Quirky but dissapointed
Pros:

Quirkiness, staff were nice and helpful. Location.

Cons:

The room was on the ground floor and very noisy, the floorboards creaked alot, and the bed creaked everytime we moved, it waa a very naaic room, full.of charcter but basic. And for a room that cost £225 there was no breakfast included, and £15 for a pastry and a cuppa tea is quite expensive. Also there was no mention of a £14 overnight carparking charge until checkout.

A lovely tranquil retreat near to the hustle and bustle
Pros:

Location, the deli/lounge area and interesting rooms

Cons:

I thought the pillows could be better (I found them too squidgy) and I didn’t make the most of the breakfast as I needed to be quick so £14 for a piece of toast and 2 cups of coffee was steep but necessary.

Cool city wall hotel in historic part of town!
Pros:

This is a snug hotel right down near the harbor and the location is unique. The bathroom was beautiful and the staff very friendly. Great for an urban (train only, no car) escape to try the legendary Pig hotel chain.

Cons:

Some of the chairs in the entry room/dining room look cute but are actually quite inconvenient for dining/sitting comfortably.

Excellent city break. If you are going to Southampton you must stay here.
Pros:

Very central. Lovely hotel, as are all the pig hotels.
Staff are excellent and I haven’t found a breakfast better than a pig one.

Cons:

Room could have done with an opening window to get some fresh air in.

The most comfortable home from home. A repeat visitor!
Pros:

Wonderful little boutique hotel, with the most comfortable beds, and lovely staff.

Cons:

Nothing I can think of, the only thing the rooms are missing which would be helpful is a luggage rack.
