Stayed overnight ready to join cruise ship the following day. Very convenient for the cruise terminal. Plenty of parking, quick check in. Room was a good size with fridge, complete with iron and safe. Everything you need for your stay. The toilet is separate from the bathroom which is ok but not much room. Wasn’t a huge variety on the menu for room service however I did have the soup of the day which was tomato. Homemade, piping hot when it arrived and was delicious. It was quick service with payment there and then so no waiting around to check out in the morning. Just drop your key in the drop off box and off you go. Very efficient! I would definitely stay here again.

Hotel.com did not update the information of the amenities, the swimming pool of this hotel has been closed since the beginning of 2025. Many families with children are so disappointed for this. We booked this hotel based on the information on Hotel.com website

The room was a good size and clean if a bit dated; the beds were very comfy, and we certainly appreciated the fan overnight. The bar and restaurant staff were particularly friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast had a great selection of food, but the absolute winner for my 9-year-old was the automatic pancake maker and giant Nutella Dispenser. We would definitely stay here again.

Would def stay again. Note that there is no AC in this hotel. They do provide a fan but it was quite warm even with. Kudos for doing their best given the heat. Stayed here for one night prior to cruising — can walk to cruise ship from hotel no problem. Lots of things to in the area. Very close to Southampton central station as well.

Easy walkable location from Southampton Central (5min). There’s a McDonalds across the parking lot that we had dinner and breakfast at. It was easy to book a cab for the cruise ship terminal on the self-service tablet in the lobby and the cab arrived within a few minutes. The location is outside the old part of the town so it’s not very scenic but was good for what we needed. There were three of us in the room and the pull out bed was bit squeaky with some springs sticking out. There is no AC and just a table fan so it was quite warm at night. Overall we would stay here again. The room isn’t fancy but serviceable and clean and we had no serious issues beyond being a bit warm at night.

Stayed here for one night before embarking on a cruise ship. Cathy the receptionist was extremely helpful when my husband discovered he had forgotten to print some documents he needed for parking at cruise terminal. We were upgraded as it was our Ruby Wedding Anniversary and as a real treat was greeted with a lovely dessert treat saying Happy Anniversary and drinks voucher. Whole experience was 10/10 and a big thank you to Cathy and staff again. You made us a very happy couple .
