34-35 High Street, Old Town, Southampton, SO14 2HN, United Kingdom –

The hotel needs a major renovation of the rooms, lobby, and outside of the property..

Steve, United States of America

The location is great. Breakfast is wonderful. Personnel is very friendly.

Paul, France

waiter took note of my comment that it was my cousins birthday and her dessert arrived with happy birthday written on it

Geraldine, United Kingdom

It was close to the train station, the staff were friendly, the price was excellent, and the room was spacious. Had an iron and ironing board in the room too, which is always a bonus.

Richard, United Kingdom

Perfect stay. I have stayed in the hotel earlier but the manager had personally chosen the room for me this time and made sure that everything was perfect. It was nice, peaceful and comfortable stay.

Ashish, United Kingdom

Great place to stay, close to shops, restaurants etc Close to the pier for cruise and on time taxi service. Comfortable bed, clean room.

Gail, Australia

Very good location and great spot in the center of Southampton

Mohammed, Abkhazia, Georgia

My husband arrived just as the restaurant was closing but we were offered both the bar menu and the restaurant menu.

Front desk staff were helpful in organizing ground transport. The location of the hotel is prime for people who like to walk and explore the old town area.

The award-winning Signature Restaurant uses as much local produce as possible and is open 7 days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Food is also available in the Oak Bar & Coffee Lounge.

Carpets were stained and tired. The bathroom shower leaked uncontrollably. No air conditioning, only a radiator which was off or scalding. Breakfast was tepid.
Location to southampton city centre is excellent. Other than that, I wouldn't stay here again out of choice.

Bathroom smelt of smoke on first night, reception staff very helpful when I informed them.
The purpose of our stay was because my daughter was having a hospital procedure and we needed to be close by. The staff (on check in and restaurant manager) where very helpful with our requests of early breakfasts and eating dinner in our room.

Despite asking for a quiet room i was instead given a room which was poorly insulated. The person loudly snoring in the room above could be heard and it meant i could not get to sleep. I asked to be moved at 11.30pm only to be moved to room 14. The heat in the room could not be adjusted or turned off. The windows were open already when i entered. I closed the windows as they overlooked a noisy alley. I had to open them again as it was so hot in there. I didnt get much sleep. I was told in the morning that this room ' is always like that ' and is not considered to be a quiet room because of its proximity to the boiler / pump room ! A reduction in the room fee did not really make up for the lost nights sleep. It was supposed to be a relaxing break.
The staff were friendly but clearly need more training with regard to accomodating peoples needs.

The bath mixer tap wouldn’t run as cold only boiling hot. The room although as an upgrade was tired and a strange layout with a sofa bed in the corner, obviously doubles as a family room.
Just a nice feel to the place.
