Some of the meals are available for takeaway, good idea. Partner thought the drinks were a bit on the expensive side, pint of foster & a half of coke just over £5.00. A excellent choice of wine & single malt whiskey. They hold themed lunches/nights - St George's Day, Mexician, Easter, etc. Will visit in future.

Since I was planning to go on a solo cruise out of Southampton, I needed to find the perfect and…read moremost affordable hotel for me to stay at the night before. After doing some research, I discovered this hotel. Selecting a room was easy and straightforward online. When I arrived on the day of check-in, I was two hours earlier than expected. I was still able to check in and get to my room and relax for the rest of the day. Later on that day, I went to their restaurant and ate some of the dinner. I dealt with two waiters while I waited for my food and both of them were very lovely. While I was in the restaurant I ate the chicken burger sandwich, which was very tasty. The gravy sauce on it gave it a nice flavor. For dessert, I decided to try the chocolate fondant which did not disappoint. As for my room, the bed was very comfortable. The room was very clean, but you do occasionally hear noises from either side of your room and in the hall. Another thing that was kind of annoying was the AC in the room. I am an American so I'm used to having AC at all times. The hotel here have AC, but they don't work that well in my opinion. Mine randomly decided to shut off in the middle of the night and I woke up kind of hot. I had to turn it back on and then it was fine, but that was one downside . Thankfully, that has not really bothered me and I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. If I ever take another cruise out of Southampton, I will more than likely book here again for convenience and familiarity.
