Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Bitterne Park offers good value, with some guests finding the recently redecorated rooms, featuring new bathroom fittings and good showers, particularly appealing, even though some noted minor issues like a patch of damp. The hotel's location is convenient, situated a few hundred metres from the River Itchen, making it ideal for an evening stroll, and a short taxi ride from the Southampton Boatshow; plus, a bus stop to the city centre is just a couple of minutes away. The pub garden is fabulous, with the restaurant offering a popular space and some guests claiming the best wraps ever. Some guests have pointed out that parking spaces might be challenging for modern car sizes.

there is no breakfast option in the hotel. a very nice place for breakfast is only a one minute walk away. the bar and restaurant downstairs is a separate business, but it seemed popular.
