My second visit, surely that's testament enough. Had a better room this time, on lower floor with large shower cubicle. Good food, breakfast & dinner. Now with free Wifi. Live music in lounge many nights is good but you will hear it in many of the rooms, we didn't mind. Friendly helpful staff and convenient to town, common & transport... More

I stayed here for one night as I was in the city for business. Upon pulling up outside I was concerned that there was live music in the pub which is part of the hotel....it was 9:30pm and I had driven several hours with an early meeting the following morning. However I need not have worried at all. From my... More

One young man was managing the bar, reception and restaurant when we arrived at 8.30pm but he was friendly if harassed, The room was clean however only one bedside light worked and he was unable to find another. It was chilly and neither he nor we could persuade the heating to work - we took an extra duvet from the... More

I stayed at the Blue Keys Hotel during my trip across Southern England and I recommend it! The staff is great (Malcolm is a great host!), the rooms are nice, free parking and wi-fi and a nice pub at the ground floor, where you can have a beer and listen to live music after visiting the city or after a...

Friendly hotel with live music in the bar (can be both good and bad) but otherwise not so special. Southampton is not a very exciting place overall. More

The owners were extremely pleasant and very customer focussed (as well as all the other staff we encountered). Whilst it is a bar/ restaurant type hotel this didn’t detract from the hotel side...

Thank you to all the staff for a great stay. Impossible to find a fault other than the coffee cup wasnt changed after the first night. Minor detail! Great food and great sevice! Nice beer and a fantastic atmosphere before the fantastic live music thanks to emma and jack! Excellant weekend! Recommend it for food, location and entertainment! More

All in all a very acceptable stay here, certainly if travelling by car. Easy to access from out of city, and close to ferry terminals. Parking and free wifi - two of my core requirements. The restaurant, used as a pub by locals, offers some really excellent, low cost meals. Friendly staff. I was here for two days on business... More

This is not a large establishment and is probably more a of a bar/restaurant with rooms. Stayed here for 2 nights with my 17 year old son whilst visiting Uni. Good location, pleasant walk from Uni and to City centre. Good breakfasts and good evening meal served. Pleasant bar with enjoyable live music. Very friendly staff. Room fine although a... More
