Leave your big bags at the lobby as the steps are narrow and steep.
The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. They worked with other businesses in the vicinity to provide food delivered to the bar. We did not expect the stairs.
This is a quaint and charming set of rooms about the Grapes pub. It is not for the faint of heart or the weak of knees. One must climb two steep sets of stairs so make sure your luggage is is light. The check in is at the bar by the owner who is a really nice guy. He gives instruction on how to enter and return with the key and his assistant showed us the room. He did offer to help carry our luggage up the stairs.
The shower was a bit iffy. There is a red switch on the wall to turn it on but I was hesitant to do so for fear of setting off a fire alarm. I would recommend putting a note about it for explanation. The bed is very comfy and there are a few eateries and other pubs on the block. Drop the key in the box on the way out and off you go!
Great place. I'd go back again without a doubt.
The rooms are directly above a busy bar and party area (with several other bara and restaurants in the same area. No double glazed windows. You cannot sleep until 2am. The room itself is however good and it is only a few minutes’ walk to the port for a cruise.
The Grapes Hotel is a piece from history, and historic hotel connected with historic events that hasn´t had the old doors and woodwork replaced with modern veneer. This is absolutely the real deal. This is the place where at least some of the Titanic crew partied the night away the night of April 9-10, 1912, just before they went on their voyage. And the pub looks like it did. You lay in your room at night listening to the sounds below, and you can almost hear that fateful night, just before life for Southampton was forever changed. Sitting in the pub you can see in your minds eye stokers and firemen, a little drunk, rushing out the door in the morning to get to work. The Grapes is where any serious maritime historian ought to stay at least one night in Southampton.
I would definitely stay here again . My room was at the top of the building so would not suit people with mobility issues . There’s no parking so that’s also an issue if you had a lot of luggage . The area is fairly trendy with dining places and bars nearby so a little bit noisy but it’s a city centre pub so what did you expect ? Rooms are clean a comfortable but what stood out was the friendliness and professionalism of the staff . I met 4-5 of them during my stay and they were all people I would be delighted to employ in any customer facing role because they had the right attitude and approach . 10/10
Good: I picked this hotel because of proximity to the cruise ship port. It is just a 1 min walk to the entry of the port. Eating/drinking - there is a bar at the bottom of the hotel, and many right around the area just feet away.
Bad: Small stairs to go up to room difficult to carry luggage. Rm is tiny, but doable. The small twin? bed had a head board and foot board which forced me to cruch into a ball to fit on the bed. Im 6'2". If it didnt have a foot board would have been able to just hang my feet off and would have been ok. The shower was also small (more usual in europe) and the shower head holder actually broke while i was showering.

This property is on a street that is closed off to traffic. It is not listed clearly in the listing. It was difficult to get to via the transportation we had from Heathrow and we had to drag our bags from the street to the hotel. This is was for both the check in and check out. We were in town to catch a cruise.
