My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The room offered a perfect view of the cruise ship arriving, and it was impeccably clean with thoughtful amenities like shampoo, shower gel, and even a box of tissues. However, the service had its ups and downs with some staff not being friendly, but the mature lady was very welcoming. The location was great, right at the cruise terminal, but there was some discomfort due to noise from a broken manhole cover nearby. The dining experience was magical, especially the evening disco, but the breakfast could use improvement. Overall, my stay had its moments of delight and areas to work on.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms had everything I expected but were a bit small and smelled badly of damp, although they had a fantastic view of Southampton waterfront. The staff were really pleasant and helpful, but there were some limitations with the dinner menu due to the fryer not working. Overall, it was clean, reasonably comfortable, and had good facilities, making it a great location for the port where my cruise departed from.

The hotel was clean and tidy, located in a quiet area. However, the room I had could have been better for the price paid, almost like one for people in wheelchairs. The service was friendly and welcoming, though not very helpful with credit card issues. The location was good, bright, and close to the cruise terminal. The dining experience was slightly noisy, but the staff handled it well. Overall, it was a nice stay with some room for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was exactly like the one in the picture, offering great views from the 8th floor. It was a lovely room, very comfortable, and warm when we arrived. The restaurant was really nice, and all the staff were excellent, providing great customer service. A walk into the town is highly recommended, despite a long wait for the lifts and a room rate that felt overpriced for what was offered. The constant lift shaft noises were a bit bothersome.
