    The bed was small (which was OK as a solo traveller) and rock hard! The breakfast was lovely but seemed v expensive. I’ve stayed in central Southampton at the grand harbour where it was £15 per head…and Bills comes in about the same price…£15.

    Great location and view. Parking was particularly useful. The decor was stunning…loved the carpeted staircase. Staff were are very friendly and helpful.

    The restaurant is overpriced, and the food is not good enough to justify the cost. I highly recommend the hotel, but eat out!

    The room was great, the bed was comfy and, importantly, strong WiFi in the room. A great place, I will be back.

    Single room was very small and in need of a little tlc. Not very good value in comparison with other hotels in the area.

    Room was adequate for my needs and was warm and comfortable. Plenty of on-site parking.

    Breakfast was nice, but just nice. Sadly, set menu with no option of how you'd like your eggs on the cooked breakfast. Fried only, which were hard both days. Cooked breakfast the first day was a bit dried up. Muffin on the eggs benedict toasted on the top only, leaving the bottom soggy on the plate, again both days. Presented lovely though, and quality ingredients. Cold coffee served in a coffee pot, but one pot piping hot! Few tables with dirty crockery left, with waitress just walking past, dragging her feet. Looked untidy, no excuse as only 6 people eating breakfast at the time. Just needs a little attention to detail and it would be perfect! Would definitely stay again.

    Beautiful Hotel steeped in history. Beautifull lobby, restaurant and stair case!Excellent location with a very short walk to many restaurants and the promenade. Lots of parking within the hotel grounds. Room with a view was fantastic, worth the extra. Very clean, comfortable and very spacious. Huge bed, lovely linen and towels. Nice choice of pastries and jams for breakfast, and choice of cooked. Staff friendly.

    Breakfast was pricy (£18 if not pre booked), I didn't partake, but have no doubt that it would have been good.

    Beautiful hotel, traditional yet modern in the sense that everything looked newly decorated, excellent shower, comfortable bed, well built furniture etc Great location, views of the sea. Friendly, helpful staff

    Very poor service in the bar and restaurant. It has a very small bar for the size of the hotel which was very under staffed for a Saturday afternoon/ evening. In the morning the breakfast was again very poorly staffed

    A very nice location and a lovely building

    Staff could have been trained to be more welcoming on arrival and departure. For instance a ‘Welcome to the Queens Hotel’ should be standard shouldn’t it? We didn’t get this or a ‘Thank You for staying’ when we left. Notice that an Asian couple with large suitcases who could have travelled a long way were not welcomed either or asked about their journey. Seems like common decency to me? Staff we young and not unpleasant but felt like they were inexperienced. They also missed a trick not asking us if we wanted breakfast as we cd have been persuaded. But do love the hotel and location so this would not stop me returning.

    Such a lovely building. Love the style and decor. Room was spacious, comfortable and clean.
