Ibis Budget Southampton Centre

Just what it says on the tin budget hotel

Most awful bedroom like as a younghotel and an bad temperature experience during British trip,only as not in London? Tramed drainege, great noise, bronken door card(4 times repair) and narrow square not equal to it's Logo and consume (most expensive about 1000/night),etc. Beg good lucky [合十]last night in British at London.

Check out is at 12.00 noon house keeping knocked on the door at 09.30. 10.30 and 11.30 to see when I was going. I think the room I got was in a wing full of people who live here and chose to walk up and down the corridor all night long chatting .

It's cheap and cheerful but the concept is getting a bit tired. The bathroom's fixtures and fittings and I'll need to be updated soon. The beds are a strange concept not enough plugs in the rooms . Come on z that's a simple obvious thing . Nice staff. The kettle needed a deposit . Yes it did .

This hotel was overbooked on the day I checked in. Many guests including my friend did not get the room even he prepaid in full the booking. The hotel could not even helped the guests to find a hotel room nearby. This is very unacceptable service. Although the location is central, I will not recommend this hotel.

Overall I thought this Hotel for having ‘budget’ in its name was very good, I still think that £182 was pretty expensive for what was on offer compared to the big brands like Travelodge/Premier Inn. This Hotel was in a very convent location in Southampton and is within short walking distance from Southampton Cebtrak Train Station, Southampton Coach Station and Southampton Cruise Terminal. There’s even a McDonald’s right outside the building, The lobby was clean and tidy and check in speed was fast, first problem is that the Key cards kept randomly l stop working almost every time I went in and out of the hotel, asked what the problem could be and was told that the cards de magnetise if near a mobile device, I found this irritating, the room was a decent size with comfortable bed, Shower is in the bedroom and the toilet was in its own little closet, dident bother me as a solo traveller, the shower was slightly frustrating as the temperature consistently kept changing from hot to cold and the handle was that big it was easy to knock the handle and turn if the shower without intentionally doing so, Imtge rooms have no kettle and no plug sockets near the bed only two plugs by the desk, I like the option to have 24/7 access to food and drink at recipe if you need it there’s a menu/leaflet in the rooms, unfortunately the breakfast for a continental breakfast was very poor, very little selection on offer and the 2nd morning had considerably less with very little to eat, for the price that was very disappointing, apart from that its convent on location and gets the job done
