They say you get what you pay for, so I was not expecting much, and I am glad I was not. I paid £48 for a triple room (Room 22), and while the room itself had good ventilation thanks to the window, there were several issues. The toilet was dirty, with hair and dust everywhere. It clearly had not been cleaned properly in a while. The TV did not work, and neither did the WiFi, which was one of the main reasons I booked this place. Maybe it was because we were on the top floor, but there was no one available to help. Also, the check-out time on Hotels dot com said 11, but the sign at the entrance of the property said 10. Someone knocked on my door at exactly 10, which was very disruptive and confusing. Overall, the quality was quite poor, but for a very short and very cheap stay, it served its purpose.

No one at reception to greet, nor email to tell us what room we were staying in. Unusable rickety furniture, no TV, lumpy bed. 2 person stay-only one mug in the room for coffees and only 2 tiny miniature bottles of shower gel which doesn't go far enough. Nice quiet location though.

Bed could really do with a new mattress or at least a topper, as there are springs that can be felt. Other residents need to be reminded to not let the doors slam or they should be fitted with closers. Was woken at least 3 times late in the night and then abruptly at 7.30am by the room next to us.

I had been slightly apprehensive after reading some poor reviews, but it was fine. Definitely more "student house" than "hotel" but perfectly adequate for a night. I was aware of other people in the house, but not disturbed by voices or traffic noise, and the door code system felt safe and secure. My only complaint is the lack of human contact in the checking in process. A phone number is given with advice to ring at least 24 hours before arrival, but it seems not to be manned. After a bit of detective work I made contact by email, then I received a reply that I would be given check in details at noon on my arrival day. This did happen, but I wasn't able to ask a human being if there was a kettle in the room (there was), a TV (there wasn't) or parking space (there was, but more by luck than design).

I was surprised The room had no bathroom, heating was not working all night. Don't make the mistake of booking here. I complain to the stuff 3 times and called them at least 10 time just to get someone on call and no help from them. Still haven't got the refund. Worst accommodation of all..

We arrived at 3:30. Took 10 times to use a code & get in the front door which they handle felt like it was falling off. Went up a flight of 15 stairs which isn't mentioned in the description to room 5 with another coded door. Took 10 tries to get in there. Only to find clothes & garbage in the room. A young girl came up to clean the room as I sat on stairs waiting. This took about an hour & she wasn't going to vacuum until my husband requested it. The bed is hard as a rock with springs poking you & gross looking bedding. The sink is in the bedroom. We weren't given hand towels or soap. No TV. The window was open for air but people smoke out the back door & the smoke & noise from talking comes right in the room. There's 1 outlet on the floor on the far side of the bed for you to plug a kettle in & have instant coffee. There's seriously nothing good about this place except the price. Anyone that's stayed here before could use the code to get in & whatever room they were in so that's not good. I chose a room with a bathroom those that shared went up & down the stairs & past our room & you can hear every step. Another guest knocked on our door cause they couldn't get in their room either. I slept in my clothes cause I felt the bed was too grungy. I've slept in a lot of ceap decent places but this was the 2nd worst I was ever in.

Dirty outside the property, entry coded doors would have helped if I was given the codes. It took a while to contact the landlord to require the codes. My booking was for room 6, but after many attempts to get in the room I found someone to help. Only to find someone else’s property was in the room. Contacted landlord again, luckily he found another room. Room 2 was basic, fresh bedding, clean towels. Overall quality 3/10.

A one night stay before a cruise. Property clean, bed comfy, but very basic as was the cost. As Southampton was very busy that weekend all hotels fully booked and at double the normal cost the guest house was a last resort. Should this happen again i would stay there again. No food fatalities on site but had good meal 15 mins walk away.
