The hygiene of the breakfast restaurant is a problem. There were several ants crawling on the food display table, and it was very unpleasant that the staff didn't even try to catch them after I informed them. During my two-day stay, I was supposed to receive two bottles of water per day, but instead, I was only given two bottles at once. When I asked for a refill of the water the next day, they refused. Additionally, the facilities seemed outdated, and I felt that it did not meet the standards of a four-star hotel, but rather fell short of even a two-star rating. - [ ]

Best Breakfast Layout in England

Better than any other mainstream hotel I have been at in america or the EU. The rooms are clean and look to be recently refreshed. A few quirks to the design of the hotel bathrooms, but par for the course in europe. One odd thing is my room had a queen and a sofa with a built in bed.. Which had been pulled out and made up. Not a big deal but not neccessary. Staff were amazing and easy going. Bar staff was also very attentive. My go to if I am in Southampton for sure
