Good

Very helpful and pleasant staff, the room had two double beds and a walk in shower. The breakfast was basic but served well. All in all, a very good stay and I would be definitely going to return.
I liked that it was close to shopping and restaurants. Reasonably priced, roo
Was a little hot but not too uncomfortable. I'd stay there again when in Southampton
Ideal hotel for a pre-cruise stay. A very old hotel with lots of little stairways, could do with a little bit of tlc but good location, clean, staff are lovely and breakfast was really good
Awesome historical property with an awesome location.
Everything you want or need is very closeby.
Best possible rating considering the age of the building.
This is an older property with lots of character. Located near the downtown area, there are lots of dining choices within walking distance. There could be some work done in the interior to make it more appealing but the room was clean, comfortable and, even though we faced the main street, quiet. Breakfast was quite nice with a very good selection. Staff was very friendly.
Great location for Guild Hall. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. It was a Friday and very noisy at night, probably ask for a room at rear next time.
Hotel is in great location for cruise terminals but some are the rooms are quite a treck with heavy suitcases so not easy access may be ok for youngsters

Staff was excellent. Eager to assist and cheerful to boot!
Central location, many dining and shopping options within walking distance. Some steps are unavoidable. Low water pressure on upper floors. Large room with comfortable beds.
All of the staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was clean and a good size. The breakfast was tasty and had a good variety of items in their buffet. The location of the hotel is perfect, being only a block away from Barsgate and central to everything in Southampton. We would definitely stay here agsin!
Missed the ice bucket, Kleenex and mini fridge in room.
Loved the decor
And character of the hotel. Great location although I don’t think I would be comfortable going out at night alone.
Wonderful friendly staff.
Hotel was small but our room was great. No AC but not unexpected. Was there on supposedly record setting heat day but there was a fan in the room so wasn't unbearable. In downtown old town so a lot within walking distance. Was there for a cruise and it was walkable to the cruise port (about 1 mile).
Older hotel, noisy floors, one of the beds was too noisy to sleep in. No AC pretty warm during the night. Front desk was great and the adjacent bar great bar staff very friendly.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Although we were shocked by the poor physical condition of our room (windows that were painted shut, yucky feeling carpet, and extremely low water pressure), the staff did comply with our request for a room on the top floor, which was large, private, and very quiet. Breakfast was excellent.

Overall it was good value, thanks
I stayed in a tiny room for one night. The hotel is good, actually the breakfast and staff are very good. Well located, with a parking lot in the back. Lots of restaurants and bars around.
