Big room spotlessly clean with no frills
Big problem is that the shower was either scalding hot or cold -- no way to adjust it to a medium telperature. I stayed in Room 6 and mentioned it to Irene.

The host was very kind and understanding, makes you feel welcomed and safe. It was clean, has a perfect location when you go on a cruise, the rooms all have private toilets and the ones who don’t have a shower need to share, which was a relief. Towels are also provided 😊.

The staff is very kind and helpful. The place itself is super well located with shops and restaurants nearby. It is fairly close to the Port if you are having a Cruise. The room was spacious and the bed was super comfortable. We'll come back for sure.

Clean, good WiFi, walkable from train station. Tea and coffee, TV.
Some form of breakfast would be good, but I knew not available when booking.

I really loved this place, the host was amazing, she helped me with my luggage, and generally was friendly. The room was cozy, was white and had table and tea cattle. It really felt like at home.
I wanted to stay more, but unfortunately it was fully booked on the next day

The place is as very untidy and no one to assist with checkin. I decided to go stay at a hotel because the place was so dirty.
Place was dirty.

Nice space good en-suite and good location rooms were clean and free parking
Unfortunately only 3 vehicles can park at a time and the stay could have been better but you can hear absolutely everything in your rooms. Unfortunately I had some terrible people next to me on the bottom floor room 1 who were just awful to listen to shouting and screaming all night drinking heavy and I believe taking drugs but can’t be sure but from some of the words I had heard I believe it to be true banging on doors and threats towards people it wasn’t a nice environment at all was scared to leave the room at certain parts

perfect room for a short stay, and cheap price.
10.0 / 10.0
The room for the price is really good. Its central to Southampton main attractions and there is a bus stops within walking distance.
Although the room is on a main road the night time noise is minimal.
Bonus, free WiFi, lovely toiletries and bottled water in the room on arrival was a nice touch
We did book parking but it was full when we arrived but we managed to park a crossed the road.

Room was large, freshly decorated and very clean. Host was friendly but once we were shown to our room we were left alone which was nice. This was room only so but tea /coffee making was plentiful. There was limited parking so you had to book a space in advance.
The area itself is currently undergoing a regeneration by the look things. First impressions could mislead. Area became quiet late evening and even though this is a main road it didn't disturb our sleep.

The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive. Check-in was smooth, and I was surprised by how clean, spacious, and comfortable the room was. The location was also perfect, close to city center but quiet enough for a restful night’s sleep.

Location ok for hospital visit. Great Thai food at Mai Thai just a few minutes walk.
Bed quite hard. Toilet seat loose and kept slipping off.

Only the location. Good for pre-cruise if you have cruise in Southampton port the next day.
Didn't like the house itself. Waited for almost an hour to get into the house since there's no instruction how to get in when you booked. It only says enter with passcode but nothing was mentioned in the email from the owner what's the passcode, also hard to open the door the owner (maybe) has to come to open helself. You need to call first and took few dials to reach the owner (maybe) of the guest house. You need to carry all the way up the stairs your suitcase no lift! The house is not clean at all full of crap around the house opposite from the reviews you see online when you book.

Comfortable bed. Included a private bathroom (but very small). Included supplies (water, coffee, etc). Convenient walk to city center and some nearby restaurants. 20 minute walk to main bus station. Relatively close to cruise port. Owner let us store our bags prior to check in.
Small room. Very small bathroom (especially the sink). No 110 volt N American electrical plugs (our travel plug didn't work - bad fuse) so couldn't charge our phones.

Great price for the area, the services and facilities were appropriate for the price. You get what you pay for. Comfortable bed, bathroom amenities provided (soap, towels etc) which was great.
Not the easiest place to park, as it is on a busy road, but not the fault of the accommodation. It was abit hard to check-in, as instructions weren't clear and no obvious reception visible. Had to call the number provided to finalise check-in.
The bathroom was abit small even for average sized adults, but that's pretty much all I can complain about with regards to the room.

The price point was one of the best in Southampton for the two nights I was there. The services were appropriate for the price. They were better than Ibis Budget and on par with the Premier Inn. The bed was comfortable. The couple who run the place were in; arrival was easier than I imagined and they were friendly but business like. The room was an en-suite with a toilet and shower. Both were good. The room was quiet; I had a good night’s sleep.
Shirley Road comes across as rough, but I guess that is relative. I’ve since seen the crime rates, and it doesn’t surprise me that shoplifting is the highest frequency crime; I was followed around the Co-op by a security guard which was unfriendly. I wouldn’t bring my family here, but I would consider it again if Travelodge or Premier Inn were unavailable.

A very reasonable price for the size of room and facilities. Off road parking was very handy. I was delayed in my arrival and the host stayed up to ensure I could check in safely. This was really appreciated.
Nothing I didn’t like given the price, location and facilities

Clean bedroom and bathroom
There was no tv in room we wanted to relax before our cruise and watch the olympics we asked is there a lounge answer no we were taken to a small room outside the kitchen very messy with a broken small tv in the corner the owner just said sorry its broken. So we were hardly in the room. When we came to leave for our cruise we were blocked in with no one at home we knocked twice and used the car horn so stressful its ruined the start of our cruise.
