ibis budget Southampton Centre

You get what you pay for... or so I thought, until I was talking to fellow travellers. They were raging about the cost of this budget hotel. I thought it was reasonably priced. It is basic, no frills, no vending machine, nowhere to put your clothes except a peg on the wall or a bench. That said, the bed was comfortable and there was a fan in the room. This was really useful given the air con didn't appear to be controllable. I reduced the setting to cool down from 30 degree weather outside and it hovered at 26 degree so not really worth the noise. I asked to use a hair dryer and the staff couldn't be more helpful. I also was given a room early without a problem. Altho' there's not a lot of amenities in the hotel, the staff were really helpful in signposting me. Improvements i'd recommend are 1] move the mirror closer to the one double plug in the room. 2] put in an additional plug beside the bed and 3] fix the aircon and put instructions into the room!

It is a budget hotel and you get a great sized, clean room with shower and toilet. There isn't a separate bathroom, the shower and sink is in the room with a separate small room with a toilet. Location is great, being less than 5 mins walk to the train station, Ikea and West Quay. The things I'm missed was the tea/coffee making facilities. I think it is expensive for what it is but was fine for one night. However, if I was staying again, I would try to get into the Ibis or Novotel which are next door as they aren't much more expensive and have much better facilities.

The room was clean with comfortable bed. The size is very small as it is a very budget accommodation. The carpets are old and need updating but the rooms do not have carpets so they are clean. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. One night is okay for a stay but probably not more than that. Not really comfortable to stay in.

This is a very basic hotel , budget is the correct name not sure it was good but value

Fab as ever! Thanks to the team

The room is clean and staff is friendly. Missed the breakfast by 10 minutes, didn’t realize it was 6:30 to 10 am only.

very good

Parking easy and close yo hotel

Convenient Location for Cruise Terminal

Clean and comfortable room, but no coffee making facilities. Also, no cooked breakfast available. Overall, though, good value for the money.

Perfectly acceptable for a short stay. Close to Southampton Central, Mayflower and Horizon Cruise Terminals and West Quay shopping center.

Very good thanks would stay there again

This is a budget hotel, we got what we expected. Nothing fancy, nothing extra, just the basics. Close to cruise terminal, and local needs, close to tourist exploration. Very cool town wish we stayed in town a few extra days

Very basic. No tea/ coffee tray in the room. Basic breakfast I didn’t even bother. Would not stay here again.

The property is okay if you’re using it for an overnight stay before boarding a cruise. It is definitely conveniently located to the cruise port. The staff was helpful with giving us the information for a taxi service which was affordable for a 6 passenger. We reserved it the night before. The hotel staff also had information about which port we would be leaving out of for our ship. Sky princess left out of mayflower 106. They don’t have amenities in the room such as a blow dryer but had one at the desk, same with an iron.

Scaffolding outside, very basic, guess that’s what you get for the price.

So, I appreciate that this is a “budget” hotel (although I felt the £107 per night price wasn’t overly budget!) but my room basically consisted of nothing but a bed, a shower, toilet and tv. The bed and pillows were really hard, which left me with a sore back and neck, there was literally NOWHERE to sit apart from the bed, no kettle or anything in the room, including even water.. I did see some fridges with cold drinks in reception, but £2.75 for a can of Fanta? Ridiculous. Yes it was convenient for the venue I was attending for a wedding, but would I go there again? Certainly not at that price!

So far so good ,it is a convenient place to stay for the cruise ship

Room was small but clean.

Clean room, breakfast okay.
