Penilaian & Ulasan Keseluruhan The Grapes

A unique stay that I booked for the adventure of it. Sure enough downstairs partied until after 2 AM

Rooms above an old English pub. Can’t beat the atmosphere. Be prepared for a little street noise and narrow stairs.

The rooms are directly above a busy bar and party area (with several other bara and restaurants in the same area. No double glazed windows. You cannot sleep until 2am. The room itself is however good and it is only a few minutes’ walk to the port for a cruise.

The Grapes Hotel is a piece from history, and historic hotel connected with historic events that hasn´t had the old doors and woodwork replaced with modern veneer. This is absolutely the real deal. This is the place where at least some of the Titanic crew partied the night away the night of April 9-10, 1912, just before they went on their voyage. And the pub looks like it did. You lay in your room at night listening to the sounds below, and you can almost hear that fateful night, just before life for Southampton was forever changed. Sitting in the pub you can see in your minds eye stokers and firemen, a little drunk, rushing out the door in the morning to get to work. The Grapes is where any serious maritime historian ought to stay at least one night in Southampton.

Staff were excellent

I would definitely stay here again . My room was at the top of the building so would not suit people with mobility issues . There’s no parking so that’s also an issue if you had a lot of luggage . The area is fairly trendy with dining places and bars nearby so a little bit noisy but it’s a city centre pub so what did you expect ? Rooms are clean a comfortable but what stood out was the friendliness and professionalism of the staff . I met 4-5 of them during my stay and they were all people I would be delighted to employ in any customer facing role because they had the right attitude and approach . 10/10

Excellent reception,helpful in carrying case. Lovely room , excellent value. Help with taxi number etc

We were warned it would be noisy but it wasn't and the entire experience was terrific.

Good: I picked this hotel because of proximity to the cruise ship port. It is just a 1 min walk to the entry of the port. Eating/drinking - there is a bar at the bottom of the hotel, and many right around the area just feet away. Bad: Small stairs to go up to room difficult to carry luggage. Rm is tiny, but doable. The small twin? bed had a head board and foot board which forced me to cruch into a ball to fit on the bed. Im 6'2". If it didnt have a foot board would have been able to just hang my feet off and would have been ok. The shower was also small (more usual in europe) and the shower head holder actually broke while i was showering.

This property is on a street that is closed off to traffic. It is not listed clearly in the listing. It was difficult to get to via the transportation we had from Heathrow and we had to drag our bags from the street to the hotel. This is was for both the check in and check out. We were in town to catch a cruise.

Close to the cruise terminal. Nice street with bars and restaurants on.

Interesting 3rd floor room above a bar! It had a queen size mattress sitting in a Wooden box on the floor. Very low & hard to get up from!! Orbitz and/or hotel had mixed up our booking so all sorts of problems at check in. Not for older travelers.

Great 'local' accommodations. As many old hotels, there is no lift so guests must be able to climb 3 flights of narrow winding stairs - which are definitely worth it. Great staff and pub with restaurants steps away. Breakfast next door (included) is the best 'full' English breakfast and lattes of our trip.

great place nice large clean room with free tea coffee and toiletries the staff go over and above to help in any way they can,there are a few stairs to negotiate but it is a listed building so no lifts allowed, but the staff are more than willing to help, and a superb breakfast to set you off for the day

Staff was very friendly went the extra mile to help us. Recommended good restaurants. Had their own nice patio

Rooms come with access to a great historic pub and is located near great restaurants.

Hotelli osoittautui loistavaksi valinnaksi. Henkilökunta ystävällistä ja huone todella siisti ja tilava. Kaikki tarvittava löytyi. Hotellin alakerran pubi oli rennon viihtyisä , ja hintaan kuulunut aamiainen naapurissa sijainneessa kahvila The Docksissa hyvä . Hotellin sijainti Oxford Streetillä oli todella hyvä. Suosittelen lämpimästi - ei tosin pubin yläkerrassa olevana ole lapsiperheille paras mahdollinen.

What a fantastic pub/hotel. Went on a cruise and so close to the port. Super impressed with our welcome and the room.

I must admit - when I read that this pub offered a BnB service, I was sceptical at first. Would it be clean? Would it be noisy? Now afterwards, I have nothing to complain about. The (single) room was clean and modern, had everything I could've asked for. And the accommodation part is next door to the pub, so I was never disturbed by any noise. I didn't engage much with staff, but those two I talked to were both very friendly, helpful and accommodating. High quality accommodation at a very good price!!

old building, only four rooms on third level no lifts. Apart from this, the staff helped to take luggage up to room. Room was clean, spacious and en suite. Only a shirt taxi to cruise terminal. A 15 to 20 minute level walk to the centre of town. Knowing above, would book again.
