This is a pub with accommodation rather than a hotel. It is easy to find from the motorway and in a quiet area. It is an easy area to walk around and I felt happy walking back here at night. The room was light and airy and the heating and heated towel rail were good. The bed was comfortable with... More

I had meetings at the University of Southampton, Avenue Campus and had stayed at other hotels closer to campus but wasn't impressed. I am happy to say that when I visit Southampton again, I will be staying here. The walk to the campus was fairly direct, only 20 mts to the Avenue campus. Even though the room was a single,... More

Stayed for one night and had a lovely time. The young guy that showed us to our room was friendly and welcoming and couldn't do enough to help us. The room was big, the bathroom was light and clean and the bed was sooooo comfortable. Southampton town was a nice short stroll away. Overall next time I'm in Southampton I... More

My second visit, surely that's testament enough. Had a better room this time, on lower floor with large shower cubicle. Good food, breakfast & dinner. Now with free Wifi. Live music in lounge many nights is good but you will hear it in many of the rooms, we didn't mind. Friendly helpful staff and convenient to town, common & transport... More

I stayed here for one night as I was in the city for business. Upon pulling up outside I was concerned that there was live music in the pub which is part of the hotel....it was 9:30pm and I had driven several hours with an early meeting the following morning. However I need not have worried at all. From my... More

One young man was managing the bar, reception and restaurant when we arrived at 8.30pm but he was friendly if harassed, The room was clean however only one bedside light worked and he was unable to find another. It was chilly and neither he nor we could persuade the heating to work - we took an extra duvet from the... More

I stayed at the Blue Keys Hotel during my trip across Southern England and I recommend it! The staff is great (Malcolm is a great host!), the rooms are nice, free parking and wi-fi and a nice pub at the ground floor, where you can have a beer and listen to live music after visiting the city or after a...
