This hotel is a little gem. All the staff were quite lovely and the room furnished to a high standard. Fantastic to have a coffee machine. Towels, pillows and bedding were of a high quality. The breakfast was up there with the best we have had. The only downside was the heavy bass music outside until the early hours, but this is not something the hotel can be at fault for.

This tavern/hotel is a great find for anyone looking to spend any time in Southampton. Less than a kilometre to the cruise ship terminal and is nestled in and amongst a lively neighbourhood of restaurants and bars. The rooms are well maintained and well appointed. The tavern has a great menu for all meals. The warm friendly staff were eager to assist with any inquiries.

I booked in on a last minute overnight stay and couldn’t fault a thing. A good sized clean and tidy room that was quiet throughout. The bar is great if you need it and the staff were great, particularly those at breakfast, serving up a fantastic end to my stay.

We stayed here for one night. The room was lovely and clean, food was great and the staff were friendly & helpful. Location wise it’s perfect for the cruise terminal. The only thing that lets this tavern down is the noise. We stayed on a Friday, we were kept awake with the beat of music late at night by a neighbouring pub. Overall a nice tavern that I wish we could stay at again, but the risk of noise and a busy outside party street would put us off staying again.

Excellent hotel and bar/restaurant. Friendly and service minded staff. The hotell is managed by the same staff as the pub/restaurant. Feels like home! Rooms are renovated and modern but with a lot of charm. Rooms are equipped with a/c. Excellent location close to the city and cruise terminals. A bit loud on Oxford street in the evenings but it did not bother us.

What a jewel on Oxford St. Wild about our room and the attention to detail used in the decor. Our welcome was personal and thorough. The location was ideal for the areas we wanted to see like the historic district.
