The room was huge with 2 double beds. Bathroom spacious and clean.
However, the people upstairs, really? All blooming night, up down up down and headboard banging type noise. In the end, I shouted up, "Will you just finish your shag so we can sleep"
Outstanding, gracious service.
Lovely vintage hotel.
Great bar onsite; great restaurant choices right out the door.
Such an enjoyable stay before leaving on our cruise!
Just the best location if you plan to have a Southampton visit. Rooms clean, service fine, just worth choosing if you need to be close to the high street or the ferry or indeed the cruise

Yes room were spotless and good friendly staff workers ,
We booked disabled room and wife use scooter, but couldn't get scooter into rooms got steps , had try keep it somewhere out of rain.
Bathroom were nice but thought were shower walk in type as bath no mat in bit slippery not safe couldn't take a shower in bath .
Akso told car park were £7 per night, i been charged £79 which is quite too expensive
Anyway it a nice hotel but quite old fashioned inside .
We did not have breakfast. The accommodation is old but it was comfortable. We just needed a place to stay to get on the Queen Mary II, so it was great for the one night.
We had a great stay and the receptionists Addie & co, even housekeeping staff were very helpful.

Hotel and room very clean, staff very helpful. Furniture in room a bit worn. I feel hotel needs some renovation, but generally happy with location and value for money.

The room was very tired furniture tatty, bathroom very dated but both clean. The general appearance of the hotel was run down.
The staff were pleasant and courteous and breakfast good value.
This is a great old hotel. We love older establishments for their richness in history. We don’t prefer cookie cutter hotels as much, at all. This is a charming place to stay. The staff was great but, Ceesay and Nwamme were especially kind and helpful. They’re both certainly an asset to the hotel. D
