Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were great for two friends sharing a double room, but the limited volume on the TV was a bit inconvenient. Controlling the room temperature was a challenge, and I felt it wasn't entirely worth the £150 per night. The location was convenient for accessing the main shopping mall and the cruise terminal, but some improvements could be made in styling and speed of service. The service from some staff members was excellent, while others struggled with English and seemed a bit rude. The dining experience had its chaotic moments and lacked variety, but there was plenty for everyone when it came to cooked and continental options. Overall, it was a mixed bag of experiences.
The hotel has rooms that are not up to standard, but the small fridge was useful for keeping kids' snacks. Despite being chilly, the potential to combine sink/bathroom and toilet was noted. The service was mixed, with issues around partial refunds but exceptional staff attentiveness. The location is convenient for access to the main shopping mall and the cruise terminal. The dining experience had both positive and negative aspects, with cold orders but praise for specific dishes. The facilities offered were not extensively detailed.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were nice and already prepared for the four of us, but they felt a bit small for a supposed four-star hotel. Also, the view of a police station car park from a superior room was disappointing. On the bright side, the rooms were also very nice.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room had a few issues like a broken toilet door handle, unpleasant odors, and cleanliness concerns, yet the service exceeded my expectations. The location was convenient overall, but the dining experience left much to be desired.
The hotel seemed very old and tired, but surprisingly comfortable with a versatile table top and a cozy sofa. The service was a mix of unfriendly and helpful staff. The location was superb for pre-cruise stays, across from the station. The dining experience was a treat with nice choices. Facilities were okay considering the dated state of the hotel.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and the breakfast was excellent, with a comfortable Queen bed and a very comfortable double sofa bed. However, the rooms could use a little update. The service was exceptional, respectful of distancing and mask wearing, and the staff were amazing - extremely courteous and helpful, although a few seemed a bit clueless and blunt. The location was convenient for accessing local shops, restaurants, and the harbor, but it was a little small. The facilities were functional and reasonably comfortable, although some aspects were disappointing.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and organized, with nice complimentary amenities, but they were in need of some updates. The service was friendly but a bit slow at times. The location was excellent, with easy access to local shops and restaurants, but I was underwhelmed by the Southampton branch. The dining experience was chaotic, and the pricing didn't match the value provided.
