This exquisite little hotel is an architectural gem, beautifully decorated, comfortable rooms with sumptuous bathrooms, designed for luxury getaways. No food service is offered, except a token continental morning starter, but ample dining is available within walking distance. Hotel staff is very helpful, friendly and discreet. We would gladly have spent more nights here, and heartily recommend the Carlton for a unique experience.

Room looked good and was comfortable. Great, friendly staff and good cleaning in the room. The continental breakfast served to the room was perhaps not to the same \"level\" of quality as the rest of the hotel experience. There was some road noise at times, being on the front and potentially due to the single glazing. I'd suggest requesting a room on the back if you are a light sleeper.

Overall an enjoyable stay

I was staying on the main floor room #1 which was just next to the main entrance and also right across the reception area. Every time when guests were coming in or out, the door was slammed and I could hear their conversation. It was throughout the night until almost midnight, and in the morning as early as 5 am when guests were checking out. The room was not big and the bed was close to the window I could hear the conversation between the guests and their pickup drivers. Both myself and my husband couldn’t sleep all night.

This boutique hotel is an absolute gem! With only 9 rooms, it offers an intimate and personalized experience. Housed in a beautifully restored historic building, the design is simply stunning — a perfect blend of classic charm and modern comfort.
The rooms are quite spacious, featuring elegant décor, large bathrooms, and very comfortable beds. Although there is no elevator (due to the age and preservation of the building), the narrow, spiral staircase is a charming architectural detail. The hotel staff are wonderfully friendly and more than happy to assist with luggage if needed.
A lovely bonus: breakfast is included and adds to the overall value. Located in a quiet area of Southampton, this hotel offers a peaceful retreat while still being close to everything.
Highly recommended for a stylish and memorable stay!

Nice Hotel in Southampton

Beautiful decor in an old heritage building. The furnishings are top-notch, and Mandice were very welcoming and nice to interact with. Our room was nicely furnished and comfortable; the air conditioning was excellent. Two small issues were the lack of hot water at the bathroom sink and the broken curtain closing system. The hotel is located in a generally quiet area; however, on Friday night there was a loud drunk man yelling on the sidewalk below our windows at 4 a.m.. The continental breakfast is boxed and delivered to your room in the morning. Also, because it is an old building in a heritage area they are not allowed to fit an elevator.

We travel often. This is probably one of the nicest hotels we have experienced. The bathroom was gorgeous and unbelievable. The towel warmer warms the spacious modern bathroom. We felt like we were staying at a spa. Location is great for walking to lunch and dinner. Would definitely stay again, if we come back to Southampton.

The communication from the hotel was great.

That set the tone for what was a great place with great hospitality. They arranged transfers for us, the continental breakfast was lovely, and they are expanding, adding a restaurant and bar. Highly recommend these folks, they will take great care of you!

Would recommend instructions with the coffee maker--how to use it was not intuitive. Also, for the kettle, there is no easy way in the room to fill it--the bathroom sink is quite shallow. Loved the room but there was no desk area for writing. That said, furnishings were love, bed super-comfortable, and overall appearance exceptional. Behind the Georgian facade is an ultra-modern hotel.
