Actually ,firm mattresses are the best for our backs !! Soft ones aren't good ! It just not comfortable at 1st ,but firm ones can help our backs to get straightened & better . 💜

Also,if you're sharing a room ,you can sit on the bench & your partner can in the desk chair ! Also for eating meals ! Lol I really love Ibis & what they can offer for the prices !!

Double bed bases are in 2 sections because you’d never get them in a room. The toilet flush handle is missing a wood surround and the metal nut that goes on the end. As for the lights….. great video though and a nice hotel. The Britannia group have some amazingly beautiful hotels but they’re tired and worn out. They’re obviously making an effort to sort the hundreds of rooms out but it’s going to take a very long time and cost a fortune.
@JourneywithmattАй бұрын

Matt for the price of the room is reasonable though the room could have a good clean p s Wi-Fi should have been free bit of a let down not good on people staying in the hotel

Definitely better than some other Britannia hotels I've seen on video. Older buildings like this are hard to keep maintained, but the flaws are minor, and I wouldn't be afraid to spend the night there. From what we've seen here it doesn't deserve bad reviews.

Hey, I agree with you. I found this hotel quite homely compared to others I've stayed in. I think it's all depended on the room you're given. But the staff were really friendly.

I stayed at The Ibis Hotel Southampton for 1 week before a cruise 10 months ago. I agree with Matt, it was a comfortable, clean hotel. I felt very safe there and enjoyed the ocean breeze and squawking seagulls from my window. I would have liked a small fridge in the room, but I guess that would have increased the price.
