily reached from the Southampton Central station, the cruise port and the Old Town.

The Ibis budget Southampton is a nice property within 10 minutes walking distance from the Central train station, and the Old town. Ask for a room on the north west side of the hotel(Non-smoking rooms) The other side, facing McDonald’s and TGI Fridays gets a lot of street noise, that you can hear if you keep the window open. I would also like to give five gold stars to one of their employees at the reception desk. Pedro was fantastic, and extremely helpful not only to me, but to many guests! Definitely an asset to the property! There are restaurants in two hotels next-door, a TGI Fridays, and McDonald’s right next to the hotel. Also, I would recommend IKEA, which is a few minutes walk away. They have a restaurant on the fourth floor, serving, reasonably priced meals, more of a cafeteria than a restaurant. The salmon plate was 7 British pounds, and they also serve fish and chips, Swedish meatballs, salads, and several desserts.

The pillows were a little bit lumpy but the bed was fine- overall good value for the price I paid and a good base in Southampton 10 minutes walk from both the coach station and the train station
