When you consider that the hotel started its life as a coaching house in the 1840s it is nigh on 200 years old! It is quirky and still has the feel of buildings that were designed at the time - it has great character, is very comfortable and ideally situated in the city centre. The management clearly take a lot of pride in the hotel. Great place.

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.
