"I travel and stay in various hotels in the area for work. Mainly Travelodge or premier inn to keep the costs down. For the rate they charged me, (which at booking was considered a lower price), I do not recommend this hotel based on my experience. There was no WiFi for the first two days of my stay. Given the hotel was in a dead zone for signal it left me unable to do any work, or keep in contact with the wider world for that matter, while at the hotel. Reading other reviews this seems to be common. Overall the hotel was of an ok standard. However the beds are the most unbelievably uncomfortable things I have ever laid on. A bed of nails would have been nicer. I might as well of used a concrete block for pillows. Since this is described as a spa hotel it seems bizarre that the bed was this bad. Though I was working slightly unsociable hours while I stayed the house keeping staff have to be the loudest I have ever experienced. Would have been quieter on a building site. My room also seemed to be very close to the pool pumps. There was low drone constantly 24hours a day in my room. As the gym and pool facilities. I don’t think they have been deep cleaned ever. Though well equip the gym really needed a good scrub. The shower changing rooms were diabolical. Discarded shampoo bottles, towels etc everywhere. Very frustrating stay. Would not recommend since there are plenty other hotels in the area. Avoid "

"Hotel is a bit tired. One lift out of order made the other two very busy at times. In our room, the light when you entered the room wasn't working and no matter what we did with the heating controls the room never seemed to warm up. The shower control was very stiff to turn off. Lots of mould around the window reveals. In the glazed area where the bar was, you can see where some panes have leaked and there is corrosion and paint peeling. Staff were friendly."

"Nice spa, nice renovations, shame the steam room wasn't working. The mens showers were cold. But other than that this was a nice hotel experience. The bedroom was a little small but well kept. The bar area and restaurant was well appointed and you can see nice refurbishment work had happened. The breakfast was excellent and worth the money. The location was quite good to access town with a short walk."

"Yes "

"The hotel is old (but interesting) and needs a lick of paint here and there but the room was very clean. Bathroom with shower very good. Very nice double bed too. Breakfast was buffet style, was good though no fruit. No problem with Wi-Fi. Staff were friendly, polite and helpful. Excellent location for eateries and seeing old Southampton. Good value and would stay there again. "

"Fabulous stay and food "
