Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm traveling solo I'm not driving I've literally come here from the station

this room was actually one of the cheapest I could find online in the whole of Southampton tonight beating the IIs budget by about £25

great location friendly staff very clean thankfully um I don't think you can beat this for price in terms of what you're getting

if you have Mobility restrictions uh or you would struggle bringing your luggage up to the second floor this is going to be a challenge for you

YouTube Video Description

I feel like I’ve stayed in most hotels in Southampton, U.K., either prior to or after a cruise! And just prior to my next cruise on P&O Iona I stayed at the budget-conscious The Grapes, located on Oxford Street, Southampton. Here’s the low down on my stay here; Location, nearby eateries and bars, accommodation, what’s included and what’s not, the pros and the cons. Hope you enjoy and see you next time for my new P&O Iona series!
