“Loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Stayed for one night and had a lovely time. The young guy that showed us to our room was friendly and welcoming and couldn't do enough to help us. The room was big, the bathroom was light and clean and the bed was sooooo comfortable. Southampton town was a nice short stroll away. Overall next time I'm in Southampton I will be booking a room here again.

Room Tip: Ask for room 6 it's at the back of the hotel and away from the road, although it's not a bus...

“One of my worst experiences ever. Wouldn't recommed it to anyone not even a pet. The lady owner Heather was so rude,she makes Jo”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

The level of her hospitality is some what to be desired. Scale of 1-10 with ten being the best,im afraid she dose not even reach one. Please take note people.

“Good fun & Good value”

My second visit, surely that's testament enough. Had a better room this time, on lower floor with large shower cubicle.
Good food, breakfast & dinner.
Now with free Wifi.
Live music in lounge many nights is good but you will hear it in many of the rooms, we didn't mind.
Friendly helpful staff and convenient to town, common & transport links.
I'll go back.

“Clean, comfortable and welcoming.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2011

I stayed here for one night as I was in the city for business. Upon pulling up outside I was concerned that there was live music in the pub which is part of the hotel....it was 9:30pm and I had driven several hours with an early meeting the following morning. However I need not have worried at all. From my room I could not hear the music or revellers in the pub.

The room was of a good size. Very clean and comfortable. Bathroom sparkled but I would suggest a shower curtain or door is put up so that the shower can be used standing.

The hosts were friendly but not invasive. Good coffee at breakfast. I cannot comment on the cooked breakfast as I just had coffee and toast!

All in all a great hotel and a great find for me. I will stay there again when in Southampton for business. Excellent value for money too.

“disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

One young man was managing the bar, reception and restaurant when we arrived at 8.30pm but he was friendly if harassed, The room was clean however only one bedside light worked and he was unable to find another. It was chilly and neither he nor we could persuade the heating to work - we took an extra duvet from the third bed to keep warm. The manager was unavailable both in the evening and as we left in the morning.
