Matipa-Rise Guest House Southampton

Location of the property close to me visiting the General Hospital for the weekend. And I appreciate the same day booking.

I also appreciate the short notice needed to clean but there was obvious things missed, a big button on the floor, some packaging, heavy dust on the bedside cabinet (take the assembly stickers off). Bed was ok, pillows were cheap and not comfortable. But the rest of the house (accessible guest areas) were filthy! Tools lying all over the place. Far from homely. It was nice being the only one staying, UNTIL I was in bed and then someone opened my ground floor windows further and tried climbing in! When I refused to let him in the front door until I checked with the host first, he then started shouting and swearing at me. Once the host allowed him access, until very late at night he was then upstairs banging and crashing around!

All of the wording eludes to a private bathroom. IT IS NOT ensuite. No tea/coffee tray, in my bedroom. Never have I experienced that in any where else I've stayed. Again the implications of "your unit" having a TV?? Tv non existing in my "actual unit" I had to ask for hangers...not 1 in the wardrobe. No slip mat in the COMMUNAL bath room. It was dangerous. No smoke detectors that I could see? I was told getting a slip mat would take a few days???? No quiet hours. The noise from other guests was dreadful. I left 2 nights early, despite having my mum in the General. I couldn't sleep. Slamming doors etc early and very late. The only thing that saved me from not giving zeros all the way was the young man who greeted me. He was absolutely charming. Thank you 😊 But it's just a house with locks on 3 bedroom doors. Bathroom not cleaned while I was there. Same bathmat for different rooms not changed from day to day??? Very steep stairs to the rooms should be mentioned in the details.

Doing this the wrong way round....but what I did like was The host. The bedding (same as mine at home lol) My room was very clean.
