My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was perfectly cleaned and well-equipped with all the essentials, but the lack of soundproofing made it difficult to ignore noisy neighbors. The location was convenient for walks in the nearby park but lacked immediate dining options. The service was mostly excellent, with some minor issues. The dining experience was average, and the facilities met expectations.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were incredibly spacious and comfortable, with a huge double and single bed, and the ensuite was just wonderful. The service was top-notch; everyone was so helpful and friendly. The location was perfect for me, with great access to the City Centre and nice off-street parking available. The dining experience was a hit, especially the delicious full English breakfast. The facilities were fantastic, making my stay even more enjoyable.

My stay was a bit of a mixed bag. The room had a slight smell, but it was my first time in a dog-friendly room, and the noise level was a bit high due to nearby slamming doors and foot traffic. Overall, the room was well-maintained, very clean, comfortable, with a lovely bathroom, and a great breakfast.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and the food was great. Thank you for making us feel welcome during our visit. The room was a decent enough size for myself and my 1.5-year-old, clean, spacious, and comfortable with good amenities, although the bed was uncomfortable and there were sharp lumps under the carpet.

The hotel's rooms were comfortable, clean, and brilliantly located, though they felt dated and sparse, needing updating. However, the cleanliness was exceptional, and the bed provided an extremely comfortable stay. The service was nice and accommodating, notably friendly and flexible to ensure guest comfort, even helping with additional bedding. The location was great for exploring Southampton and enjoying the area, though directions might be confusing. The dining experience offered freshly cooked and tasty dishes but lacked efficiency during peak times. Overall, the hotel provided good value for money with some areas needing improvement.
