Great location.
Great/helpful staff.
Hotel is "tired"!
This hotel is located at an excellent location. Lots of restaurants, cafes and pubs nearby.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. We plan on staying there again next time we’re in Southampton.
Not many properties have such history and such a friendly staff! It is, being so old, without a/c, and it was hard to sleep with temps above 30.
The location is awesome.

All staff at the hotel were very very helpful however the hotel itself does need some renovation and .
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

Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel is located near to shops and restaurants. On arrival we were given a double bedded room instead of the twin we originally booked. Another room was arranged which was clean but very basic. A good breakfast was provided.
Good overnight hotel in great central location just south of Bargate. Quiet and sizeable room.Very good value and chargeable breakfast was excellent at £9. Would definitely return
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.
