Solent Hotel and Spa

my stay was very enjoyable, however wasn't aware that parking was now chargeable which is a bit of a let down.

Pas top dommage

Great food and service

Great service and staff beds were nice and comfy only down side was is to pay for swimming witch it should be free for people who stay there.

Stayed with my husband and 3.5 year old girl On 29th Aug. We had a lovely family room. It was clean had bed rails on both sides of the sofa bed. Our daughter got a little robe and slippers as well as a colouring set and juice which we thought was the cutest thing ever it made her feel special. The hotel is lovely and so is the staff. Close to paultons which is why we came. Swimming times for families with children are 7am to 11am and 3pm to 7pm. Our little one and ourself enjoyed the pool saturday after paultons and in the morning before check out. Check out was 11am. Friday night after we arrived we checked in unpacked then got back into the car drive 5 mins down the road to the shopping centre. On the saturday we had dinner in the hotel FYR grill. They had a wonderful singer. We ate at 630pm the food was lovely the only issue we had was that food from starter to mains was very slow like 40 mins by the time my child's main came out she was not interested in eating her food and was tired and wanted to go to bed. So I took her back to the room while the husband paid the bill. Would deffinately come back to this hotel again.

Attended a close friend’s wedding at The Solent Hotel and Spa and stayed overnight, an experience that swung between polished perfection and puzzling missteps. The wedding itself was beautifully orchestrated. From start to finish, the day ran like clockwork, with the bride and groom basking in a truly magnificent celebration. The wedding meal was a standout: perfectly cooked, elegantly presented, and served with finesse. However, the evening buffet was a letdown, lukewarm and overcooked, lacking the same care and quality. My room was a pleasant surprise, more suite than standard, spacious, spotless, and with a bed that delivered on comfort. Housekeeping deserves full marks. But check-in was chaotic, with too few terminals to handle the influx, and checkout wasn’t much better (though express checkout is offered). The hallway stations for fresh milk and water felt more hostel than hotel, padding down the corridor for a midnight cuppa in my nightie is not what I expect from a 4-star stay. The location offers plenty of free parking, which is a plus, but we weren’t warned about onsite workmen, opening the curtains to tradies at 8am was not the wake-up call I had in mind. Breakfast was served in a soulless side room with harsh lighting and average food. Overcooked offerings and a baffling layout, milk and coffee on opposite ends of the room, made for a clunky start to the day. Room quality rivals the Sofitel, but with a steeper price tag and far less polish. The Solent Hotel has potential, but it’s currently whispering luxury while shouting inconvenience.
