Not so budget
Pros:

Window could be opened & a fan was available in the room. Tea/coffee/milk sachets & kettle provided on request as was a hair dryer. Staff helpful & friendly. Continental breakfast was ok.

Cons:

McDonald's next to the hotel is being refurbished; I was woken up before 0700 hrs by grinding machinery. 2 police officers were on the premises when I checked in. At just over £100 for the night, I do feel slightly ripped off. No hand towels in the room & having to ask for tea/coffee etc.

OK and well-positioned hotel for a short stay in Southampton
Pros:

The position of the hotel is excellent- within walking distance of whatever part of Southampton you want to go (walk) to. It was important to us to be able to walk around, especially because we went to a concert at Guildhall Square and took a ferry to the Isle of Wight (it took us approx. 10-15 minutes to walk there). It is also next to McDonald's, which is practical for a morning/evening snack. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Everything was as expected / stated on booking.com. The hotel is good if you just need a clean room to sleep in and no need for extra amenities. A hairdryer would be appreciated.

Pros:

It did what it said it would do. A budget hotel that we needed after coming off of a cruise as we weren’t flying home till the next day. And you could walk to the old town and the port

Cons:

The staff were under pressure BUT, handled it with humour and couldn’t do enough to help us. Particularly taking our suitcases off of us
