Clean and friendly hotel in good location to Southampton hospital

As this is. Dog friendly hotel I hoped there would be a separate area in restaurant to bring dog for evening meal instead we decided to eat at another pub that accommodated dogs

Great little hotel for a pre-cruise stay.
Pros:

Friendly staff, clean & comfy room, great food in restaurant for dinner & breakfast also really good

Cons:

Garden area could be much improved. Walkway down side was messy with dumped plant pots. Didn’t make it appealing to sit in outside area. Parking area at rear could also do with a tidy up. Shower head in room 53 needs to be descaled & spurts everywhere. There’s something wrong with the shower gel in that room. Smelt of sewage. Told Reception so hopefully both resolved.

Fijn hotel, maar geen airco
Pros:

Het personeel is heel vriendelijk, het hotel en de kamers zijn mooi ingericht. Nette kamers, een fijne douche en een prima locatie.

Cons:

Het enige minpunt wat mij betreft is dat het op warme dagen heel benauwd is in de kamer. Daardoor heb ik heel slecht geslapen en werd ik meerdere keren erg bezweet wakker. Er stond wel een ventilator, maar dat deed niet zo veel. Een airco zou het verblijf veel prettiger maken.

Pros:

The room is very comfortable and clean

Cons:

I think there should be a door hook in the bathroom, So you can hang towel after shower and there was no soap in the bathtub area. Only the shower area.
