Shirley house 2, Self Catering Guest House, Self Check in, Smart locks, 10 min Walk to Southampton General, Aspire and Princess Anne Hospitals, Access to F

Very clean and tidy place. The staff was very helpful when I got there and was having problem with the code. I’ll recommend it anyday. They’ve a very clean kitchen and fridge, though I did not use it as I was on a business trip.

Good kitchen facilities, clean kitchen. Excellent location for hospital. By bus or walking.

Poor external appearance.. Bathroom too far from Bedroom.. Bedroom toi basic eg. Poor exposed wiring, no bedside lights, overlooked through window and poor outlook from window.

Property was easily located .. on street parking . Perfect for what we needed

No breakfast provided — advertised as self-catering. Large fridge in kitchen with adequate space allocated to each room (labelled shelves). Large washing machine and dryer in the kitchen. Good provision of electric points in the bedroom. Whole house very quiet while I was there, despite being small. Freshly tastefully decorated rooms and shared areas. The coded locks work very well and give a sense of security. Space for my car on the small driveway. The managers were very helpful and accommodated my wish to keep the same room when I had to extend my stay (my stay was to enable me to visit my critically ill husband daily in the nearby hospital and I could not be sure how long I would need to have the room). Excellent wifi.

The venetian blind in the bedroom was broken and could not be closed fully. The shower in the nearest (upstairs) bathroom was difficult to use as a handheld one and there were no handrails on the bath to help me to get in and out of it safely (I am 79 and need this supportive feature). The signage outside was inadequate — no signboard showing the name 'Shirley Guest House' — identifying the property depended on noting the number 89 on the dustbins on the drive. It took me several drives up and down the long Warren Avenue before I found the property when I arrived and on subsequent trips out, especially after dark.

didnt have breakfast but the location seemed very acceptable
