Solent Hotel & Spa Rookery Avenue, Whiteley, Fareham PO15 7AJ

"Back from a lovely 2 night stay at the Solent Hotel & Spa. Everything was just perfect and to high quality. The room was clean, spacious and very comfortable. the food was outstanding - from breakfast, to snacks to dinner! We enjoyed a day in the spa which was clean and not too busy (until 3.30pm when families started to enjoy the pool) The spa is lovely and we had a very good back and shoulder massage. The staff were outstanding -all very friendly and nothing was too much for them. would highly recommend!"

"A hotel just off J9 of the M27, with plenty of parking. It has a pool, gym & spa & it’s well designed & decorated with a unique layout as you enter the main doors & head inwards. We were there for a 3course dinner which was very tasty & served by pleasant & attentive staff. Would give it 5* if it was warmer!"

"A few months back I had booked a massage for myself and my wife. Staff were great and received a phone call a day before the appointment to confirm that all was okay. When we arrived, we walked through the hotel reception lobby which had Xmas decorations. We got to the Spa reception and staff were friendly and greeted you with a smile, we were taken to a waiting area which was calming and relaxing. We were offered drinks and some food while we waited before going in for the massage. We were then taken through to enjoy our 1 Hour wave stone massage, highly recommended it. It's brilliant and you leave feeling relaxed and refreshed, Massage therapist's were absolutely great, thank you to all the staff. Will be returning in the near future."

"What a lovely hotel!! This is my first visit and it definitely won't be my last! The service was excellent, all of the staff, and I mean all, were of the highest level and always with a smile and friendly manner. Our room was just right with little extras, and nothing was too much trouble. Thank You!!!!"

"If there were stars for the spa, it would be a 2 star. The restaurant was 3.5 star as we had a couple of negative experiences. The spa: We paid for 55 minute and 25 minute massages and facials. The 25 minute massages were only just 20 minutes. We complained and were refunded some of our money, which was fair. They stopped serving teas and coffees half way through the day - one of the things we like about the spa is that you can get a coffee by the pool :( they said they were too busy. Changing room and seating areas were not clean enough. Dinner was great. Good quality food and tasty. Very happy. However, breakfast was a whole other issue. Hair in our eggs florentine, totally raw fried egg, they forgot our toast until we asked for it and had to ask, and they only gave us enough tea for 2.5 cups full when there were 4 of us! All avoidable experiences, I thought. They had enough staff but they just weren't efficient or attentive enough."
