The hotel is in the heart of Romsey and close to the Abbey, making it a convenient stop in this lovely small town. The rooms provide both a bath and a shower, but lacking a full-length mirror was a downside. The service encountered, including some issues with communication and door unlocking, was a bit mixed. The dining experience, although nice when included in the B&B rate, was lacking in variety and could be considered expensive if purchased separately. The location gets top marks for being central but needs some modern updates for the 21st century.

The rooms had a bath and shower but were missing a full-length mirror. Some form of air conditioning would have been beneficial.

Dining

The dining experience was average; the food was acceptable, but the lack of available options could improve. Opting for the B&B rate would be more economical as individual items can be pricey.

The facilities need some updating for the 21st century but offer basic amenities for a comfortable stay.

7.2/10

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the room offered a great view of the town from a 60” flat screen TV and a Nespresso machine, the small and uncomfortable space was a downside for me. The service was excellent, but some areas like stairs and pre-dinner drink service could be improved. The location was perfect for exploring Romsey with its historical charm, but the limited restaurant menu was a letdown. The dining experience had delicious options, but being a vegan, the choices were very limited. Overall, a stay with highs and lows.

The location was convenient but did not represent good value for money. The dining was a bit inconsistent, with tasty food but some timing issues. Overall, it was a decent stay with room for improvement.
