Macdonald Botley Park Hotel & Spa

This was a 2-night stay with my son. It is about a 25 minute drive into Southampton from here, booked as we were visiting Southampton. Plenty of car parking, greeting by staff on entry was pleasant. I had booked a room with 2 single beds and on getting to room (132) the 2 single beds were pushed together, not enough space to seperate them. The room was a long walk from the reception. Ensuite for room was on the smaller size, the TV control in the room would not provide a guide to the channels. Kettle and drinks making were inside the TV cabinet, desk with chair to work at if required. Beds were comfortable and curtains blocked out all light from outside.

Very tired looking place that needs a total revamp, i have stayed in a few Mcdonald hotels and have enjoyed the experiences but not this one ,reception couldn't even phone a taxi for us.

Check in great, staff polite. Room spacious, parking free and ample,close to many things. Gym small but selection of free weights and machines, Pool (Ok) not great for lengths as its small and if a few people want to swim e.g. 3 you don't have room. Sauna and steam room working great. Food: Questionable ? Breakfast usually cold ❄ I came at 7 am and was the first to arrive, not very warm, I came at 7.30 am still not quite warm. I ate my tea (7pm ish) at the bar and the selection was not great and a round £25 still not great quality. my review: Hotel great , amenities good. Eat somewhere else.

Very comfortable room and friendly staff, good parking. What let's it down is the quality of the food, also the breakfast set-up is poor, cooked items lukewarm.

Arrived to the most beautiful reception with Christmas decorations and twinkly lights. Receptionist was absolutely wonderful and so kind (didn’t catch his name). Room was large and bed was unbelievably comfortable with pillows to match. Had breakfast on check out morning and were not shown to our table so there was a bit of confusion resulting in us not receiving our pot of tea requested, but the food was delicious and dining room was beautiful. We have stayed previously and we will absolutely be back, perfect for travelling to the zoo or into Winchester and Southampton.

Excellent stay and only a short drive from the cruise terminal

Nice cozy place with excellent staff and service. The indoor pool is great and the food in their restaurants are delicious. We are a family of four and our room was spacious with a king size bed and 2 folding beds for our kids (something I did not expect). I highly recommend for all types of travellers especially families.

The bed was extremely comfortable and I did an upgrade to a ‘suite’ so I don’t know if the bed in that room was any different to a standard room. Charging £24 for breakfast was ridiculous so I didn’t have that and as I was checking out heard someone complaining that the breakfast has been terrible. There is good parking and all in all an okay stay. Nothing spectacular so I would rate it all as ‘okay’ no more.

First visit and impressed. Nice festive and clean . Friendly and helpful staff and free parking which makes a change

How somewhere that could be fantasitc just lacked the attention to detai, how some things were amazing then were let down by a little bit of mantance, attention, or just plan good old fashined customer service. Yes i would stay again, but would say if they put slighting more attention to detail in it would be inmpressive. Worse thing was breakfast for 2 was 50quid, and being honest it was only just around the travel lodge standard
