Rooms were not standard, but adequate, some steps to get from one level to another after elevator. Bathrooms o.k. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Right in the heart of Southampton. Noisy with the buses turning in the street at the corner!!

The history and style of the building was a desired feature however a coat of paint may have been desirable around the doors to cover the black handprints. Overall great value,... More

I have stayed in a few Mercure hotels around the UK when away on business, but as I heard that this hotel had just had an upgrade, I decided to upgrade myself to a privilege room. It cost an extra £40 and it was well worth it! I stayed in the Azura room which I was told had just been... More
