The hotel is... More

Superb dinner and breakfast. All staff/management were very friendly and helpful, could not do enough for us. Reasonably sized room, very comfy bed, tea and coffee making facilities and flat screen television. Good location for the docks. Would highly recommend this hotel.

A very convivial atmosphere within both the bar and dining area. Breakfast was most enjoyable and filling. Garry was most helpful and had a good sense of humour. Hotel is... More

A nice small hotel with clean rooms and a friendly staff. The bar has at least one special ale on tap and reasonable priced drinks. The restaurant features a good breakfast included with the room rate. The Blue Keys is an excellent value. Will stay here again when crusing out of Southampton.

Quick and helpful in making the booking at this promising looking small hotel. Good impression on arrival, and staff continued the helpful attitude. I ate good suppers in the decent bar area and generous breakfasts in the restaurant. All with that good service. Where things came unstuck were on the basics of a hotel stay. Sleep was a problem the... More
