Guest Reviews
- Lawrence (8/5): -
- Maxine (10/5): Would book and stay again perhaps for a longer time - It was room only. Very large room, clean and tidy with a comfortable bed.
- Christine (8/5): Circle guest house - Easy to access the local town, comfortable room with good amenities No smart TV just terrestrial
- Leach (8/5): - The en suite and fridge Nothing
- Juergen (5/5): - Inflexible with checkout time- we asked for 30min extra which was declined
- lara (8/5): - Excellent location, historical building, good for a short stay. Very near from railway station, restaurants and supermarkets
- Charlotte (7/5): Clean and convenient - All you need for a short stay.
Clean and comfortable. Nothing I can think of
- Paolo (9/5): -
- Paolo (9/5): -
- Lauriland13 (7/5): Fine for a night - Clean room in a quiet area with a fridge, hob, microwave, kettle, toaster and fan. Close to town and theatre. Free parking. Was able to check in earlier than check in time. Room was a good size and true to photos.
There were drawers in the room and one bedside cabinet to share between 2 single beds. Low priced room. No bin in the bathroom which is necessary especially for ladies used sanitary ware. Towels were not adequate to dry yourself as they were non absorbent. No hairdryer in the room. Pillows were uncomfortable and didn't sleep very well because of this. The mirror in the bathroom could've done with a good clean. No shower gel though there were bars of soap.
No chair or set up to put make up on and the lighting in bedroom quite low.
No shelf to put your toiletries/make up bag, they had to sit on the floor whilst using products which wasn't good.
- Alan (7/5): - Room clean and bed was comfortable No wardrobe to hang clothes
- samantha (8/5): - Easy check-in and parking.
Host was welcoming and helpful.
- JANE (6/5): - Good location, served it's purpose for 1 budget 1 night stay.
The manager carried our bags to second floor. The beds were very uncomfortable, you could feel the springs. I realize this was a budget place but you should at least get a comfortable bed.
The managers got a bit testy when asking questions.
- Grimmett (10/5): -
- Lam (10/5): - staff very helpful. i have some problem ,they can help me to fix it even is their personal time. location :7-10min to station
- Jack (10/5): -
- LAURA (8/5): - Ubicación Baño
- dodge (10/5): VERY GOOD - good location N/A
- Naga Prithvy Raju (1/5): The women who I complained about called me and threatened me to remove the review and called me a d! - It was very central and the women was very accommodating to hand out the keys early due to a restriction on the check-in time which was helpful. Though everything was fine... there was no mention of no visitors after 9PM on the listing or the message sent by them. There was a little A4 paper and on it but not mentioned while collecting keys as well. We went to find a brush to clean the coffee powder which we spilled by mistake on the carpet around 9:30 but the women looked at me and said what are you doing here? And then showed me the no visitors sign which can be missed easily. And also she was rude in the way she was talking and not hospitality approved. So anything that ruined the stay is the lady on duty though she helped with the keys early she is the main reason for us to leave a negative review.
The above was my original review and then I kept getting spam called from the property. I answered after multiple calls and the women had a go at me saying they will send a parking charge notice if I dont consider changing the review. After talking about why is a complaint being handled like this and that I have sent you the car registration already on the day of checking-in, she said you haven’t sent a message or informed us. Then she went on calling me a d!ckhead remove the review otherwise we will come to your house and then we’ll see what happens from then. Please see all attached photos. And now I’m being blamed on messages saying I’ve called them multiple times and threatened them while I was the one who got spammed and got threatened.
- Natascha (9/5): - Super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Ruhiges Zimmer mit großem Bett, Kühlschrank, Mikrowelle, Wasseroberfläche und TV.. unkompliziert bei Checl in & out. Von dort kann man Southampton gut zu Fuß erkunden.

- SANDARUWAN ESHAN (7/5): -
- Erica (6/5): Adequate for single night, I'm not sure if other rooms are nicer for longer stay. - Good location and easy to find. The room was okay and relatively clean. The room size was good. The room window was directly over a very large water drain grill so I did not open as I was worried about insects. The fridge was super noisy so I couldn't keep it on to keep my soup over night. I tried but couldn't get to sleep with the noise. The shower never got warm and kept going between tepid and cold.
- Helen (8/5): Overnighter - Location and parking
- Christopher (10/5): Great stay and friendly staff - Great location, only a 15 minute walk to the main shopping centre and less than 10 minutes to bars/cafes. Room was basic but everything you need was there. Bed was very comfortable and had a wonderful sleep.

