Hotels in southampton

That is a budget hotel which is technically the closest to the cruise port and very popular with cruise passengers. It is very walkable to Horizon cruise terminal. The majority of people who book this hotel book it because of the short walk to the cruise terminals.

We sailed out of the QE2 terminal, but you're right, the Horizon terminal would be much more walkable!

I went from QE2 on my first Southampton DCL cruise in 2023. It was changed last minute from Horizon.

Ive done 2 Disney cruises from Southampton and a 3rd one booked for August.

Disney is using Horizon Terminal. There are 3 hotels less than 10 minutes walk from this terminal, IBIS Southampton Central, IBIS Budget and Novatel. All 3 share the same carpark and are located next to McDonalds and TGI's and across from the main shopping centre West Quay. Ive walked to the cruise terminal with my luggage ad it was an easy walk.

Holiday Inn recommended by your TA is a budget hotel. Its a bit further walk from Horizon Terminal about 15 minutes walk. The walk is easy as its the same side of the street as the entrance to the cruise port.

Leonardo is a mid price hotel. Its a bit further than the others from Horizon terminal and would be a 20 minute walk, as you have to cross the busy street at the cross walks.

Alot of UK people stay at Premier Inn, which is near Leonardo. Its also a mid price hotel.

Cruise embarkation mornings are very busy in Southampton, there can be up to 6 ships embarking and debarking in the morning. The walk to the cruise terminal from all the hotels is on the same road, they are just varying distances from Horizon terminal.

Which of these 3 did you like better? And is Holiday Inn the closest to Horizon Terminal...even including the 3 hotels you named.? thanks

Which of these 3 did you like better?

The nicest one is Novatel but my preference is Ibis Centre, not Ibis Budget. Ibis Centre is the middle one, when you look at the map and is directly opposite Horizon Terminal. I request a room at the front of the hotel and wake up early on embarkation morning to see the ship arrive.

And is Holiday Inn the closest to Horizon Terminal...even including the 3 hotels you named.? thanks

Holiday Inn and the group of 3 hotels are the same walking distance and time, but just from different locations.

I would check YouTube for room tours and then decide which one based on your budget and expectations for an overnight hotel.

Just to be clear, my post was about the Southampton Harbor Hotel. I believe it's over a mile away.
