Since I was planning to go on a solo cruise out of Southampton, I needed to find the perfect and…read moremost affordable hotel for me to stay at the night before. After doing some research, I discovered this hotel. Selecting a room was easy and straightforward online. When I arrived on the day of check-in, I was two hours earlier than expected. I was still able to check in and get to my room and relax for the rest of the day. Later on that day, I went to their restaurant and ate some of the dinner. I dealt with two waiters while I waited for my food and both of them were very lovely. While I was in the restaurant I ate the chicken burger sandwich, which was very tasty. The gravy sauce on it gave it a nice flavor. For dessert, I decided to try the chocolate fondant which did not disappoint. As for my room, the bed was very comfortable. The room was very clean, but you do occasionally hear noises from either side of your room and in the hall. Another thing that was kind of annoying was the AC in the room. I am an American so I'm used to having AC at all times. The hotel here have AC, but they don't work that well in my opinion. Mine randomly decided to shut off in the middle of the night and I woke up kind of hot. I had to turn it back on and then it was fine, but that was one downside . Thankfully, that has not really bothered me and I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. If I ever take another cruise out of Southampton, I will more than likely book here again for convenience and familiarity.

They're somehow out of restaurant napkins and tissues. So they gave us drink napkins and toilet paper instead. I'm shocked that no one got in their car and went to a supply house or a market or something. It's Monday and they ran out of vegan breakfast sausage on Saturday, so they still don't have any. I know that things aren't immediate, but as part of the Hilton Doubletree network, how come they're running so lean and mean? I've never stayed at a hotel that just ran out of things and don't understand why they have no way to recover from that. As well, we're in a "King Deluxe" room, where the closed window blows in cold air (we showed a front desk team member how we rolled a towel onto the window sill to stop the cold air from going further. He explained that the "old windows" do that.). There are NO drawers except for a small piece of furniture that has 3 two foot wide drawers, and a shelf in the closet and on the open bedside tables. We opted to work out of our suitcases and just not unpack. We had the "Do not disturb" sign on the first day until we went out late afternoon, so our room was never cleaned and my husband took out our trash. The next day no one came so when we saw someone from Housekeeping, we asked if she could ask someone to clean our room because we had wet towels in the bathroom. I don't really understand what is going on, it's almost like Fawlty Towers. As nice as everyone is, I've stayed in nicer places - just about anywhere I've ever stayed. Even Days Inn has supplies. So, if you sneeze or want to wipe your mouth after eating, you better bring your own supplies.

The Basil Fawlty of the DoubleTree by Hilton Southampton…read more In more than 20 years as a Hilton Honors Diamond member, I've never been spoken to in public by a Hilton manager the way I was at this hotel. A simple request after waiting over an hour (after check in time) received the filthiest attitude in response! The individual who identified himself as the hotel manager (Ben English) was smug beyond belief, condescending, sarcastic, and unnecessarily confrontational. It was one of the most astonishing displays of customer service I've experienced from a global hospitality brand. I've since contacted Hilton Corporate directly because this doesn't appear to be an isolated incident. Reading through numerous guest reviews, particularly on @yelp, I found repeated complaints describing the same dismissive attitude and lack of professionalism from this same person. It genuinely leaves me asking: why has this behaviour been allowed to continue? A manager sets the standard for the entire hotel. If multiple guests are reporting the same experience over an extended period, that's no longer a one-off complaint--it's a leadership issue. The irony is that if Basil Fawlty were running a DoubleTree, he'd probably be told to tone it down. This felt less like checking into a Hilton and more like walking onto the set of Fawlty Towers. I have contacted Hilton Corporate to deal with this clown who is dragging their name into the dirt!

It's like walking into Grandmas house- very comfy and cozy, displayed glassware, and wonderful smells!!! We sat at a window seat so we could people watch, and ordered the goat cheese/croutons as an appetizer, tomato soup and slaw for my lunch and hubs had the 'streaky bacon' which was a wonderfully tender ham steak with apples and roasted veggies. It was all very tasty, I had a glass of wine and hubs had a local beer. 46 pounds total. We love their farm to table meals and we'd definitely be back. Service was friendly and efficient.

As our plans changed, I canceled the reservation about a month ago and received cancellation confirmation email however no refund. I have been calling the hotel weekly for refund at late night and early morning hours from California. The manager is supposed to take care of this but the front desk staff cannot get a hold off the manager. I left him another message at 4:30 am in California (noon in U.K.) hoping the manager will be around. I was again told he is not around and "will call me back" in an hour. No call back again. Frustrated, hope you don't find yourself in this situation for your refunds.

It's was fun watching but still understand the game :-) As a Diamond member, really bummed that lounge is closed and the only replacement is a drink coupon - how is that a fair adjustment??
