3-star AA-accredited hotel with art deco design and private walled garden in Southampton

Dining

The art deco-inspired restaurant and bar opens onto a private walled garden, providing an outdoor seating area during warmer months. Skilled chefs craft seasonal dishes for the menu, and the same kitchen produces tailored menus for events and celebrations. The bar serves wine and champagne, with kids' meals also available on request.

Rooms

Room choices include fully accessible options with wheelchair access, grab rails, and raised toilets, as well as dog-friendly rooms for guests traveling with pets. All rooms come with 26-inch flat-screen TVs with Freeview and en-suite bathrooms. The hotel provides a range of family rooms and non-smoking accommodations across the property.

Parking & Cruise

On-site secure parking for cruise travelers starts at £4.75 per day, with access to taxi transfer to the cruise terminals. The hotel is a short taxi ride from Southampton Docks and offers long-term parking that must be pre-booked. Parking is free for overnight guests, with an additional £5 charge for day parking after checkout.

Pet-Friendly

Dog-friendly rooms are available, allowing guests to bring their pets along for the stay. The private walled garden provides an outdoor space for walking dogs on the property. Guests must check directly with the hotel for any pet-related policies or restrictions.

Location

The hotel sits a short walk from Southampton University and the city centre, with West Quay Shopping Mall and SeaCity Museum nearby. Southampton Central Station is within walking distance, offering rail links to London and other destinations. The cruise terminals are a short taxi ride away, making the hotel a practical base for cruise passengers.

Highlights

Awards: 3 Star Hotel accolade by the AA

Parking: On-site secure cruise parking from £4.75/day

Dining: Art deco restaurant with seasonal menus & private garden

Accessibility: Fully accessible rooms with grab rails & wheelchair access

Pets: Dog-friendly rooms with garden access

“The art deco design certainly caught my eye, and I appreciate the secure cruise parking, starting at a reasonable price; that's a practical perk for Southampton. I think the real draw here is the proximity to the docks, along with the dog-friendly room options, so it makes a solid base.”

Acceptable but Far From Perfect

old furniture slow breakfast service
The free parking on the premises was convenient.
My room was quite hot, and the provided fan barely moved the air. The furniture looked like it had been rescued from a skip. It was quite dated. The breakfast service was also very slow. I waited almost thirty minutes for my meal. The car park was tiny, and I found the system they used to squeeze cars in somewhat stressful.

electrical hazard running water
I found a metal pin sticking out of one of the plug sockets. I told reception, but they said they couldn't do anything. it was like a real electrical hazard, especially since i was traveling with my toddler. the socket was at his height, and that added to my worries. also, the toilet flushed nonstop in the middle of the night. It was very loud. i had to take the lid off the cistern and manually stop the running water.

warm welcome tasty selection lovely view
i liked the warm welcome upon arrival. staff helped me with my luggage, that was really helpful. breakfast had a tasty selection and the room had a lovely view. well kept, I really liked that.
the sink in the bathroom had separate taps for hot and cold water, mixing the water temperature was not easy. that was very inconvenient.
