“In my opinion, this hotel, with its two AA Rosettes, distinguishes itself with high-quality food sourced from local producers. The nautical-themed decor adds character, while practical touches like blackout curtains and quality toiletries enhance the rooms. Its location on Oxford Street places it near Southampton's attractions, and the friendly staff complete the experience.”
