Hunters Lodge Guest House

Bra trevligt bemötande, trevligt välskött

Stayed in a small single room in the loft, There was a wide light on the headboard, that stuck out exactly where you put your head, so I was unable to sit up on the bed to watch TV. After the first night I asked if there was another room available but they were fully booked and was told, it has been like this since they owned the property and nobody has mentioned it before. On arrival there was a wire that went from the bathroom around the door frame into the switch in the bedroom and taped up. This could have been an aerial but I’m not sure. A couple of days later, despite having a don’t disturb sign on the door, it had been removed, although I wasn’t told anyone was going into the room. Door entry into the property is via a code of which you should receive an email prior to arrival. I didn’t receive this so having told the owner when I arrived, she said she had sent it but no apology, just said she can’t explain everything to me. I took my vehicle out with me 1 day, out of the 6 nights I stayed but when I got back there was nowhere to park. I was told to park in the road, but during the day you can only park for 2hrs and I was leaving it there all day. I eventually parked in front of 2 other vehicles that were not moving for a few days. The bed had springs sticking out of the side, and I had the worst 6 nights sleep I have ever had. I got a pain down my right side that increased daily, until I could barely walk.. I will definitely never stay there again.

My ratings are because I did not use the amenities or need to see staff, therefore could not rate them high or low. Water pressure in my room was very low, not enough for a shower but I do not know if this was just my room, the whole hotel or the neighbourhood. Nevertheless, Hunters Lodge is a pleasant and convenient place for an overnight stay in Southampton.

Location is not the best. No staff to be seen, and the access via a code. Bar was closed. I had no windows in my room and although the bedroom, the sheets, the towels and the bathroom were clean, the room was outdated and tired. The TV was very small and I kept loosing reception. I was surprised by the rating on Hotels.com. However, the room rate was much cheaper than other places in Southampton.
