The Spotlight on Lodge at Solent

Stylish Comfort Between Southampton & Portsmouth

Modern and relaxed, Lodge at Solent is a welcoming hotel set between Southampton and Portsmouth—ideal for concert-goers looking to stay close to the action without the city-center chaos. With a fresh, contemporary design and smart features like USB charging points, air conditioning, and even private balconies in some rooms, it blends comfort and convenience effortlessly. You'll find free WiFi, a 24-hour front desk, and an on-site bar and dining area to make your stay easy from start to finish.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a great choice for music fans catching gigs in both Southampton and Portsmouth with both cities just a short drive away. Late-night returns are easy thanks to nearby transport routes, and the peaceful suburban location means you’ll get a quieter night’s rest after the encore. The 15:00 check-in and 11:00 check-out times offer flexibility for afternoon arrivals and post-concert lie-ins.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for a base near multiple venues.
Solo travelers chasing that must-see tour date.
Couples making a weekend of live music and South Coast charm.
Fans needing a quiet recovery space after a loud night.
Budget-conscious concert-goers who still want style and comfort.

Food and Drink Options

You’ll find relaxed on-site dining that’s perfect for pre-show meals or post-gig snacks. While there's no formal 24/7 room service, the bar offers food late into the evening and there are plenty of walkable eateries nearby. If your night ends late, the continental breakfast served on-site makes for a convenient and easy morning.

Nightlife Options

While the Lodge doesn’t host live music itself, it’s well-placed for easy access to Southampton’s and Portsmouth’s nightlife. Whether you're heading to a stadium show or a local club, you'll find bars, lounges, and music venues just a short drive away. The hotel bar is a chill spot to wind down with a drink before bed.

What People Say

Guests love the modern, clean rooms and friendly staff. Many mention the peaceful atmosphere and say it’s a great base for exploring nearby cities. The balconies in some rooms are a hit, and people appreciate the quiet setting after a night out.

Areas for Improvement

The location is a bit out of the way if you’re looking for a walkable nightlife scene—but that’s also what makes it quieter. Some travelers noted that breakfast options could be more varied, especially for late risers.

The Bottom Line

A smart and stylish hideaway conveniently located between two major music hubs, Lodge at Solent is perfect for concert-goers who want comfort, quiet, and easy access to gigs.

Very good

Liked: I was able to request a twin bedded room as I was travelling with my elderly mother.Good breakfast.
Disliked: Although the beds were made up separately, they hadn't been split into separate beds. The shower was lovely and powerful but the water didn't drain away quickly enough to stop it overflowing. I reported it to reception in the morning, so hoping it will be fixed now.

A good stay generally

Liked: I am disabled and staff were very kind and delivered my breakfast to my room
Disliked: It needs refurbishing as the carpets have stains and looking threadbare. It all looks a bit sad.Also I had a disabled room and bathroom was great except for a very low toilet which was not good for disabled guests
