What a great little place, especially for the price. Very central, handy to everything in the city. Fresh seeming carpet on stairs and landings, spacious room. Bed was comfy and room was clean. Microwave and fridge were handy, as was desk to work from. WiFi strong enough for me to work no with issues and smart TV was amazing. The old saying is you get what you pay for. This place is trying to give you more than that while not charging the earth, which in this day and age is admirable.

Only slight issue was shower, which was a little temperamental in flow (though granted was in an attic room) and temperature (hot then cold after about 2 minutes then hot again)

The location was great, so close to the cultural quarter. We were greeted at 3pm and settled in immediately. The hosts were even thoughtful enough to place us together, despite booking seperately. The rooms themselves were spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The bed was the most comfortable I have slept in and the area was quiet with ample free parking at the back of the accommodation. Fully accessible to the train station, theatre, beautiful local parks, , the co-op was a stones throw away for provisions. Walkable to museums, cafes, bars, clubs, restaurants, local Parkrun and numerous other city attractions. Great value for money with a clean, shared kitchen, adequately equipped for self-catering. A true budget, no nonsense stay that was safe, quiet and exceptionally well run.

Umm.... Really nothing! . It was exactly as described. I have stayed in Southampton several times as my daughter is at Uni there and will definitely use this guesthouse again. If you can't be bothered to make your own breakfast then just go to the little cafe or weatherspoons around the corner🍳😉.

Best value for the price. Everything for cooking in such limited space, including required utensils. TV working, view on the parked car. And you are in the heart of the city to walk on Jane Austin places, marvel on the huge cruise liner, dine on Weatherspoon, etc. You can drive for less than hour to Bournemouth promenade to enjoy with sea view during a long walk and, possibly, to swim as well.

Shower required experience to adjust temperature of water and the steam of water was rather rather tiny.

Free on-site parking is a major bonus in a city centre. My room was clean and comfortable with tea & coffee facilities, microwave, fridge, TV, towels and toiletries. It was facing onto the road, but I don't remember hearing anything outside even though the window was open for my entire stay. The thing that made my stay most of all was the staff. Check-in took literally seconds with no fuss and I was taken up to my room. Unfortunately I broke my ankle as I walked back to the guest house late at night, but I was able to hobble the remaining few yards and get to bed. In the morning as I limped out I was kindly offered the use of a crutch and my bag was carried to my car (I broke my left ankle and fortunately my car is automatic, so I was able to drive home before going to A&E). The compassion I was shown meant a lot when I was feeling a bit sorry for myself!! I stay in Southampton 2 or 3 times per year and would stay here again without hesitation, in fact I will make this my first choice from now on. It's not 5* luxury, but it is excellent value for money and is run by genuine, honest, caring people.

For what it cost, what's not to like?

Large house divided into rooms. Pleasant, helpful owner and good reception. Everywhere appears to be newly refurbished. Smart, clean and tidy and, on the night, quiet. Bedroom was a good size. Laminate flooring with chest of drawers, desk and chair, bedside cabinet and sink with cupboard under. Tele and shelf and hangers. Single bed was OK. Bedding clean and fresh. Warm, bright and quiet. Window with view of the car park. Shared shower room with toilet. Big room with large shower cabinet. Cupboards and window. Very clean and bright and warm. Good towel and toiletries provided. Shared kitchen was big and bright and clean. Tea/coffee/milk/sugar provided. Hob, fridge, tabletop oven and microwave. Fridge with freezer. Cupboards with crockery and cutlery and a toaster. All appeared new. Again, clean and warm and well kept. Plenty of free parking behind the building. Centrally located five minute walk from the Mayflower theatre and shops, pub, restaurants etc. short drive to the cruise liner terminal. All in all very good. Excellent price.

Minor bugbears; shower room door needs the top shaving as it very difficult to close and lock. A soap tray is needed if bars of soap are to be issued. And a bath mat to stop the floor getting wet (There was a rolled up towel on the windowsill, but, I wasn’t sure if it was a spare towel or the mat).

Great location close to the main train station, bus station and the Mayflower Theatre. Nice restaurant 'Prive', just around the corner. Also supermarket very close by. Spacious room with kitchenette, beds comfy. Towels and curtains a bit old but everything was extremely clean.

We couldn't open the window at all for fresh air - that may have been because we were on the ground floor for security. A good reading lamp by the bed would have been nice.

i had looked at the cheapest room while on the train. i didnt know it was an attic room. but the owner gave me an double room downstairs shared bathroom which was really an onsuite great. Circle guest house is a 5 minute walk acroos the park from the city centre 1 minute walk to the culture area. can not fault it lesx than 5 minutes walk from teain station. I would recommend it

Nothing , It was great clean quiet centre of town.

Fridge, kettle & tea/coffee facilities provided. Quite a small room, but great use of space & nice and clean. Very easy check-in & fantastic to have parking on-site too.

Bin in bedroom didn't have a lid, and having stayed there all week without it being emptied, it did make the room smell a little. Bulb had gone in downlight & would have been nice to have a bedside lamp, but otherwise lovely!

In room microwave, hotpot for tea, plenty of coffee and tea with extras, small refrigerator, and in-room sink. Interesting view out the window, very quiet peaceful restful place, also a television. Place to hang clothes, good steam heat in the room, bed was comfortable. Convenient to the central train station, and easy walking to many local stores. Management was very nice. Excellent value.

I thought I could walk to the cruise ship dock from there but it was actually too far. About half way I was lucky to find a taxi to carry me and my luggage there.

I wanted somewhere near to Southampton Central for 1 night as I was going away the next day and found this it's close enough to the station that you can carry a bit of luggage without too much trouble ( I had a cabin bag and small weekend bag) but far enough away so it's quiet. I loved the room and the bed was comfy. I haven't stayed in a room with a fridge or microwave before and that was lovely. The bathroom was a nice size as well. The owners were lovely as well. Will be back.
