Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was very pleasant for our needs, offering decent sleep and a full English breakfast buffet in the morning. The rooms had an adjoining door between the next room, allowing noise to penetrate at times but overall met our requirements. Service was helpful and courteous, although some staff seemed scared to interact with customers. The location, in the middle of student-land, was ideal for our specific purpose but may not suit everyone's needs. The dining experience was adequate for the price paid, with some room for improvement on certain items. Overall, a fair option with some positive aspects.
The hotel offers cozy and comfortable rooms, though a bit dusty, which suited my needs as a solo traveler. The staff was friendly and professional, providing a helpful and welcoming service. The location was convenient, with nearby dining options and free parking, perfect for my visit to Southampton University. The dining experience was good, offering a self-service breakfast with varied choices but a bit expensive. Overall, a clean and comfortable stay with excellent value for money.
The hotel is conveniently located near the University of Southampton with good transportation options, although parking can be challenging due to a busy bar nearby. The rooms could use some refurbishment and tend to get too warm at times. The service was excellent, with accommodating staff at the reception. The dining experience offered a good choice with some improvements desired. Overall, the hotel worked well for a stopover trip, particularly for those planning to shop in Southampton.
