We stayed here for two nights before our cruise. Based on the photos on their website, it creates a cozy but somewhat spacious room. Unfortunately for us, our experience was not in line with the photos provided. The room was extremely small and dated. For the price paid per night £106 we felt this was very overpriced. The bed was fine for sleeping, but again, for the price I expected better. The bathroom looked renovated but was very small and closet like. The shower pressure was decent, but there was no light above the shower, which created a dark area. The window in our room was broken, and I'm not saying it wouldn't open. It was literally smashed. It's not very appealing to look at. The front hallway/stair area had a smell of urine (stale cat pee) again, not appealing. Finally, the worst thing we experienced was the ridiculous noise coming from the lower street bars and clubs. They messaged us prior and said there was "possible nightlife noise." This was an understatement. We could hear the music loud and clear even with the windows closed. This went on until at least midnight. As the night went on, the vibration from the bass was so intense that it shook the room. The entry instructions for the room were detailed on WhatsApp. The owners advise on the message to not hesitate to call or message if there are any issues. We messaged 4 times (10 pm last night) with video evidence of the noise, but we still have not received a response (nor have they read these messages). The only positive thing we will say is that the location to the city is great. It is within 5-10 minute walk to the town center and cruise ports. Which is what we wanted. The issues above, though, trump the location. In conclusion, we will never return to this location, nor would we recommend staying here. Find anything else in Southampton.
