Southampton as far as i am concerned is only good for boarding a ship. They refer to this city as a bit rough . I agree totally.
I stayed at IBIS Southampton city Center. It’s so close to the Horizon terminal 8 minute walk with luggage. Note all I’d the side walks are uneven making it hard to roll your suitcase. One of my luggage wheel was damaged.
I only recommend the hotel for its proximity to the terminal. The room was clean but no air conditioning and they don’t honour their 2 pm check in.
The old town is tiny with a bit of the old city wall. At night there are motorcycles gangs and overall it’s a rough area.
I won’t take ships out of this port again. The national express bus was late and they cancelled the return without advising me.
I took a train to Waterloo station. It was packed and no where for luggage unless it’s snail for the overhead. Than the tube to paddington. Warning you must use your credit or debit card to get in out of the stations. It will cost you more than double if you use cash. I then took th Heathrow express to the airport.
If you can avoid Southampton as your departure port do so.
Hope this helps
Marcia
