Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This boutique hotel is an absolute gem! With only 9 rooms, it offers an intimate and personalized experience. Housed in a beautifully restored historic building, the design is simply stunning — a perfect blend of classic charm and modern comfort. The rooms are quite spacious, featuring elegant décor, large bathrooms, and very comfortable beds. Although there is no elevator (due to the age and preservation of the building), the narrow, spiral staircase is a charming architectural detail. The hotel staff are wonderfully friendly and more than happy to assist with luggage if needed. A lovely bonus: breakfast is included and adds to the overall value. Located in a quiet area of Southampton, this hotel offers a peaceful retreat while still being close to everything. Highly recommended for a stylish and memorable stay!

This property is in the historic area of Southampton. So it has aesthetic qualities that are unique and charming! We would recommend this property to everyone but especially those folks coming from a cruise ship at Southampton, then flying out of Southampton airport. Amazing stay, thank you!!

Brilliant Boutique Hotel

A fantastic small hotel. Made very welcome on arrival and stored suitcases as we were early. When we returned, the suitcases had been put in our room. The room was lovely and of a very high standard. There was complimentary drinks and snacks and breakfast served in the room in the morning. Would definitely be our number one choice in Southampton.

One of the most wonderful hospitality experiences I have ever had. Good hotels make you feel welcome and appreciated, this hotel goes so much further and made made me feel cared for. Truly exceptional in every sense of the word. Every single member of the staff was delightful, warm, helpful and kind. A truly delightful stay in every sense. From being greeted at the door, easy and relaxing reception, to the beautiful rooms with every amenity thought out to perfection, and the most delicious, warm breakfast delivered to your door, the comforts felt here will warm your heart. No matter how far away you live, this place will feel like home.

Won’t be booking again

First time I have to do the check in on a phone that was handed by a lovely receptionist. Fill out a form and upload passports. Beautiful building, however there is no elevator and our room was in the third floor. Decor in room and hotel is impeccable, however there was lots of light in the room. And somebody got confused and opened our door at 3:20 am Like a lively B&B only with no breakfast, however it’s the first time we get an aeroccino for a fantastic in room Nespresso Check out is at 11, if you go an hour past that, you will get a 25£ charge
