I stayed 4 nights on business. The overall stay was what I would call Budget with a capital B, which wasn't that bad as I had a budget price.. I had a standard single without an en-suite (which was unintentional, but I believe a misunderstanding in the booking on my part). However I was faced with a very small room... More

We as the current management team only succeeded the previous management mid February 2012 and, therefore, feel it is inappropriate for us to comment on this review, other than this person stayed in January 2012 and it is only now, April 2012, that this person felt inclined to post this review, why?

I stayed at this B&B in mid March 2011. The staff are pleasant and helpful. However, the main problem with the hotel is the rooms are terribly small and it is hard to not to get the sense that it has been designed with the intention of creating as many rooms as possible without considering the comfort of its clients....

Just been taken over by new owners (managers?) Good - location, room - spotless (tho small). The lady who did the cleaning was lovely and very welcoming, chatty and perhaps should be running the place! Not so good - breakfast times during week 7-8 am - bit early if on hols, shower cubicle in the room, limited electric sockets. Owners/managers... More

We are very concerned to read this guest's comments! This guest arrived 24 hours after we commenced the role of resident managers and, therefore, we were still acclimatising ourselves to this new role and can only apologise for appearing understandably nervous. We have noted the comments regarding breakfast and will endeavour to ensure that this is not repeated in the... More

I booked some friends into this B&B last minute and I was very pleased with the service and the price. My friends said it was clean and well run and in a very convenient location. The manager was very helpful with some mistake over the dates I booked online and sorted it out very quickly. Definitely recommend. More

My stay at the hotel was not very pleasant to say the least. I stay in Southampton once a week and I have done for the last 2 years but unfortunately my normal B&B (The Mayfair, Landguard Road) was unavailable. I was on a course in Southampton and it was vital for me to have internet access. When I booked... More

If someone walked into your house through your front door, you would be entitled to call the police. This person ignored my privacy and walked straight into my lounge. Her review is not accurate as it is not possible to knock on the lounge door without entering the passage. I was shocked and annoyed about having my privacy violated. The... More

I booked two single rooms, one with a shower. The rooms were small but I wouldn’t have expected anything larger for the price I paid. They were however comfortable, very clean and in a good state of repair. The staff were excellent and the breakfast just right. I would definitely stay there again. More

I stay in around 2-3 hotels a week because of my job also travel abroad in hotels 3 or 4 times a year. We are a mature couple and therefore will write a true and honest review. Firstly I asked for a quiet room when booking and was given a room right above the front door. I booked a double... More

This hotel is amazing value for money. I needed to book at the last minute for one night and did this easily online. I was able to walk there from Southampton Central Station in 15 minutes. Very warm welcome, quiet area, rooms are spotless, with all the facilities I could possibly have expected (tv, tea/coffee in room, free wifi which... More

We stayed in a double bedroom with what they called an "en-suite bathroom", in April 2010. Other reviewers probably stayed in the same bedroom as we sympathise with many of their observations, especially the awkwardness in using the tiny little toilet at the end of the bed. You simply could not sit down and close the door unless you had... More
