Good but should have been better
It was OK just didn't not like other guest smoking marijuana outside my window if they go to smoke they should have put smoking around the back also didn't like the fact that room was painted while I was there surely this should have been done after I've gone

The room itself was good. Although it was clean, the bedsheets were very dirty but this was replaced quickly after a complaint, although its hardly acceptable during covid. The location was good also as are the tea /coffee. Shower was small but does a good job. My biggest complaint is the noise, doors slamming, people talking loudly, laughing into the early hours of the morning. It has to be the loudest hotel I've ever stayed in, or even hostel for that matter. There's no soundproofing and a huge gap under the door didn't help. You can also hear people above walking, toilets flushing the works! I got an email the day before our stay saying the breakfast was cancelled due to covid (although restaurants have reopened and no alternative such as take away or outdoor seating offered). Overall very disappointing experience.

Being half-Thai I was given excellent service by the Thai manager! No half-measures! John Inga (Thai) Niwasnanda (Thai) Davies. It probably helped having a hyphenated name,too!

A very straightforward place to stay! My room was an adorable tiny closet of a space but suited my needs perfectly for one night stay. Loved the window, made all the difference. Bed was comfy enough. Tiny bathroom but again perfectly suited. Wouldn’t recommend if you are claustrophobic or on the larger size. Thank you for a comfortable night!

Great value for money, good breakfast and good location. Marked down for: traffic noise at the back, no air con + bedroom window either closed or fully open, lumpy pillow (but plenty of choice), poor water pressure, hairdryer requested but not received.

Basic room with a capital ‘B’. Lovely Reception Staff - very efficient & well organised. Decor is ‘tired’ and could do with a lick of paint. Room wash hand basin & top floor shower drains need unblocking. Otherwise, less than 10 minute walk to Southampton Central train station.

Very good value for money
Stayed here one night with my 5 year old son as he had a 24-hour hospital appointment and was easier to stay in Southampton was greeted by a lovely lady who gave me the key told me the what time breakfast was and showed us to our room. Room was very clean small but everything he needed shower toilet, only downfall was the big gap around the door and the bottom of the door let in lots of light in at night. I'm a very squeaky bed every time I turn over. Breakfast was lovely I had full English no faults was great very tasty and could have continental as well which my son did have definitely worth the money and will be staying there again next time we need to

Don’t take kids
Didn’t even stay due to no parking. Or the option of parking behind a dodgy looking “pub” for extra money. All kinds of unsavoury people hanging outside on the street.

Nice room but no bathroom/toilet
I really thought these days a room comes with a shower and toilet and this morning me took me by surprise. I booked online so maybe didn’t see the small print and found out the hard way as I get up through the night to use the toilet usually and walking down a corridor and down steps while I’m half asleep isn’t ideal! I had a couple in the room next to me talking really loudly all night even at 4am when I got up to go to the toilet. Also the music from the live ‘big band’ jazz bar a few doors down the street kept me awake so had to take a sleeping tablet which I luckily had to hand as I had work the next morning. The staff were lovely though so kind of made up for the downfalls. Especially the last that did breakfast the next morning which was spot on-thanks!
