    We arrived late evening about 9.30 and hadn't eaten as we were travelling and got caught up in the Southampton football fans celebrations. (the fans were excellent gave me a seat on the train and carried my suitcase). Staff could have directed us to Tesco or Asda for sandwiches as hotel wasn't serving any food. At the time we didn't realise how close the shops were to the hotel. The hotel is very busy and room could have benefitted from a freshen up

    Staff were helpful, location of hotel excellent- 10 min walk to cruise terminal, 5 min walk to rail station and 5 min walk to shopping centre Rooms and bed were comfortable. Slept really well.

    The fire alarm went off at 5 a.m. and it took around 20 minutes for it to be switched off, by which time most people had started to evacuate, therefore unable to get back to sleep afterwards.

    The hotel was very clean, and the staff very welcoming and helpful. Also perfect location for getting the Port next morning to begin our cruise.

    Comfortable, clean hotel in convenient location, but not all requirements met & a chaotic breakfast.

    We could not check into the room until after 3 p.m. (15:00 hours), which was rather inconvenient. Our luggage was stored for us, which was a help, but we had to wander around for several hours to use up the intervening time. We were tired after travelling, so this was not good. No lactose-free milk, despite mentioning this as a dietary requirement three months previously, when the reservation / booking was made. The situation was rectified by a member of staff quickly going to a sister hotel nearby and returning with what the chef there said was lactose-free milk. Not entirely true, since soya, coconut and almond substitutes all contain elements of lactose, but at least the effort was made. Breakfast was rather frenetic. Despite the period for breakfast being generous (7 to 11 a.m. at weekends, when we stayed), of course guests are not going to drift in and out at conveniently regular intervals. They always decide to arrive simultaneously, usually in the 30 minutes after 9 a.m. In this case, the sudden influx caused consternation for the staff, who were a little overwhelmed by everything disappearing at once and several guests all demanding different things at the same time. At one point, a member of staff was reduced to clearing plates from the tables while guests were still seated there (not a bad thing in itself, provided the guests have finished eating), simply to obtain more plates because the stack of fresh plates for the hot food (for example) was repeatedly being exhausted. Our room cards failed to call the elevator (a necessary dual function) on more than one occasion (and we were only staying one night in the hotel), so we had to get the cards re-checked or re-logged at reception. It is not a good idea to have the room cards activating other services or facilities as well. In my experience, the room cards are frequently barely able to cope with accessing one’s bedroom or opening the door, never mind anything else.

    Location very close to the cruise terminal from which we were departing. Room slightly larger than previous IBIS Hotels where we have stayed. Generally, rooms in IBIS hotels are quite small. Small bathroom, with half-bath and shower, but the shower was good, with plenty of hot water and powerful (most hotel showers are terribly weak and feeble). Breakfast was adequate, with a reasonable selection of hot and cold food. The organisation of it was somewhat chaotic, though (see below).

    Location was very good for the cruise terminals and the city centre.Train Station just a short walk away.