- Ian (8/5): -
- eddie (10/5): -
- Steven (8/5): Overall, a very good budget hotel and I would definitely (a) stay here again, and (b) recommend it to others. - The location is fantastic and the room I stayed in was very clean and comfortable. The check-out time of 10am could maybe be 11am instead, but this is only a very minor observation, and it did not negatively impact my stay at all.
- Paolo (8/5): -
- Martin (7/5): Close to Mayflower theatre and Central Station - Location Bathroom had mould on walls and ceiling. Fittings tarnished.
- Chilcott (10/5): This hotel has everything i need and more. The hosts are very friendly. - N a
- Guest (9/5): -
- Bertazzo (8/5): - Perfect location to visit the Mayflower theatre. Fantastic value for money. Nothing really
- Marc (10/5): -
- Maria Jose (6/5): - Ubicación muy buena, al lado de la estación de tren y cerca del casco antiguo y de la calle comercial. Las camas son muy pequeñas y las almohadas daban la impresión de no estar demasiado limpias. Pero aún así, está bien, es muy práctico.
- Chewe (8/5): -
- MARK (9/5): Great location for the Guildhall - The location was great, free parking, the room was a great size, kitchenette was a good size and good price. Nothing to dislike.
- Teresa (8/5): -
- Sean (8/5): -
- SimonL1975 (6/5): - It was cheap and the bed was comfy, perfect for a short stay.
- Wind (10/5): Completely satisfied - Very much Friendly staff !Very clean!
- Rebekah (8/5): -
- PORTEOUS (10/5): -
- bill (8/5): -
- Andrew (8/5): Tidy, quiet, welcoming guest house, close to amenities. - I was very pleased to find the guest house very nicely kept, the foyer, the hall, stairs etc. Although we had an upstairs room, the stairs are not so many and the staff very kindly took our luggage up there for us anyway. We arrived several hours early, and they were very accommodating. It's quiet - I never heard any door slamming, other guests, music, anything. It's also only a short walking distance to 3 supermarkets, shopping centre, the art gallery, library, Guildhall, train station and plenty of parks. The TV was a decent size and worked perfectly. Wifi was pretty good too. The shower was better than many and the bathroom mirror was well-illuminated too. My Dad liked the view of the Mayflower Theatre at night. For what it is, it really couldn't be much better. The street outside isn't so lovely in places, and Southampton in general is a busy, noisy city, so you can expect sirens quite often. I would still happily stay there again though.
- joel (8/5): -
- Mark (10/5): Staff always polite and helpful - Stayed before a few times. Always been good. Can't fault anything about it N/A
- Carol (9/5): Overall a good stay, and would return - Good location, friendly staff and free parking No where to sit, only on the bed.
- Richard (8/5): - Great location, friendly staff, free parking and good value for money. You get what you pay for, nothing fancy but you cant hold that against it for what you pay.
- Andrzej (8/5): -
- Lena (5/5): - Super close to the city centre - walking distance. Bathroom needs maintenance, very simple bedroom. Not comfortable.. didn’t feel alright as a female solo traveler.
- Anouar (7/5): -
- Serena (7/5): - Stanza piccola ma funzionale, check-in efficiente e rapido. Per il prezzo pagato più che ottimo
- Lynne (9/5): -

- Yuliia (10/5): Highly recommend and would love to stay here again! - I had an absolutely wonderful stay and would highly recommend this place! Everything was super clean — spotless from the room to the shared areas. I felt very comfortable from the first day.
The location was perfect. It’s just a few minutes’ walk from the city centre and only about two minutes from the Titanic Museum, which was amazing. Everything was within walking distance, and the neighbourhood was very calm and peaceful with quiet neighbours — exactly what I needed.
I also really enjoyed the fact that I spent the whole week there on my own. No one was staying next to me, so I could use the shared bathroom and kitchen by myself, which made the experience even more comfortable and relaxing.
Another thing I truly appreciated was that I was allowed to keep the hairdryer in my room. For me this is very important because my hair doesn’t dry naturally and I really need a hairdryer — so this meant a lot to me.
Overall, I’m extremely happy with my stay and would definitely choose this place again in the future. The only small thing to mention is that the toilet flush handle sometimes didn’t work properly and might need fixing. But honestly, this was a very minor issue compared to how great everything else was.
- S (10/5): A really nice place to stay - I've stayed in a few budget guest houses in Southampton as a solo traveller to attend gigs and events. Usually it's a case of "it's cheap, i'll make do" and I don't have a good experience, but I genuinely really enjoyed my stay here.
I only interacted with staff briefly when checking in, but they were very polite and efficient. No faffing about and I felt welcomed. Located a walkable distance from the train and coach stations and conveniently close to shops and other locations like Papillon for gigs.
The room itself was clean and simple. Contained a small fridge, microwave, kettle with tea/coffee, a small fold out table and chair perfectly big enough for doing some work on my laptop. There was a TV in the room and although I didn't use it, nice to have. Towel and coathangers also provided - to be honest there's nothing else I could have asked for for a basic overnight stay and I appreciated all the little comforts provided
Bed was comfy and sheets smelled clean. The shared bathroom with shower was also pleasant and clean, the whole place was nicely decorated and tidy.
Circle Guest House exceeded my expectations for a budget stay and I would gladly stay here again
- wissal (8/5): -
- Laura (10/5): Brilliant - Great location, clean, parking was great too protected by cctv, brilliant value for money, host was very approachable nice guy. Would definitely stay again.
- Nathan (1/5): -
- Baradei (8/5): - Location is good. Staff very polite and helpful. Price was affordable and what you would expect. One issue the room was not 100 percent clean as hoped but still nice for short stay.
- Chewe (8/5): -
- Silvia Andrea (7/5): - Stanza funzionale. Adatta per un breve soggiorno. La pulizia del microonde e bollitore era scadente.
- Catalino (10/5): Satisfied - Amazing Heater with a certain time only 2x a day to open but they give me extra heater
